      that review isn't for this particular light. you'll notice the colour temperature is wrong and the actual product reviewed includes the name "master" whereas the bunnings one doesn't

  • I price matched in Bunnings during the buy 2 get 1 free deal. I got them for $18 each.

  • Would I be able to replace my existing halogen down lights with one of these without replacing the transformers?

      Yep as long as you either have iron core transformers, or connect a few of the 12V wires to one electronic transformer. Reason is the electronic ones usually have a minimum wattage to drive before it turns on (printed on it).

      • Thanks for explaining that Robbie, I was not aware of that :-)

      • Usually about 10w is the minimum rated (thats what mine are stamped with, but they run 5w globes ok).

        Since there is a bit of power loss in the conversion, ideally you'd want to run 6 to 8 of these 7W LED lights off the one transformer, rather than individually. Either that or use smaller more efficient transformers.

    • I ran a 4W Philips off an Atco Possum, so they are pretty tolerant to Transformers. Else $9 @ Bunnings for a replacement. Try a single unit first..

          Pointless price comparison then!

  • I am looking to buy some led downlights as well.
    Can somebody post the receipt? so I can price match. Thanks a lot.

      Pricematch the Pricematch?

  • Can't find Philips mr16 from Masters website, are you buying from the shop or online?

  • They're only available in store. Pop into Masters and show them the Bunnings website, they will beat it by 10%. Combine it with 15% voucher if you have it.

  • Thank you thank you thank you so so so much
    for getting me onto these LEDs, they are awesome!
    I replaced a couple of 5w Aldi ones (one had failed) and I can finally see in my fken bedroom!
    Although it says cool white, it is more like daylight, quite a nice colour. Nicer than the orange halogens and brighter too! (most likely 35w halogens I think)

    The warm white ones were not available at the Masters I went to (Northland)

    • The Cool White is the Hotter @ 4000K - More a clinical/daylight colour

  • I have one question regarding the swapping of halogens with LED downlights relating to compatibility of existing transformer.

    If I install the LED and it works without flickering or explosions, does that mean it is definitely compatible? Or is there a grey area where they might work perfectly for a few months and then stop working?

    I ask this as I previously had a 5w Aldi LED downlight that went out after ~6 months whilst the other is still working.

      I think it's just the Aldi LED are crap.

      If the transformer can drive the smaller load, you should be OK.
