MR16 replacement not working

[Ratchete]

Try fitting just 1 halogen MR16 and put LEDs in the rest, you may find it works and if it does then you will be saving some energy costs over all of them being halogen.

Great idea, that sounds logical. Not worried about differences in colour (K) as can put the odd one out in the 'office' (I use that word advisedly it's more like a tip) side of the room where it will look like a deliberate attempt to differentiate the uses of the room.

I've got an MR16 12v fitting (shower light and extractor fan combined), and it has a 3w LED Ice White lamp which works ok, but we want a Warm White lamp. I've tracked down a 3w LED Warm White lamp from Homebase (good on them!), but after fitting the Warm White lamp I get the flashing on/off/on/off, just like I had when I mistakenly used a 4.4w MR16. The Ice White works ok! Any answers please? Thanks. Colin

Sounds like the 12V driver (aka transformer) doesn't like the low wattage of the LED lamp. The other lamp may just have been enough for it. Probably need to replace the driver for one suitable for LED lamps.

I know it's a while but I kept a couple of halogens in the office portion of the room that are a different colour but that's OK, the living/dining part of the room has led's; it's been working just fine ever since. Thanks to everyone.
