[QUOTE="hawaiianrobot, post: 523198, member: 34571"] Hi, Please excuse me if this is a very basic question. I've been attempting to replace some MR16 dimmable Halogen lights (Sylvania Coolfit) in a 12V 50W max GX5.3 Coolfit 50 ceiling recess with led lights. I tried some GU5.3 12V led bulbs and they didn't work, and having put the Sylvania bulbs back, they don't work either now. Before I call an electrician out, [B]have I just picked the wrong bulbs or has something blown[/B]? I would prefer to not have to get specialist/hard to find bulbs, if there's no real benefit. Is it straightforward switching the fittings to a GU5.3 fitting, if that's the issue? Many thanks! Sam [/QUOTE]
