You need to make sure that the minimum load on the transformers is met

While on about GU10s and MR16s ... is either one looking favourite to be
the long term choice for LED, or are both likely to exist for ages?

Obviously with GU10 LEDs you've not got to have transformers/drivers, but
are the drivers crammed into the base likely to overheat and fail quickly?
MR16s obviously need a separate driver but that can live anywhere above
the ceiling ... and be replaced separately from the lamps if necessary.


That is a very good question.

My prediction (based on what I and others are fitting most of the time) is
that both will keep going for ages but GU10s will be be the most popular
choice of installation (I did fit two MR16 LEDs today but that is rare)

It would be good to see some figures that show the true lifespan and costs
of both installations.
