Default Transformers or Switchers??

Randen,

I have quite a few LEDs around the house and I think they are just great!

I have at the same time been seriously going through all of my wall-wart power supplies and getting rid of the transformer type (heavy ones) and keeping only the high efficiency switchers.

So, I'm curious if you have paid attention to the power supplies for your LEDs? Are they transformers or are they switchers?

Seems like an inefficient power supply could nullify the efficiency gains of LED lighting.
