For the GU10 you can get a little sucker to help you turn the lamp about 15° needed to remove and refit. The holder looks like this but the MR16 which is extra low voltage looks the same from the outside and these are often held in with a ring. The socket behind them looks like this and once...

It was a while before I learnt this tip A GU10 lamp has the pins 10mm apart A GU4 has the pins 4mm apart Can you see where I'm going here? What can you deduce about a GU24? Edit removed the MR line due to crotchety replies.

Hi, I have 4 12v downlights in my kitchen but one is not working, on inspection the low voltage transformer in the ceiling has a huge burnt hole in it...obviously the problem!! Can anyone tell me the benefit of running 4 low voltage lights with transformers (that potentially burn out!)...

My bulbs are 35W MR16 12V not GU10s and the Intelligent Lighting Control system can be completely removed via the spotlight cutout holes if ever I need to in the future. My risk I take I know but kinda too late now as already purchased. By the way here is a copy of my floor plans for your...

As I have already told you they are not transformers but switched mode power supplies. If they were transformers what you are suggesting would work, as would leaving all six in place. Those switched mode supplies are designed to supply halogen lamps and there is no guarantee they will drive...

Because most 2" spot lights do not have a glass in front of the lamp, the glass is part of the lamp, so remove the glass lamp and replace it with a plastic lamp and water may get in through joints in the plastic, some even have vents in the plastic. Likely the fitting does not need to be IP65 in...

Hi, I have the following:- 3 x 50 Watt MR16 12V non directional spotlights in the Lounge 1 x Cluster of 3 spotlights in Bathroom 1 x line of 4 MR16 spotlights in the Kitchen I want to replace all with low energy. Lounge - I do not want to mess around filling holes. Want to remove...

It really does not matter if the MR16 lamp is SES, E14, E27, E28, ES, GU10, G5.3 or even BA22d trying to stick probes into the lamp to measure the supply is not easy, in fact often impossible as with many switch mode power supplies they will close down without a load so there is nothing to...

The two pins, as you know, belong to the lamp. So pull them out. The (“MR16”) lamp socket will probably be damaged do you’d need a new lamp socket. HOWEVER - the halogen lamp that you are trying to replace are obsolete. You can’t buy them any more. You need to move to LED lamps...

OK, My present lamps are MR16 GU5.3 12v 42w x 12. It seems unless I am wrong that the GU10 230v LEDs are more common than the GU5.3 12v LEDs on the High street. My intentions are to remove the transformers and the GU5.3 lamp holders. Purchase GU10 lamp holders and GU10 230v LEDs and...

Hi Pal, Yes, there is a ring which pops out but the bulb remains tightly in place. Not sure if the bulb is bayonet or screw so am a little reluctant to add a lot of pressure when trying to remove it in case it cracks.... Red

Poor room lighting. High running costs.

The reason for extra low voltage goes when moving to LED, better to re-wire and move to low voltage (230 vac) when changing to LED. The law says they must write on packet if not dimmable so most GU10 LED's are dimmable. In the main 12 volt use G5.3 connections for MR16 lamps and 230 volt use...

typical lamp over a shower, advert does not give IP rating, and says fitted with a MR16 12 volt 3 watt DC bulb, finding DC bulbs not easy, Bedazzled specialise in them and yes you can get a MR16 LED bulb i.e. has a multifaceted reflector, although the one shown in the picture of the fan does...

We have 12 of these, 8 in the kitchen and 4 in the bathroom. They are no problem, but obviously use more electricity and also discolour the paint around the fittings. Holes are about 65mm in the bathroom and 75 in the kitchen. If I was replacing them with more efficient LEDs I seem to have 3...

Do you mean new to you, or a newly built house? http://www.diynot.com/diy/search/1289089/?q=remove+mr16&o=relevance&c[node]=8 http://www.diynot.com/diy/search/1289027/?q=remove+gu10&o=relevance&c[node]=8 What voltage are they? (You might need to establish that first, if you're struggling to...

We don’t know if he is doing that. I see Eric has just submitted a long post of irreverent information (according to you) much of it expanding on what I have said. Are you going to have a go at him as well or do you reserve your cyber bullying for me?

Sorry if I have introduced confusion! That may be true, but there are plenty of the latter around (MR16). You could - but, as I said, there are plenty of 12v GU5.3 LEDs around, and if you used them you could presumably retain the holders, and possibly also the transformers? Do you mean the...

we're currently running around 30 units in our house, they are LV 50w halogens with inline transformers and i've been wondering about converting them to LEDS. I'm used to removing and replacing the internals as they tend to breakdown over time due to heat from the bulbs. I have a couple of...

OK, I'm back with an update. As previous I had 12 12v - 35w (MR16 -GU5.3) halogen downlight fittings. Each light had a transformer rated at 20 - 60va. Originally I asked about changing the lamp holders from GU5.3 to GU10 and removing the transformers so that 230v led's could be fitted, but...
