Description
I have these transformers which have been attached since 2000, see photo below, can you please advise if I have made a mistake in choosing the correct bulbs for the job? If you have low voltage halogen light bulbs installed with a transformer, the first thing you need to do before replacing Halogen MR16 light bulbs with MR16 LED bulbs is to find the transformer’s maximum load. You should be able to find this on the body of the transformer itself, in the form of a ‘VA’ number. This VA number will either be fixed, or it will be a range (e.g. 10-60VA). Anyone know the answer to this ?……My lights are 12 volt……20 Watt max…….Halogen…With transformer….. There are 4 lights…… 20w bulb in each one……MR16….GU5.3…. 50mm wide by 45mm depth You would need a transformer to reduce the mains voltage down to 12 volts. There are two types of transformers available in the market. One is the electromagnetic transformer and the other is electronic. Electronic transformers are preferred due to their efficiency and low cost. #3 The compatibility
Most people will be able to recover the cost of a new light bulb within three months. Less trips to the store and up the ladder can be saved with the use of LEDs. It takes about 25,000 hours for them to finish. By comparison, compact fluorescents can last up to 8,000 hours. Can you switch from halogen to LED headlights?The sale of higher energy bulbs was phased out in the UK in the last year. The sale of high energy fluorescent lightbulbs will be phased out by the government by September 23, 2023. I currently have down lights with Osram decode 51s (12V 50W) halogen bulbs. Each light has a dimmable 60VA transformer connected. Could you please advise on a suitable replacement dimmable LED bulb?
As most LED bulbs have a much lower wattage, for example 5W – this falls below the minimum rating that the transformer is designed for (20W).You may run into problems with this transformer, as it is designed for use with Halogen light bulbs and therefore has a wattage range of 20W to 60W. For example, if you have one 35W halogen installed in your kitchen, ensure you swap it for 35W equivalent LED. The actual wattage of the LED light bulb may vary, but the equivalent wattage must be the same as your current halogen light bulbs. For example, you might find both 5W and 6W LED light bulbs that have an equivalent wattage of 35W; both of these would be fine to replace 35W halogen light bulbs.”
These numbers tell you the maximum wattage that the transformer can carry. For example, a 40VA transformer can handle up to a 40-watt halogen light bulb, while a 10-60VA one can carry between 10 and 60 watts worth of bulbs. Some transformers might just carry one individual light bulb, while others might be able to carry several lower wattage light bulbs in a series.
Heading 2
The G4 lamps are types of the bi-pin or two-pin standard, defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). My question is – I would think I need to leave the low voltage dimmer instead of switching it to an LED dimmer. As far as I know, a standard LED dimmer is not low voltage. Do they even make an LED low voltage dimmer? Do I need it?
