Hi, I was hoping for some advice on replacements for the spotlights in our kitchen.
There are currently over a dozen (!), spotlights in the kitchen- all halogen. Many of them have died now, and I’m obviously looking to replace them all with suitable LED replacements, but I’m not sure a) what the suitable equivalent will be and b) whether I will need additional transformers for the new LED’s.
Having already removed some of the old bulbs, I can see in the cavity what seems to be a transformer of some kind already in there. From the picture I managed to take, it appears to be a Kingsway KLD060S MR16 transformer (dimmable), for low voltage halogen bulbs.
Is it likely that this transformer is serving all the dozen or so lights in series, or should I expect to see other transformers in the cavity? I can’t see any other transformers in the other few holes I’ve removed the old bulbs, but having not yet removed all of the bulbs, it could be possible?
I basically would like to know if I can just swap all the old bulbs out like-for-like for new LED’s, or is there more to it than this, and I need to be calling the electrician?
I've attached the pictures I've managed to take, along with a web image of the transformer I believe is present.
Many thanks!
