Hello forum, there are halogen spots in the ceiling of the new house. The entire wiring is not visible. However, behind each spot is a transformer (see picture). Two cables each enter the ceiling as N and L - on the other side the spot is connected. If I now want to replace the halogen spots with LED spots, what would I have to do? Is it even possible if you only see the cables at the holes or could there be additional electrical installations behind the suspended ceiling that you should be aware of? Can you simply take 220V LEDs with the same socket and connect them directly to the cables from the wall?

Thanks and regards Ashley

In principle, yes. If you have a dimmer, it might not work. Then check if the dimmer is suitable for LEDs.

No, you cannot. First, you should know what the output voltage of the transformer is. Maybe this is apparent from the missing picture, but as it stands, it cannot be answered.

...the picture is attached, right?

On the transformer it says: Input: 230 +- 10% Frequency: 50 Hz and on the other side Output: 11.8V Resistive Load

Presumably either 220V without transformers or 12V with transformer.

No guarantee and only after confirmation by an electrician.

It is supposed to be connected without a transformer, right?
