Two types of low-voltage transformers are used with traditional MR16 lamps: magnetic and electronic.
Consider the following when selecting the appropriate transformer.
Magnetic: The
used with 12V lighting. Additionally, magnetic transformers have a lifetime equal to or longer than the
SōL MR16, are more reliable than electronic transformers and can operate more efficiently than an
electronic transformer if the output current rating used is approximate to the
mA. However, magnetic transformers are heavier, and sometimes may hum (see chart below).
Electronic: The
due to its low power consumption of less than 8W. Some electronic transformers require a minimum
load greater than 8W in order to work properly. This is especially true of lighting fixtures that have an
integral transformer for each. Symptoms of incompatibility include: no light output, flickering, strobing,
or random shutdown.
Caution: The
that flickering is an indication that the
MR16 must be used in fixtures that allow for the free flow of air around the lamp (40

Transformers can be integral to the fixture or remotely located, and can be used to power a group
of fixtures, tracks, cables, or rails. (See Figure 5, Figure 6, and Figure 7)
