LED Halogen
Replacements
Ultra high-brightness MR16
style LED spotlights with
GU5.3 (12V AC/DC) or GU10 (240V AC) bases.
These LED replacement lamps generate a level of illumination
comparable
to that of a 35W halogen downlight / spotlight while consuming
less than
5W of power, and have a life expectancy of 50,000 hours of
continual use
 Due
to the widely varying range of available light fittings from
different manufacturers, it is advisable to check any
fitting to ensure compatibility.
The GU10 model has an in-built
transformer and is designed to be powered directly from the
mains. The GU5.3 model is designed to be used with a 12V
transformer.
Due to the very high energy
efficiency of these LED lamps, they consume very little
power in comparison to halogens and as such do not always
reach the minimum load requirement for halogen transformers
to operate properly. For this reason, as with all low
voltage LED products, a suitable LED compatible transformer
should be used with the GU5.3 to ensure proper function and
long-term reliability.
