Termosfar with LED spots?
Hi,

I'm looking to replace my halogen bulbs with LED bulbs in my Termosfar light.

Would these work: 2pcs 12V WARM WHITE 38 Led MR16 Light bulb GU5.3 * - eBay (item 160370571532 end time Nov-16-09 07:57:55 PST)

Those are DC 12V, there are also AC 12V available...

Thanks!

Re: Termosfar with LED spots?
Any update on putting LED's in to replace the Halogens? I have seen these and wondering can I do a straight swap?

I tried to do something very similar - the transformer doesn't like a load less than ~120w-ish, one of mine burnt out. I may try again soon with 12v LEDs and a third-party high-amperage 12v transformer, not using the original transformer at all.
