And I want to replace them with Some MR11 and MR16 LED's .


Some are on a dimmable switch and I have been reading about the type of switch and LED bulbs . About trailing edge etc. And buying dimmable LEDs to use on normal dimmer switches.


Now I saw this in a cupboard of mine when I moved into the house not sure if they are fitted or spare or where they would be if they were fitted.


Some advice needed I think ...

Can LEDs be used as replacements to halogen spot lights, some on dimmers some on normal switches?

I am a n00b when it comes to lighting etc....
 
My advice, to keep things simple and cost effective would be to replace the MR16 lamps with LED MR16 and remove the dimmer switch and replace with standard on/off switch. You can get MR16 lamps that run straight of 12v electronic 12v transformers, I get them from a company and they work well, nice and bright(not sure if I can name the company here though)!!!!
