 Abandon MR16 LEDS & revert to Halogen bulbs ? - RichardW
You almost certainly need different transformer(s) - cheap halogen transfers just chop half the AC signal off to make a DC ish current, which is OK for Halogens as they glow - however, this causes all sorts of havoc with LEDS. You need a proper LED driver which delivers proper DC and they will be OK. If you don't use it much, unlikely to worth changing them out, so just go back to halogens.
