Hi guys.
I'm trying to convert my old halogen lights to LED.
The question is, can I just swap out the transformer from the existing circuit for one that is suitable for the leds?
The Main light has 5x 12vac 10W halogen bulbs and I will be swapping with 5x 12vac 6W LED's. The power supply is 35W-105W.
The Table light has 3x 12vac 10W halogens and swapping for DIMMABLE 12vac 6W LED's. The power supply is 20W-60W.
The Corner Light has the same number of bulbs as the main light but are DIMMABLE the same as the table light. The power supply is 50W-150W.
All lights are in parallel setup.
If I read correctly in an article about parallel lighting, I will need to add together the wattage per bulb to get the correct wattage transformer? e.g 5x6W = a 30W transformer?
I have a background in electrical work but when it comes to the electronics side of thinks I get a little lost.
Hopefully, all this makes sense and you can understand what I am trying to get across.
Many Thanks,
Mike.
