Intended as a direct replacement for old-fashioned halogen bulbs, this low voltage glass LED MR16 from Crompton Lamps has been designed to retrofit to your existing installations whilst consuming a fractional amount of power compared to the bulbs that currently occupy them. Using just 5W but producing a quality of light comparable to 35W halogen bulbs, this LED version boasts far superior longevity. Despite the modern technology that sits under the bonnet, the bulb retains the cosmetics of its halogen counterparts with a glass body that offers a traditional, familiar aesthetic.Should you wish to use this bulb in different settings - from recessed kitchen ceiling installations to humid bathroom environments - its universal shape and cap type make it suitable for use with any of our range of MR16 Downlight FittingsNote: low voltage MR16 bulbs require a compatible driver/transformer that will step down the mains voltage to 12v in order for them to work properly.Please note that this light bulb will operate with most AC and DC 12V transformers. However, some 12V transformers may have a minimum required load which may not be met when installing low powered LEDs: these drivers may cause flickering or the LEDs not to function correctly. If this issue arises it may be necessary to source a suitable LED driver. Please refer to the manufacturers website for compatibility.
