You could go for a downlight geared towards safety with fire rated protection included – like our Fire Rated Downlight GU10 Fixed Chrome– which helps prevent the spread of fire between floors.

Afterwards, you need to use a screwdriver to loosen all the screws holding the fitting in place. Using the wires as a guide, locate the transformer (it is usually above the light fitting). You can also find it in your attic. Beam Angle: Standard Optics: 30.9°, Medium Filter: 40.4°, Medium Filter With Honeycomb: 33.6°, Wide Filter: 41.8°, Wide Filter With Honeycomb: 34.2°

Add Some Fun With RGB E27s

Efficacy At Full: Standard Optics: 32 lm / W, Medium Filter: 23 lm / W, Medium Filter With Honeycomb: 12 lm / W, Wide Filter: 22 lm / W, Wide Filter With Honeycomb: 10 lm / W More people are deciding to implement LED downlights in their homes. This is due to the fact that they are energy efficient. They conserve energy and can produce more light compared to halogen counterparts. MR16 bulbs usually use 5-6watts of power, which is below the minimum load of a transformer so you would most likely have no problems.

You needn’t look far if you’re after some LED Downlights – we’ve got everything you could want in our highly extensive range! MR11 LEDs are smaller than MR16 meaning they are not as bright but allow them to be fitted into smaller downlights. An MR11 has a diameter of 35mm compared with the 50mm diameter of the MR16. The advantage of the MR11 is that they allow for smaller, less obtrusive holes to be cut into a ceiling. Field Angle: Standard Optics: 59.7°, Medium Filter: 81.7°, Medium Filter With Honeycomb: 63.9°, Wide Filter: 105.5°, Wide Filter With Honeycomb: 64.3° If you’re changing from one LED lightbulb to another, you may have fewer problems because they emit less heat. MR16 LEDs operate on a lower voltage of 12 volts compared with the more popular mains, 230 volt GU10 LED cap type. This lower voltage requirement can either be 12V AC (Alternating Current) or 12V DC (Direct Current). If the voltage is AC, they are designed to work with existing low voltage halogen transformers. If they are DC you'll need an LED driver.If you find a range of numbers, say, for example, 30-50VA. The 30 is the minimum load rating, while the 50 is the maximum load rating. The total power consumption of your new bulb must be within this range.
