I have just checked my transformers and they say 20 - 60 W/VA so looks like these won't work. Thanks for the tip everyone will know source a GU10 lead and hopefully the bulb diameter is the same and I can reuse the fitting.


Depending on your fittings the problem of making the GU holder fit is
just down to pot look. Sometimes they are dome shaped, sometimes they
are flat.I had to try a few wholesalers last time before I got one that
fitted.

Thanks Adam. The fitting itself is one of these.

the front screws off and inside is an MR16 fitting (like this https://www.toolstation.com/spare-lampholder/p99286) with the bulb itself clipped onto the ring I took off the front. My thinking was to replace the MR16 lamp holder with a GU10 one and wire it and the mains into the junction box at the top (may need a bigger junction box though as holes are small). Does this seem viable?


Yes it's just a matter of getting hold of GU10 lamp holders that will
fit inside the lamp. Often the GU10 holders are domed and a bit taller.

These are smaller than the TS ones if you have problems

Once you have found one that fits you are sorted.

Another option to the replacing the JB is just to use the black choc box
on the actual fitting and join the GU10 lamp holder to the 230V
transformer fly lead (yes just chop off the transformer).
