New 12w LED Driver Transformer for MR16- MR11- G4 LEDLight Bulb Zero Interference with Dab and WiFi Energy Class A++

Product Information

Now the older magnetic transformers will work perfectly with LED MR16s. The issue is that the electronic low voltage transformers may not. The reason for this is that they need a minimum voltage to pass through them to operate; for example the transformer in my kitchen is 40w – 400w. Historically there were 6 50w halogen bulbs in the circuit – giving a total load of 300w. MEAN WELL Direct can also provide customised power supplies; designed to meet your specifications and requirements. The transformer you need depends on how many bulbs you want it to power timesed by the wattage. It’s also advised the total wattage of all bulbs combined doesn’t exceed 80% of the transformer’s wattage. For example, if you choose to power 4 x 4W MR16 bulbs (16W total) from one transformer, you’ll need a 20W transformer. If you want to power 4 x 6W MR16 bulbs, you’ll need a 30W transformer, and so on. The transformer you need for strip lighting depends on multiple factors, such as the length of strip, watts per chip and total wattage. LED strip lighting comes with either small LED chips or larger LED chips, as well as a variety of sizes ranging from 1m to 5m. Small LED strip light chips are marked “3528” and measure 3.5mm x 2.8mm, while large LED strip light chips are marked “5050” and measure 5mm x 5mm. Larger 5050 chips are brighter per metre than small 3528 chips. To calculate the total wattage of the LED strip you wish to power you have to do one of these simple sums: • 60 small LED chips: calculate 5 watts per metre • 120 small LED chips: calculate 10 watts per metre • 60 large LED chips: calculate 15 watts per metre You then need to add another 20% to avoid potential overload on the transformer. rememberong all the time that SMPS ( aka "electronic transformers" ) described as having an AC output maybe producing AC at a frequency much higher than 50 Hz.

Another point worth noting… many spots produce ‘torch beams’ dark/light areas that are awful in kitchens. I’ve found that the smd LED versions give much better light spread.

All mains powered LED bulbs require a transformer. Depending on the bulb type, the transformer/driver may be built in to the bulb casing or may be located externally. The purpose of the transformer is to reduce mains voltage (240V) to the desired level relative to the bulb being powered (e.g. 12V or 24V). Switching to LED - which bulbs require a transformer? Three LED lights from different manufacturers were tested on each transformer including a Brightgreen DR450 7W Quartz bulbs don't care AC or DC 50 Hz or kHz, however with kHz supply often a limit to length of cable to ensure it does not become a radio transmitter, and fitting any diode in the circuit is also likely to cause it to turn into a transmitter.

similar responses to identical loads. Both transformers specify a minimum load requirement of 0.1 A. Note 1:- MR16 means multifaceted reflector 16/8th inch across, so GU10 tungsten are MR16 lamps, most LED lamps are not MR16 as they don't have the reflector. We should call them MR16 compatible.Thank you for the explanation, I was thinking of buying some GU10 to MR16 adapters but after reading this I realized that they would not work unless I changed the voltage and that’s just too much work, thank you If you want to upgrade these older bulbs to MR16 smart light bulbs, Philips Hue has the answer. The new MR16 smart bulb is the ideal solution for your existing MR16 fittings. They work on the same 12 V low voltage as standard MR16 bulbs — so you won’t have to remove or replace your existing transformer. You can see which transformers Philips Hue smart MR16 bulbs are compatible with here.
