Hi all, looking for a little advice please. Here's the backstory: I've had an ongoing issue with my kitchen lighting for a couple of months. There are 8 downlighters on a standard (not dimmer) switch, and they are MR16 bulbs. Every so often (a couple of times a week) switching on the lights...

Hi I have 25 MR16 Aurora fire-rated downlights like these in a few downstairs rooms, installed by an electrician during building work 5 years ago. All wired via small black JBs and Aurora transformers. I'm converting them all from 50W halogens to 5W LEDs. I've had some false starts with...

I wonder if I can once again get some advice from you good people. We have a bathroom with 50w 12v MR16 halogen downlights, including one directly over the bath and one above the shower. Each downlight is connected to its own transformer, rated 35w-120w. A couple of bulbs went, and while it's...

Hello all, A light fitting with MR16 dichroics seems to have a stuck bulb. I was under the impression that these were just pull-out :?: The shrouds around each bulb are one-piece, with no apparent option to dismantle the shroud. The bulbs are recessed into the shroud. There is a circular...

Hi all...first timer, be gentle :D We recently moved into our new house where the previous owners went spotlight crazy in every room .I hate the things but can't be bothered to get rid of them yet. Anyway... All the bulbs were 50w halogen MR16. I want to change all bulbs to LED to save money...

GU10 mains voltage lamps fit in MR16 lamp holders. The (electrical) socket does not fit, but these can be changed and the transformer removed from the circuit

MR16 are 12v so have a transformer/power supply in the floor above. You will need to be able to access this, to remove it, if you want to convert to GU10. Maybe time for a re think!

You can look it up as well as me. Last time I made factually correct post (about MR16 lamps) it was removed. If I answer your question it might well be removed so I can't be bothered to waste my time.

Or even 230V ones. Indeed. Using "MR16" to refer to a lamp which is 2" in diameter and is sort-of the shape of an MR16, and will probably fit most luminaires designed for them, even if it does not have a multifaceted reflector is one thing, but this is quite another: Not all MR16 lamps are...

MR16 refers to the type and size of the glass - Multifaceted Reflector x eighths of inch. GU10 refers to the connector pins. So, no you cannot swap MR16 for GU10. Your confusion is understandable as manufacturers do not know either. Yours will likely have GU 5.3 (mm.) pins. You...

Thanks all, Options: As each MR16 lamp has its own transformer using 12v 35w halogen bulbs. So each MR16/GU5.3 led bulb is 5w and the way wiring to the lamps/transformers is laid/connected in the ceiling, it would be easy enough to remove 5 of the transformers and run the 6 led's in the...

For starters the box(1st pic) is a transformer this will have a rating on it, this rating should correspond to the lamp and load. It could be that the transformer has failed rather than the lamp. If you could remove the lamp from the lampholder, there will likely be printed text on it, giving...

Totally fed up with this rubbish - keep blowing/overheating wires. I have three in the kitchen, each fed off its own transformer/driver. I want to rid myself of these and replace with some low profile bulkhead 14w LED lights. Is it as simple as removing the driver and feeding into the new light?

Incidentally, is there any reason that I cannot change the cable from MR16 to GU10 (removing the transformer obviously) or are the light fittings different? 50W MR16s presumably produce a similar heat release to 50W GU10s? (I want to use CFLs anyway)

[/url] The transformer has not failed because the light still works but it has been dimming for the last few months. This is what the lamp looks like when the lampholder is removed.

Sorry, that was my typo/mistake. I meant swapping from GU5.3 to GU10. Perhaps this isn't necessary...? The guy from Scolmore did say there would be a saving, but as they were low voltage and I wasn't switching from 203v there is much less of a saving. I guess my biggest issue if having to...

The glass in the fitting protects you, the glass in the OP's hand (if Iggifer's correct) is the remnants of a defective GU10/MR16 lamp. They do very occasionally just fall to bits. Those fittings are almost impossible to do a lamp swap without (partly at least) removing them from the ceiling.

They can be difficult to remove, I have one of these in my tool kit and man draw. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Small-MR16-Black-Sucker-Suction/dp/B008HSPLVU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397834479&sr=8-1&keywords=light+bulb+sucker

OK those are factually correct statements but they lack the explanations as to why they are correct and this removes credibility. Had you explained that MR16 refers to a type of lamp that has multiple reflectors ( MR ) and is 2 inches in diameter ( 16 times 1/8 of an inch ) then the OP would...

Hi Got a customer who has asked me to replace some light bulbs for LED ones, they are on a dimmer, the lights are 4 x GU10 50watt and 1 x MR16 Low Voltage (in a fan light). The way I see it I need to remove the fan from the set up on its own pullcord and power. Change the dimmer switch to a...
