Currently use MR16 Halogen bulbs with the same pin connectors - do we have to change the light fixture to use the LED bulbs or can we just plug in?

You can use the same connectors, but be aware, that these are 3 LEDs and are equivalent to a 35 watt bulb, not a 50 watt bulb. The bulbs work well, but don't expect them to be very bright. I returned my order because they were not bright enough. If you need 50 watt lighting, I would suggest looking on Amazon for other models with 4 LEDS which are more like a 50 watt bulb.

You can just plug in. I changed my entire ceiling light bulbs with LED ONES.

I second this answer:"No, they have the pin connectors. You could find one at a hardware store, but a little mods (sanding some of the plastic on bulb) may be nessesary. The bulb included is very good though."Sebbya answered on October 24, 2013

MR-16s are a 12 volt bulb so this transformer is required. Your contractor could have kept your halogens but opted to give you more efficient LED bulbs. This is an upgrade, and a good one if you use the lights a lot. LEDs like constant current typically around 350mA from an LED driver, but I'm not sure if the MR-16s have something to compensate for it as this would be the typical installation.

They may make a variety of connectors but the one I bought is a ceramic disc with holes for two pins and wiring leads for a landscape type fixture. The bulb I use is a MR16. There is also a notation for GU5.3 on the bulb package. I don't know what it means.

I have 2 LED bulbs connected. You are only limited by the rated wattage - just be sure to not exceed it and you'll be fine.

Hello,all you need to do is find you bulb code, and you can usually find LED's of that code. So no they are plug'n play.Thanks,Clint

Yes, Gelcys, the fixture comes with a 50-watt Halogen bulb installed. The general nomenclature for the bulb is "MR-16". When I bought a set of these Malibu fixtures, I changed out the bulbs for 4-watt LED bulbs of the same MR-16 configuration. The LEDs run cooler and, some say, last longer. The light output is the same as far as I can tell. Also, the use of LEDs allows you to use a safer low-voltage transformer to power them.

There are LED bulbs available that are the same size/shape as the recommended halogen bulbs. Search Amazon for "PAR20 LED bulb".

I'm fairly certain these have the same pin dimensions but you need to be certain that your fixture is 12v and not 120v.The light quality is a diffused and somewhat cold color temperature.

Correct. Incandescent sockets are compatible. Just look the model type up to know what size bulb you need. 95% of my lights are now LEDs.

Yes you can replace the bulbs with LEDs. I bought the 10 pack of 4watt LED. The work great.

The bulb actually sit infront of the trim, you can change the bulb without removing the trim ring, so yes you can use an LED bulb without sny problems.

If you are changing from florescent to LED tub you only need to change the wire connection by disconnecting the transformer. The LED tubs coms with instruction how to rewire them. It is very easy to change over to LED. Thy work pretty good, no buzzing. So far they work well only time will tell how long they lest. I am happy with mine LED lights.

The high/low bulbs can be changer. The led and halo last as long as they last. Which should be a long time.

Nope. The LED's require a special driver that is built into the base. You might be able to find LED style replacements for the halogens though.

Yes, u woyld check what the nax bulb require for the fixture, then convert to LED.Hope this helps

It has the same bulb connection and bulbs already installed. I just pulled my old and replace with these. Definitely worth it.
