Replacing halogen bulbs
I have about 80 halogen mr16 downlights raping my electricity bill and I want to replace them.
The two I've had a look at are hardwired to ATCO TM50 transformers (though it's possible the others are different the way the previous owner did things)
I want to go with smart lights (yes I will use the smart features as I have at previous house)
Is my house going to burn down if I replace the bulbs with some cheap Chinese ZigBee bulbs?? And is the transformer still going to use more than 5w for the led bulbs?
I've tried some "dicuno" and "zemismart" bulbs at $15 a pop and work fine. I just can't get over the cheap Chinese factor. Though I am sure they all come from the same factory anyway.
The Phillips hue mr16's are about $70 each...
I am guessing i'd be up for about $50? each to replace the transformers with a plug and maybe another $50 a light?
