Pack of 10 Recessed GU5.3 MR16 Fitting Frost White Ceiling Downlight Fitting

Product Information

More people are deciding to implement LED downlights in their homes. This is due to the fact that they are energy efficient. They conserve energy and can produce more light compared to halogen counterparts.

Downlights generate a lot of heat during operation, making them hot after use. They are so hot that they can cause a first-degree burn. It is therefore advised to wait until the bulb is cool. MR11 LEDs are smaller than MR16 meaning they are not as bright but allow them to be fitted into smaller downlights. An MR11 has a diameter of 35mm compared with the 50mm diameter of the MR16. The advantage of the MR11 is that they allow for smaller, less obtrusive holes to be cut into a ceiling.The Philips range of MR16 LEDs we offer operate on AC meaning you can usually swap them straight over for your inefficient halogens. However...from experience this isn't always the case as the LED and transformer aren't always compatible. This can then involve having to upgrade the transformer. By the time you've swapped over the transformer, its easier and more cost effective to just replace your MR16 LEDs with mains voltage GU10s (with a GU10 lamp holder), or replace the entire downlights with new ones. You might need to disconnect and replace your transformer if there is a load mismatch. To disconnect, hold the wire in place and then unscrew the wires attaching the bulb fitting to the transformer.

Beam Angle: Standard Optics: 30.9°, Medium Filter: 40.4°, Medium Filter With Honeycomb: 33.6°, Wide Filter: 41.8°, Wide Filter With Honeycomb: 34.2° Iluminance: Standard Optics: 29 lux @ 5 m, Medium Filter: 11 lux @ 5 m, Medium Filter With Honeycomb: 9 lux @ 5 m, Wide Filter: 8 lux @ 5 m, Wide Filter With Honeycomb: 8 lux @ 5 mWhen purchasing any downlight it is important to consider their fire rating. Fire rated fittings are a legal requirement in new build homes and extensions. They are designed to stop the spread of fire as when you install downlights you are cutting holes into your ceiling and creating an opening which fire can pass through. Mirrorstone MR16 Downlights

If you find a range of numbers, say, for example, 30-50VA. The 30 is the minimum load rating, while the 50 is the maximum load rating. The total power consumption of your new bulb must be within this range. MR16 downlights are a type of light fitting that take an MR16 bulb and shine their light in a predominantly downward direction. The benefit of this type of light fitting is that they are designed to recess into your ceiling and sit flush with the ceiling. The result is a very subtle lighting system and increased ambience. Not only this, but they have incredibly long lifespans (about 50,000 hours i.e 11-year lifespan) whilst being very easy to maintain.
