Hi there,
I was going to remove the dimmer and transformator from my halogen lamp so I could use it with LED bulbs (not dimmable). However, when I opened the little electronics box I overwhelmed.

I would appreciate some advice as to how to proceed with my plans.
The lamp holds 2 separately working bulbs.

Thank you very much!

It's almost certain that the dimmer will not work on LED lamps. Firstly it's unlikely the LED lamps will be compatible with the dimmer output and secondly it's doubtful that the dimmer will give a stable output at the much lower current that LED lamps draw.
