Frequently asked questions

Is MR16 the same as GU5.3?

MR16 describes a reflector size, while GU5.3 describes a two-pin cap. Many MR16 lamps use a GU5.3 cap and a 12V supply, but check the actual lamp's cap and voltage. A GU10 twist-lock lamp is not an interchangeable replacement.

Will my existing halogen transformer work with LED MR16 lamps?

Not necessarily. Check the lamp's required voltage and AC/DC compatibility, along with the transformer's supported lamp types and load range. The lower load of LEDs may be below an older transformer's minimum. Have the system checked if compatibility is unclear.

What wattage and brightness should I choose?

Wattage is a useful starting point when matching an existing LED, but compare lumens for brightness. LEDs with the same wattage can give different light output. For an older halogen or incandescent lamp, use the manufacturer's replacement rating and lumen output rather than choosing the same wattage.

Which MR16 beam angle should I choose?

Match the existing lamp's beam angle if you want a similar spread. A narrower beam concentrates light; a wider beam covers a broader area. Compare lumen output too, and consider the fitting height and spacing.

Can I dim MR16 LED lamps?

Only with a compatible complete system: a dimmable lamp, suitable power supply and supported dimmer. Check all three manufacturers' requirements. A dimmable power supply does not make a non-dimmable lamp suitable for dimming.
