[QUOTE="hairybadger, post: 960623, member: 389459"] You might find the guarantee for the LEDs says something like "you must use a transformer designed for LED lighting" or somesuch. When I replaced all our halogens with the LED equivalent I changed the existing transformers with LED-compatible units as I understood was necessary, or at least a good idea. In 3 years one of the eight bulbs has failed, but that was after only a few weeks so was a faulty unit. They were pretty cheap so I didn't bother sending it back :) (plus I'd been sent an extra one that I hadn't paid for by mistake so I just swapped in the spare) [/QUOTE]
