I hope this is the correct forum to post this in, if not please feel free to move it...

I am considering purchasing a low voltage (12V) chandelier from lbllighting called a Monorail Chandelier Single Tier Round with 12 Twin Tube Chandelier heads. Each head takes a pair of 10 watt xenon G4 bi pin bulb. Apparently they can take up to a 20 watt xenon G4 bulb. The transformer for the chandelier only goes to 300 watts. Also, I heard that it needs to be at least 40% loaded to work.

I'd like to replace these bulbs with some type of LED bulb. I've seen some bulbs that look like cylinders with 4-8 sides with a bunch of LEDs on each side and on the top. I think I will need bulbs that draw 5 Watts to hit the minimum draw. So the question is, what problems am I going to have? Is this going to work or am I going to have heat issues?

Thank you.
