First a little history:
In the kitchen we had Nine 12v 20w downlights powered by two small mains transformers with 12v outputs
One transformer powered five of them, the other 4 of them.
A few years ago, (with a bit of fiddling) I was able to remove the actual 12v 20w bulbs and replace them with these LED replacements:
Amazon product ASIN B01HPO766O
All seemed fine at 1st but had some LED flickering keep appearing at times, may be some incompatibility or just age as the transformers are about 20 years old albeit as they are only secondary lighting they got used very very rarely.
Anyway. I need to replace the transformers I feel, and perhaps as I'm driving Nine 3w LED's now (27w total) as opposed to Nine 20w halogens (180w total) just one replacement transformer will do the job.
Now, I see online there are things called constant voltage drivers:
And talk about what type of 12v Transformer should be used on the lights (Amazon link above) I should select.
Advice most welcome as I don't wish to buy the wrong type, meant for 12v halogen as opposed to my 12v LED lights.
Thanks
