I live in an unusual little house which is off-grid and relies on a simple 12v system for lighting. We currently have flourescent caravan wall lights but I'm looking to upgrade to more modern fittings and bulbs. I'd like to have spotlights (wall-mounted) for the kitchen and bathroom, so I've been looking at getting 12v halogen spots (minus transformer) and fitting them with LED bulbs. However, it turns out that it's now difficult and expensive to get hold of the 12v MR16 light fittings and that the cheaper more readily available fittings are the 240v GU10 type.
Not wanting to cough up NZ$100 per set of spotlights, I've been doing a little more research. It seems you can get 12v LED bulbs with the GU10 base... So my question is, if I got hold of some of these bulbs, could I just wire a standard (240v) spotlight into my house and kit it out with a 12v GU10 bulb? Please excuse my ignorance if this is a stupid question...!
