I've been fitting tons of GU10 led's without transformers. Usually the GU10 format implies that they are 240v. Most of the GU10 leds dim these days and the easiest dimmer modules to set up are v-pro. You can replace the module only for around £10 and keep your existing dimmer plate and knob if you already have dimmers.
Are you sure you're looking at GU10's not MR16's which always need a transformer.

Do you have a good source for these? I've bought been replacing dimmers all over our house but there are a couple of double/triple plates with different requirements per circuit.

Hey Airhead, we're going from GU10 Halogen and spot halogen to regular fittings to take small screw in LED bulbs. Are you saying that, as long as I have a suitable dimmer switch I should be able to chop out the transformer all together.
Have found this, I'm guessing this is what you're talking about.

LED question, we're wanting to install these new fittings in the place of halogen light fittings with the idea to convert to LED. We're doing this in 2 rooms.
Kitchen, all Dimmable
2 x Spot/down lighters for 2 LED light fittings
1 x 4 spot GU10 cluster for 1 3 LED light cluster
Lounge, on/off, may convert to dimmable.
1 x 4 Spot GU10 Cluster for a 4 LED light Cluster
Before I looked into it I thought you could just take out the old and slap in the new, but it turns out the Halogen GU10 bulbs require a transformer, and it seems the LED lights do as well. Am I right to assume you need a different LED transformer when swapping out, and a new dimmer switch as well? Am I right or am I right/wrong?
