| | |  | | | Question: Is it true that existing transformers installed on traditional ceiling spotlights will not work if the lamps are changed to LEDs. I have been told this is because of LEDs calling for too little current (3W rather than the 35W - 50W) consumed by the original spotlights. If this is true, can we be sure we are being eco-friendly and green by removal if the existing (perfectly good) transformers and wiring, to replace it with an LED system? |  | | | | | |  | | | VoltiBULLETIN - October 2009 - relating to incandescent lamp replacement has been been certified as suitable for CPD purposes by the Construction CPD Certification Service. . |  | | | | | |
