The Philips ET-S 15 is an electronic transformer with an input rating of 220-240V and an output rating 11.3V. The transformer has screw terminals on the DC and AC side, which makes it easy to install and operate. Conveniently dimmable, the transformer will last for more than 40,000 hours. Additionally, the transformer is CE, SELV, and EMC compliant, and is compatible with Philips LED 12V MR16 lamps.
I implemented initially 6 of these replacing my halogen transformer and globes to be sure of the quality prior to proceeding with more than 80 others. The product is of great quality and it was with ease of installation I write this review.
I had no failures and the I used the same 240/24V connections from the halogens so no other components are required if you are switching from a Halogen to a LED transformer.
I thought about the LED retrofit globes, they are cheaper (by a few dollars) to install given you only replace the globe as they work off the Halogen transformer however the replacement cost when the globe blows is higher so essentially I decided to replace the transformer and globes to save on future replacements.
The electrician was complaining that the wire terminals are too small for my wiring as they are push on type not with screws and he had to modify the wiring to be able to use these dimmable transformers. Apart from that, they seem OK. They are working fine.
I only had them installed today.
Unfortunately these lamps are longer than other MR16 lamps on the market that fit for example the CROMPTON gallery track light TR19T units. They look OK in the photo but have a different reflector profile than other MR16 lamps. I'm stuck with the 5x LED's I ordered and unable to use them. The advertising for these lamps should be quite specific about this difference.
This ET does the job with making the daylight LED lamps operate better. The lower wattage capacity is needed for these as a single lamp. These worked well..
