FAQs

What does it mean that this 7W MR16 LED light bulb is a 50W replacement/equivalent?

50W replacement or equivalent means that this LED bulb is designed to produce a similar amount of brightness (lumens) as a traditional 50W halogen or incandescent bulb. The light output is where the designation comes from versus the actual power consumption. While the lighting produced will be the similar amount of lumens to its "equivalent," the power consumption will be much less.

What is the difference between MR16 LED and MR16 halogen? Can I replace a 12V MR16 halogen with LED?

MR16 refers to a specific type of reflector lamp, and it comes in both halogen and LED versions. Here are the key differences between MR16 LED and MR16 halogen bulbs:

MR16 Halogen Bulbs:

• Use a tungsten filament similar to traditional incandescent bulbs. They produce light by heating a filament. When the filament becomes white-hot, it emits visible light.
• Are less energy efficient than LED bulbs. Also generates more heat and uses more electricity for the same amount of light output.
• Have a shorter lifespan compared to MR16 LEDs. Halogen bulbs tend to burn out more quickly leading to more maintenance and replacement costs.
• Produce a warmer color temperature.
• Are usually compatible with traditional halogen dimmer switches.

MR16 LED Bulbs:

• Uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to generate light.
• More energy efficient and generate less heat.
• LED bulbs have long lifespans that last significantly longer than halogen bulbs, potentially reducing the frequency of replacements.
• Available in a range of color temperatures making them more versatile in meeting various lighting needs and preferences.
• Most are dimmable. Always be sure to check for compatibility with the existing dimmer installed.

Typically, yes, you can replace a 12V MR16 halogen bulb with an MR16 LED bulb. There are a few things to consider including:

• Double check that the LED bulb is designed for use with a 12V system.
• Check the compatibility with any existing transformers or drivers within your lighting setup.
• Verify that the LED bulb is compatible with any existing dimmer switches if applicable.

The specifications and instructions should always be followed, and any questions should be directed to a licensed electrician.
