Downlighters, baffled

Actually, depending on the transformers, they might not be suitable for LEDs.

I bought some similar for the bathroom, but by the time I got to fit them (long story) I decided to buy LED lamps. When I wired them up they wouldn't light.

A bit of Internet research suggested that it was because there was insufficient current draw from the LEDs. I ended up with 5 spare transformers, as one of mine is suitable for all 6 LED lamps and they can't be used individually.

The new LED lamps come with the transformer as part of the bulb. Very neat.
 
Bottled it for now and bought a transformer from Screwfix. All is good again. Next time one goes I'll probably get a sparky in to swap the lot to 240V LEDs
