Hi guys, this feels like a bit of a "simple simon" question and despite having fitted hundreds of down lights, don't think I've done this before...
Customer changed existing 12v MR16 lamps for MR 4.5w leds. Didn't change the transformers though and is suffering from the leds flickering when on. She's keen to keep the existing MR leds 'cos "they cost me a fortune".
What I'm unsure of is do I have to put a driver at each downlight or is there a simple way to use one driver of sufficient capacity - a 50w driver would cover the total led load? Alternative is to use new GU10 leds and just change the lampholders and diss the trannies.
Haven't seen how the existing lights are fed/wired. Views?
Thanks
PS no dimmer involved
