LED Lighting

[eco-tech]

Can you use LED MR16 lights in normal low voltage transformer ?

I have a pal who says yes but it will reduce the life time of the lamp. Is this the case ?

 

[telectrix]

don't these LED lamps need drivers?

 

[eco-tech]

just looked at a web site and it says it will half the life of the led ?

Should really be on a LED driver depending upon which way they are wired it can be either constant current or constant voltage typedriver.
