Will the v LEDs still be more energy efficient? Thanks for your help. What am I doing wrong? Do I need lower watt led bulbs? It sounds like transformer in the fitting may not be suitable for LED — Some transformers are designed to run halogen spotlights and are thus rated for 50W — W for example. As LED lightbulbs use much less power, e. This could be less than the transformer in the fitting is designed for.
You can potentially swap the transformer out, but as this requires an electrician to carry out, it is not cost effective and you may just wish to replace the fitting. Would the existing transformer work with cool white K LEDs? Also I presume a reasonably competent non-qualified person can … Read more ».
Hi Rakesh, So that specific transformer is rated to work between 50W and W — this means that the minimum load that needs to be used is 50W, and the maximum load is W. As a typical LED MR16 spot light bulb is only 5W, then three of these will equal a load of 15W which is outside the scope of the rating of the transformer. I am afraid that this could cause problems such as flickering as the transformer needs a minimum load of 50W.
I have 9no. Mr16 halogen Spotlights downstairs which say 12v 35w on them. I now have 8no. Any advice? Hi Will, the most likely source of the issue will be a compatibility problem with the 12V transformer that resides in your fitting. If the transformer was designed to work with halogen lightbulbs then it may have an issue in providing the lower power supply that LED bulbs require. We have found that some transformers are rated for use between W to W for example, so where W is fine for halogen equates to 3x 35W halogen this figure is not met with 8x 3W LED light bulbs 24W … Read more ».
You can possibly get a qualified electrician to remove the transformer and MR16 lamp holder and replace with a GU10 V lamp holder , this will allow you to use V LED GU10 light bulbs — but this is dependent on the fitting and how accessible it is to modify.
We must stress that we would only recommend a qualified electrician to modify any fitting. I am changing the halogen lights in my kitchen for led lights, each light has its own transformer and I have bought some led transformers to replace the existing ones. I have doubled checked that I have wired the new transformer correctly but the bulb flickers with very little light. I have contacted the seller and he says that the bulbs I am using are the problem.
Do you know what the minimum rating of the new transformer is? It could be that it is from 10W to W for example, in which case a 5W MR16 is below the minimum rating. There is a transformer to each light fitting. I have attached a picture of the transformer and wonder if I can use LEDs with it. Any help anyone can give me would be most appreciated. 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.
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. We would advise you swap out the transformer for one an LED compatible transformer. No, GU5. You can, however, swap out the GU5. How easy this is with your fitting, we cannot answer. Hi, I have 17 low voltage halogens bulbs in my kitchen, Each has its own transformer and the three circuits are controlled by dimmer switches.
Dimming LED bulbs gives you the same kind of flexibility and control you can expect from your incandescent bulbs. With so many improvements to this technology, it has become easier to find an appropriate energy-efficient replacement to work with your dimming system.
You will save more energy and find a large reduction in your electrical bill while still getting the amount of light that you need with dimmable LEDs. Customers also use these dimmers for track lighting--where desirable ambient light levels are needed but where a dimmed light setting is also desirable.
MR16 lamps contain engineered surfaces that control the beam of light to a precise angle. There are seven different classifications of these angles.
Very Narrow Spot is at 7 degrees or less and casts an intense, focused beam. As I was writing this guide, I realized that I needed to lay bare minimum basics to strengthen the electrical understanding of LED circuits before introducing the project itself.
And it is before you. It is important! Responsibility for the actual operation. When I was working on the article and the guide, I didn't even think about the possibility of using a switched-mode power supply see "Efficiency" in the comments below.
After a short research on the matter, I decided in the near future to try this approach too, and tell you what came out. What is LED A light-emitting diode LED is an electrical component that allows the flow of electrons in an electric circuit in only one direction, and the semiconductor material composition of which the light-emitting diode hereinafter, LED allows the emission of light as the current passes through it for further reading.
LED Today, the LED can be found on almost any self-respecting electronic device at least as an indicator light indicating the working condition of the device , especially on screens from huge televisions to wristwatches , traffic lights, streetlights and cars, headlights, and many other products. As an electronic component that can be purchased in a single unit, we can find LEDs in dozens and perhaps hundreds of different types.
The simplest consists of a material that looks plastic in the form of a rounded cylinder at one end the light itself , and has "two legs" the thin. By default, the longer leg is the positive leg.
Why LED? Some of them I detailed in the article "LED it be". While not all details are accurate in this table, it does give some idea. Why not just buy? The ready-made LED lights and stripes are simply expensive. With little learning and work we can make LED lighting fixtures ourselves. Another way of saying this is that commercial LEDs are simply a box that aesthetically and hermetically closed components that we have access to - power sources, resistors, LEDs, and if we really want to be fancy cases, even heat sinks and even a small fan.
The bulbs we make, if we invest enough, will not be significantly different from the LED bulbs we buy in the store. Electricity on one leg We will not now go over all the theory of electricity in a direct current or at all, in any current , because while we are here for the theory, we are ultimately project oriented. Does not go into theoretical depth just a little, which is impossible without it.
Anyone who doesn't get along and lacks a background is worth completing. A brief flutter can be used in the Joshua Goma electronics course to establish some basic concepts. Direct current electric circuit On one leg as we promised , a direct current electric circuit is a closed circuit that is connected to some source of energy some kind of battery or solar panel, for example and various consumers light bulb, buzzer, resistor, motor, etc.
In each such circle, for our purposes, there are four relevant sizes: Voltage V, Volt - The difference in electrical potential between two points in space.
In the context of a direct current electrical circuit, the "voltage source" is the energy source, the battery. In analogy to water flow as you can see in the animation below the voltage is equal to the difference in heights between the upper and lower tank. Note that animation with low and high "tension" can be played. Current A, Amps - Motion of charged particles between the two points at which the potential difference is measured.
In order to generate a current there is a "close circuit" and for this we need "pipes" or electrical wires in which the current will flow. In the analogy, the current is the rate of the water increasing as we at once raise the pump operation voltage source from low to high.
So, when we say that the bulb has a power of 60w, we mean the amount of energy that the bulb emits in the form of light and heat together, two forms of incandescent light that "generates" or converts electrical energy into them. Attached files. What is LED. I hope my explanation is helpful, Let's start with a statement that may sound surprising, but it makes perfect sense - the voltage level settings vary from one state to another, and as a result, the voltage ranges that meet the "high voltage" and "low voltage" settings differ from one country to another.
The voltage range extending from 1, kV or higher is called "ultra high voltage". In Israel, on the other hand, the Electricity Regulations Licenses , , define as "low voltage" voltage up to 1, volts, "high voltage" is defined as 1, volts or higher, while "upper voltage" is a voltage in operation Exceeds kV33 between conductors. What are the differences between Volt, Watt and Ampere?
