MR16 in GU10 Spotlight?

[ake]

I think he just asked a simple question that someone on eBay makes an adaptor to take the 230v down to 12, what do we think of them. Short answer we don't know. I wouldn't bother trying to adapt a gu10 fitting to put cheap led bulbs (Americans still refer to them as), in.

Just spend the right amount of money and buy a proper led unit, that will be it for 20 years. Chances are the adaptor will fail before the bulb or fitting, so waste of money.

Good answer.

We were taught that bulbs were planted and grew into flowers, lamps were fitted in lights!

Testing my GU10's

These MR16 are LEDs!!! On what basis are you saying these or the adpators will fail prematurely? Have you seen how many of these SMDs sell on ebay? They are great little bulbs.

My main query was over the asthetics of fitting these 12v bulbs in a 240v lamp reflector using a convertor, seeing as there is almost no reflectors to take these bulbs - other than the flush downlighters.
And has anyone found a lamp that will take these bulbs. Not that difficult to understand..

If you don't understand the question or don't actually know the answer, its probably best not to comment.

The whole point of the MR16 and GU10 lamps was that they require no reflector because it is part of the lamp. Decent led equivalents should work just as well without a reflector.
