[QUOTE="axumazza, post: 523059, member: 34542"] Well, what can i say, thanks so much for the in-depth response. So, to summarise, GU10 (and any bulbs that have in-built transformers) are fine as straight swaps (taking all the normal precautions). The setup i currently have is fine, there's no problem with it as such, but the LEDs may well not last as long.....which I guess partially defeats the object (along with their reduced power consumption). So, ideally, i would transform all fittings to GU10, second best would be to get LED Drivers. The problem i have is that i have roughly 50 of these MR16 downlights in the house!! [/QUOTE]
