Replacing Halogen Downlighters with LED Strips
Options

Hi all
I have some 12v under cabinet halogen downlighters that I'm forever changing bulbs in
I want to change them for an LED strip. What I want to know is can I use the Ansell ATX 20/60 12v Transformers that are already there, or will I have to buy a new one(s)?
Any guidance gratefully received
Thanks

Chances are you will need to use a LED drive too
You can retro fit LED bulbs into the existing housing. Ansell also do some smart LED under cabinet lighting downlightsHi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure0 -
LED strips need a DC supply. Your Ansell unit is probably just a transformer, so it's AC and not suitable.0
