    You could simply use mains voltage LEDs. This will save you a lot of hassle. Less components, less connections = less to go wrong.
    Check out the Philips range and see the LED sticky above.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the response but i already have the old transformers in place so it is just a matter of swapping these out. I have also purchased the LED's.
    Basically what i am asking is will these transformers work with 4w LED?

    Honestly your best bet is to cut off the transformer and put a gu10 fitting in its place. What you have is mr16 fitting.

    He means use mains voltage LEDs so that you don't need LED drivers.
    I agree.

    Yes they should work. If you look at the Amazon page for the LED lamp that's the recommended traffo.

    However I agree with the above.

    Would be better buying GU10 led lamps, gu 10 holders and scrap the traffos
