LOWENERGIE LED Driver Power Supply 12W 240V AC to 12V DC Transformer for LED Strips, LED Bulbs & Doorbell Systems (1)

Replacing 15 MR-16 halogen lights with LED bulbs in the same fittings. the original driver PSU's struggled with the lower wattage LED bulbs and would flicker and buzz (common issue, older drivers for Halogen need a bigger load than the LED's provide in order to have a stable output). As an ex-electronics engineer I wanted to check the design and quality of these before putting them in the ceiling as there are a lot of cheap and nasty (and potentially dangerous) import units on the market. So couldn't resist looking inside one before installation. Got to say I'm pretty impressed, the nice little switchmode PSU, circuit is well laid out with an internal (non replaceable) fuse and a fair bit of filtering, proper primary-secondary isolation and capacitors that are higher temp rated. Overall looks like a well designed and good quality product for the price. My only criticism is minor, the screw terminals are very small so you will struggle if your lighting wiring needs several units in parallel or (as suggested in the description) you want to wire several LED fittings to the same driver module ( I didn’t do this, the modules are cheap enough that I decided to keep the original setup in my house of one driver/transformer per fitting and in some areas I want to use 6.5w LED bulbs anyway) Needless to say they work well and the flickering and buzzing of my LED bulbs is completely eliminated. Should last a long time going by the design. Now I’m satisfied with the lights in the kitchen I’ll be ordering 10 more to do the hallway and main bathroom. Well worth the effort, as I’ll be replacing 750W of lighting with less than 100W and the result will be brighter and more reliable.

I bought 3 of these initially to see how long they last. After moving into a new house with 27 downlights, I wanted to change from halogen bulbs to LED. The first set I bought have lasted over a year, so I thought I'd start to replace the others in my house. Great price, they do the job perfectly, the only thing to be aware of is, they do not come pre-wired, so therefore you need to spend a bit of time preparing before you install them.......I only need another 18!

No buzzing noice and easy to install and am happy with the fact that it does work on a 2.9W and maybe it is just an incompatibility thing with the 5W I have from Screwfix. Other reviews seemed to indicate it would be ok for 5W LED bulbs, maybe they are better bulbs in some way. Don't feel like I can complain given the price of these things and I am happy with the brightness of the 2.9W anyway. I may try other 5W bulbs over time to see if that changes matters.....

Bought these to replace all 6 in my kitchen as they had started to flicker the bulbs and cause problems. All 6 worked after installation, which was fairly easy. The units are quite small so went straight up through the downlighter hole without having to remove the fitting. The only slight problem I had was that the 12v side connection holes are very small, even with the screw fully undone. The screws are designed to not drop out when undone which is great, but the cable holes were quite tight for the lampholder wires (MR10). I used a pair of pliers to squash the lampholder connectors slightly and in they went. Longevity is unknown but they have worked for their first week. Drivers in my experience have a lifetime of 2-4 years before they start to cause problems so hopefully these will make that ok. For this price a good buy I'd say.

Great product , no more difficult to wire in than a plug - had my bathroom, kitchen & dining room done in 2 hours with only basic tools and basic knowledge . Only given 3 stars for longevity as I only fitted them a month ago so can’t honestly say . Results are great , the rooms are so much brighter and, weirdly, more modern looking ! Also cheaper on the electric bills than the old halogen ones . Would totally recommend

I needed a low cost 12V supply to build into a project, I had loads lying around but all of the "wall wart" moulded into a plug type rather than cable entry for the mains. This little unit fitted the bill perfectly, screwing to the side wall of the box, it takes up hardly any room and has a cover for the live terminals. It powers an Arduino microcontroller via the latter's internal regulator. Output measures 12.1V. The terminals are clearly marked L/N and +/-

Great price. Works well. Quick delivery. Plastic maybe not the best quality but dosent matter but not seen when fitted. I would buy again.

I bought these to upgrade the drivers for under-cabinet lights in the kitchen. I changed the bulbs from halogen to LED but the drivers weren't LED rated so the bulbs either flashed constantly or didn't come on. Should have checked first. Simple job to remove the old, install the new, and no more flickering :)
