I have fixtures which use "MR16-130-50w", can I use these if I have my present dimmers switched out for "electronic dimmers" I need transformer 2?

I believe that the "MR16-130-50W" is a bulb rated for 130-volt power. The Torchstar LED MR-16 is a bulb designed for a 12-volt lighting system - you would have to use a transformer to provide the correct power to these bulbs if your power source is 130 volts. Also, check the photo of the Torchstar bulb, it has two prongs that project into the base - these prongs are straight pins - make sure that this shape fits properly into your fixtures. I hope that this helps.

I am not sure about that but I would not buy LED bulbs from Torchstar. I purchased 10 of these last year and within 9 months 7 had burned out. Torchstar Told me they would replace them if I paid for shipping the broken bulbs back and there was no warranty on replacement bulbs. Their lightbulbs are poor quality and their customer service is worse!

You have to make sure you use the right voltage. I believe your "MR16-130-50w" is a 130V (Volt) bulb. This Torchstar LED is a 12V (Volt) bulb and that will not work in a 130V application. The transformer is the part that takes regular household voltage 120V down to 12V.

I have used led bulbs in fixtures with dimmers and did change anything with the hardware. I DID HOWEVER make sure that the bulbs were listed as dimmable before i installed them and i have had no problems at all.

I am not sure about these specific bulbs, but I used LED bulbs in an electronic dimmer before and there seemed to be a trickle of current going through the electronic dimmer that made it look like a lightning show. this was in a bedroom, so the dark room probably exaggerated the effect.

I doubt it. The LED bulbs I used had a phone number to call and ask them what dimmers would work. It seems any and all LED lights must be matched to specific dimmers.

they won't work because your transformer has to have some minimal load to work properly, when you installed ONLY led bulbs load of those led bulbs is probably to small so the transformer doesn't work.I Suggest to install 3 of incadescent and 3 of led and then it should work. you can also try 2 of incadescent and 4 led etc.

The package came with a three level dimmer control that I did not need - my interest was only in the transformer. I would think that this three level dimmer could be used as a substitute ; the compatibility of the connector would be the only matter to investigate,

One of them is dimmable. You could choose "Dimmable 5W AC 100V-130V"(ASIN: B00UL3HP68), and please note that it only can work in 100V-130V systems :)

Yes, if you use the correct dimmer and the correct bulb. The fixture itself is line voltage.

Check the specs on dimmer...I know for sure it will dim a magnetic transformer as I have it in my house for lv potlights

The two may not be compatible. LED dimmers must be matched to the LED light, or vice versa. Look for a phone number on the LED light or the dimmer package and give them a call. They gave me a web page to look at that had compatible dimmers.

Per the LED Wholesalers website, these are equivalent to 45-50 watt light bulbs so it would be the same as using a lower watt light bulb in your fixture so it will be alright. Per the product specification it states these are not dimmable and from my experience I would not use on a dimmer circuit since it will drastically shorten the life of the bulb since the circuitry is not designed for this application, also will void the warranty of the bulb.

You have it backwards. This adapter is to use euro-size E14 bulbs in US fixtures with size E12 sockets.

I do not believe that to be possible. If your service is 220V/1 phase you have many options and should be able to find the equivalent bulb for your specific voltage. Carefully inspect the "Specifications" portion of the advertisement for the proper voltages. Although E27 and E26 screw-in bases are compatible the 110V and 220V voltages are not.

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.

These are 12V (probably AC only)If you will have transformer to 12V they will work technically. If you have an isntallation with multiple MR16s and you would like to change it to LED I would recommend to change the transformer to LED version. Otherwise it may not work or if it will work you will decrese the lifespan of the bulb (I work for LED manuacturing company in EU)

I can not say. I assume that if the manufacture of the light fixture recommends MR16 lights, then there would be no problems. I would suggest checking your users manual/information. However, they may have a limit on the bulb wattage. Hope this helps...

You can do it both ways, I do it on the 120VAC side because the dimmers are good quality and fit in a standard electrical box ,a lot of the low voltage dimmers are different and wont fit in the box , I have done many installations and I use this dimmer http://www.homedepot.com/p/Lutron-Toggler-600-Watt-Single-Pole-3-Way-Eco-dim-Dimmer-White-TG-603PGH-WH/100663449?N=c34i#.Uo_ntWTF36A

It is a magnetic low voltage dimmer for use with magnetic transformers. I am using it for in-ceiling halogen lighting. It should not be used for electronic low voltage transformers (I have some of these powering LED strip lighting). Check your transformer. This is also a Maestro Wireless dimmer which can be controlled by an external remote (such as a pico remote). If you don't need this functionality - use a MALV-600 - which is about $30 cheaper.

They are dimmable, but they run at 12 volts. If your transformer is a 12 volt unit designed for MR16 lights, then it will work.
