LED Downlights Set Up Instructions

LED downlights are often as easy to install as any standard incandescent light bulb. Most applications involve plugging them into an outlet that runs off your mains Alternating Current (AC 110-230V) and due to the fact that top notch LED lights have their own built-in transformers, it's a plug and play, DIY setting that can be easily and immediately achieved without the need of transformers on any downlight, which is often the disturbing case when running halogens. But, it is very important to note that there are a few events that require a bit more tinkering in order that your LED Downlights work on best level and don't get damaged in the process.

Two crucial considerations to bear in mind when installing your LED lights is whether your downlights will be having off a Direct Current (DC 12V) assembly or whether you use a dimmable option. In both cases, it is extremely important to ensure that you have the appropriate hardware setup so that your LED Downlights can really shine their best for a longer duration of their running lives.

Initially, if you are thinking to run your downlights off a 12V DC system, you'll have to purchase MR16 (plug type) downlights and have the best transformer mounted. The Magnetic Transformer is the most frequently used power modulating device for many homes and businesses. The transformer type must optimally run your LED lights. Luckily they are very cheap and you can find them at any electrical shop. If you've got one, then terrific - again it's a straightforward plug and play device. However, LED Downlights will NOT work with an Electronic Transformer (or better known in the technical field as "Switch Mode Power Supply"). So, best choice is to get your responsive neighborhood Sparky (electrician) to come in and have a look and discover as he will be able to identify, source and replace that required transformer.

It's worth citing that you should not run a combination of different lighting innovations on the same 12V circuit as you may suffer from a drop in illumination of your LED Downlights or they may not start up at all. Having a 12V process it is either all LEDs or all Halogens.

More over, if you want to be qualified to dim your led lights, then you need to purchase a dimmable LED Downlight option and have the right dimmer switch mounted. A Bell-Push Dimmer Switch is the the best device used for keeping the increase or decrease of electrical power to your dimmable LED Downlights and should be made available to you by your dimmable LED supplier when you purchase. LED lights will NOT run well (or NOT at all sometimes) with the old styled Push-Button dimmer turns. Again, like the Magnetic Transformer, a Bell-Push Dimmer press button is also crucial and comparatively inexpensive to purchase.

So, if you require a 12V LED Downlight or a dimmable option (either on AC or DC currents) you might need to ensure you have a Magnetic Transformer in position or a Bell Push Dimmer Switch installed appropriately. This will ensure that your LED lights runs a 100% efficiency and live out their unbelievably long lives without any subsequent hassles. Be sure to comply with the LED Downlights Installation guidelines as provided by your LED Lighting supplier and get help from a trained electrician, as it is important to complete the installation securely and right the first time around.
