Converting your Halogen fixture to LED bulbs?
If you have any of these HALOGEN transformers similar to WAC-Lighting-EN-1260-R-AR, High-Tec Electronic Products TMO60S 120 20-60W E235548 transformer, SL-518, Ortek model CK-1260b-1, Novitronix 9801AR, Wang House Model WH-601E6A-3B, OrTek110v to12v 60W or transformer DR16S and want to move up to a LED bulb in your fixture we recommend this driver / transformer the LED TA60WA12LED. It will help with the flicker problem when using a halogen transformer with a LED Bulb. Also note that if your dimmer has a minimum load requirement it may not perform well. If this happens let us know, you will want to isolate any problems. Your qualified electrician will have no problem with installation.
No-load electronic transformers can only be bench tested with devices capable of measuring at higher frequencies such as a Fluke 289 or better voltage meter. No-load can be measured this way with or without a load on the device.
The reason for this is a lower end meter standard electricians field meter would measure voltage that are DC or < 50-60 Hz only and not this transformer.
Measurements done with a field voltage meter will give an incorrect reading or no reading at all.
Please be aware of this when testing the transformer. The no-load is designed for both LED Loads, and halogen / Incandescent bulbs.
However, for standard halogen lighting loads a no-load transformer is not necessary. Total lighting supply offers a video on testing standard transformers. Request the video and we will send it to you.
No-Load transformers can be full loaded to the load specifications. However we cannot guarantee full load performance if your circuit is not engineered correctly for lighting loads, lamp type or wire gauge and length. Proper project engineering is required or downgrading the load on the transformer may be a option.
Example: With a 300watt transformer, one single run at 300watts may required a #10 gauge wire depending on the distance.
Low voltage wire when used on some loads have voltage loss based on load type, wire size and distance from the transformer.
Splitting the load when available may be a good option as the amperage at full load is very high.
