Three of which are on the same circuit as the ones I replaced but are 12v mr11 (gu4) smaller bulbs that use a transformer where the only access to it is through the ceiling as its now nestled snuggly under our recently refurbished bathroom with a tiled floor.. I cannot seem to find anywhere that sells day white halogen bulbs.

Have read on internet that the existing transformer may not be suitable if I get LED's,

Has anyone just replaced 12v halogens and used the existing transformer?

Simple solution is to disconnect, then patch and skim the holes but I'd like to keep them.

I know, forward planning and all that for the transformer positioning!!!!!!
Yep we did. Had 1 that didn't like it out of 4 on the circuit
