Hi,

You could change them to mains voltage GU10's - the lamps are the same physical size.

Amazing, me and Sintra were just about to say the same thing

Yep, ditto the replies too! Much better solution and less parts to go wrong. Get rid of trannys/drivers and just change the lamp holders. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Yep, I'm in the process of stripping out the 1000s of MR16s we have at work for LED GU10s.
With GU10s there's no concern for the driver and no dubious discussion about how 'crisp' the light output is.

If your changing the lights then I wouldn't bother with MR16, as everyone else says go for GU10 as there are less problems/parts. I use the Aurora 7 w GU10 they do the job. And if your changing the fittings for GU10 the have you thought about the using all in one fittings/fixed LEDs (no bulbs/spots). I use the PIRAN ED LED (made by PhotonStar, britsh company) they are 5.5 watt 36 degree beam angle 511 lumens IP 65 so can go almost any ware. depend on your budget. they are £22.5 each. they are coming out with a dimmable version later this year.

Robus 5W GU10 are what I am using at the moment, top quality light output and dimmable with most existing dimmers and Lutron. What's not to like?

Why would you want 1 driver, so when it fails all the lights go out!
