[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 502550, member: 28452"] I wouldn't even try running led lamps off transformers designed for halogen. They are quite different beasts. Use either the correct led "drivers", which are actually a regulated transformer rectifier unit, OR use mains halogen lamps which effectively have the driver built in. A point with led downlighters is that they are more directional than halogens which can result in pools of light, but with the number you have that's probably not an issue. Do however look for the widest beam spread angle you can. [/QUOTE]
