MR16 Classic Clear Lens 3W LED GU5.3

• The Eurolux MR16 Classic Frosted Lens 3W LED GU5.3 is a high-performance, low-voltage lamp engineered to be the perfect replacement for outdated 20W to 35W 12V halogen spotlights.
• This lamp's primary purpose is to solve the dual problems of high energy consumption and the harsh, focused glare commonly associated with traditional MR16 bulbs.
• Its most significant differentiating factor is the intelligent combination of a frosted lens and an exceptionally wide 120-degree beam angle.
• This design transforms a standard spotlight fixture into a versatile source of broad, soft, and beautifully diffused general illumination.
• The MR16 Classic Frosted Lens 3W LED GU5.3 consumes a mere 3 watts of power, is available in both a cozy Warm White and a clear Cool White, and comes in convenient multi-pack options, making it the ultimate plug-and-play upgrade for creating comfortable, energy-efficient, and uniformly lit environments.

Features

• Ultra-Low Energy Consumption: Uses only 3 watts of power while providing a bright 270 lumens, delivering over 90% in energy savings compared to a 35W halogen.
• Certified High Efficacy: Boasts a certified performance of 90 lumens per watt, ensuring maximum brightness for minimal power usage.
• Extremely Wide Beam Angle: A massive 120° beam angle provides a broad, even spread of light, ideal for general room illumination rather than focused spotting.
• Soft, Diffused Light: The frosted lens eliminates sharp shadows and harsh glare, creating a comfortable and visually appealing ambiance.
• Long-Lasting Performance: Engineered for an impressive 15,000-hour operational lifespan, drastically reducing the need for frequent bulb changes.
• Direct Retrofit Design: Features a standard MR16 shape and GU5.3 two-pin base, allowing for a seamless, tool-free replacement of existing halogen bulbs.
• Choice of Two Colour Temperatures:
  • 3000K Warm White for a relaxing, cozy atmosphere.
  • 4000K Cool White for a clear, neutral, and modern light.
• High Colour Accuracy: A Colour Rendering Index (CRI) of over 70-80 ensures that colours in your space appear natural and well-defined.
• Reliable Non-Dimmable Driver: Engineered for maximum stability and longevity when used in standard on/off lighting circuits.
• Convenient Multi-Pack Options: Available in single, twin-pack, and four-pack configurations to provide excellent value for projects of any size.
• 2-Year Warranty: Backed by a comprehensive 2-year manufacturer warranty for complete peace of mind.

Benefits

• Drastic Reduction in Electricity Bills: By replacing a single 35W halogen with this 3W LED, you cut the running cost of that light point by over 90%, leading to substantial and immediate savings on your energy bills.
• Superior Visual Comfort: The unique frosted lens and wide beam angle eliminate the harsh, concentrated "hotspots" of light common with clear-lens halogens. This reduces eye strain and creates a more pleasant, uniform, and welcoming atmosphere in any room.
• "Fit and Forget" Convenience: The 15,000-hour lifespan translates to years of maintenance-free operation, saving you the recurring cost and hassle of buying and installing new bulbs, especially in high ceilings or difficult-to-access fixtures.
• Unmatched Versatility: While it fits in a spotlight fixture, this bulb acts like a mini-floodlight. It's perfect for transforming track lighting or downlights from simple accent lighting into effective general room illumination for kitchens, hallways, and living areas.
• Effortless Modernisation: Upgrading your lighting is as simple as changing a bulb. The standard MR16 base allows for a direct, plug-and-play replacement without the need for any wiring changes (transformer compatibility must be checked).
• Tailor Your Environment: The choice between the warm, inviting glow of the 3000K model and the clean, bright clarity of the 4000K model gives you the power to create the perfect ambiance for your space.
• Excellent Value for Projects: The availability of twin and four-packs offers exceptional economy when outfitting an entire room, home, or commercial space.

Tips

To ensure you get the best performance and longevity from your MR16 Classic Frosted Lens 3W LED GU5.3, please follow these expert recommendations:

• CRITICAL - Check Your Transformer: This is a 12V lamp and requires a transformer (driver). Many old electronic transformers for halogen bulbs have a high minimum load requirement (e.g., 20W). A single 3W LED bulb will not meet this minimum, causing the light to flicker or not turn on at all. For best results, replace your old halogen transformer with a modern, high-quality 12V DC LED Driver that has no minimum load. Magnetic transformers are also a reliable option.
• CRITICAL - Dimmability: This bulb is specified as non-dimmable. Do not use it with any type of 12V dimmer or on a mains circuit controlled by a dimmer, as this will cause damage to the bulb.
• Understand the Beam Angle: This is a wide-angle "flood" bulb, not a narrow "spot" bulb. It is designed to light up a large area evenly. If you need a highly focused beam to highlight a small object, a clear-lens MR16 with a narrower beam angle (e.g., 36°) would be more suitable.
• Safety First: Always ensure the power to the lighting circuit is switched off at the breaker before attempting to install or replace any MR16 bulb.
• Do Not Mix with Halogens: On a multi-bulb circuit, do not mix these LED bulbs with halogen bulbs on the same transformer. The different load characteristics can cause performance issues. Replace all bulbs on the circuit with LEDs.
