Is it a bird or is it a plane? No it's LED-Man here to answer all your big questions from the week. Q. Why is light being cut off in my GU10 fitting in my bathroom? A. The reason why you are experiencing this problem is because you are using the 4 watt GU10 bulb with the wide beam angle (120degree). Your bathroom fittings has extra glass making it water proof allowing it to be used in a bathroom meaning the bulb is slightly more set back into the fitting. To stop the light which is given out being cut off by the fittings surrounding the bulb you should use a bulb with a narrow beam angle (45 degree) such as the 3 watt GU10 bulb shown in the following links:
3w GU10 Spotlight
6w GU10 LED Narrow Beam
Q What 12v bulbs can I use with a battery A. The 12v MR16 bulbs can be used with AC or DC and they require a constant voltage of 12v. If you wish to use the 12v bulbs with your battery which can vary you will need to purchase a 12v voltage regulator. Q.My transformer is not compatible what should I do? A.Please remember that your existing transformers may not be LED compatible. If you use transformers which are not LED compatible you may notice the bulbs flickering or buzzing, in some more extreme cases they may blow the bulbs. If this is the case you will need to replace the transformers with LED drivers.
