Hello everyone..
I have a customer who has 5 x 12v downlight fittings that they want installing. I have explained that 230V GU10's would be much better but they are adamant they want these specific MR16 holders.
I have replaced LED drivers before but never actually installed from scratch. With halogen MR16's I use a separate transformer for each light. My question is can I use a 30W constant voltage LED driver for all 5 of the LED downlights (lets assume they are 5w each) or would it be better to fit individual LED drivers for each light?
Cost is a factor and 1 x 30W is cheaper than 5 individual LED drivers. However, if the 30W driver becomes faulty then all lights stop!
Thanks.
