In the case of dimmable LED's the advantages of the direct 230VAC products makes this the preferred choice. Most often the MR16 LED lamp is not supplied with a transformer. This then not only brings compatibility of the LED and transformer into question, but also compatibility of the transformer and dimmer and in most cases [...]
Low voltage MR16 halogen lamps have a physically much thicker and shorter filament than that of it's 230VAC counterparts. This produces a more even light distribution, generally ensures a much longer lamp lifetime and makes the low voltage lamps less prone to possible over voltage or “spikes” from the mains. The MR16 lamps are also [...]
