There are differences between the operation of low-frequency AC transformers and electronic transformers that supply current to MR16 lamps, and there are also differences in the current draw for MR16 halogen lamps and MR16 LED lamps. These contrasts typically prevent an MR16 LED lamp from operating with most electronic transformers. This article explains how a high-brightness (HB) LED driver optimized for MR16 lamps will allow LED lamps to be compatible with most electronic transformers.
