I've got 12 volt halogen spots run from a torriodal transformer - five
units from each transformer. Can I replace these with LCDs or would
this cause problems with under-loading the transformer? I have read
something about having to have one conventional lamp in the circuit
but I don't fancy this as I would rather have them all the same.
Electronic transformers have a minimum load, but a toroidal
transformer probably doesn't. The voltage will be higher, but
an LED probably has a switched-mode PSU inside which will
compensate for this (although there are some cheap ones which
just use a resistor).
