Description

This GU5.3 LED spotlight bulb is a directional AR111 lamp that puts out a focused 40 degree beam, well suited to picking out specific areas rather than washing a whole room with light. It draws 13 W for 1050 lumens at 4000K cool white, a crisp neutral tone that keeps colours looking true. The cap is the two-pin GU5.3 fitting, which is the low-voltage MR16 standard known to many buyers in the US as a bi-pin MR16 lamp. As a low-voltage type it runs on 12V AC or 12V DC rather than straight off the mains, so it pairs with a matching transformer or driver in the fitting.

Inside the home this bulb works where you want a defined pool of light rather than broad coverage: accent spots over artwork, shelving or a feature wall, directional downlight in a kitchen or living area, and recessed fittings aimed at a worktop or display. The 40 degree beam concentrates the output into a controlled cone, so the light lands where the fitting is pointed instead of spilling sideways. With a high CRI of Ra 97 it renders skin tones, fabrics and finishes faithfully, which makes it a good choice for display and task spots where colour accuracy matters. It is rated for dry indoor use only, so keep it clear of bathrooms, porches and any damp or exposed positions, where the fitting rather than the bulb governs suitability.

The lamp uses the AR111 light source in a spot shape, measuring 111 mm across and 61 mm deep with a silver finish, and weighs 150 g. At 13 W of actual draw it stands in for an old 107 W lamp while using a fraction of the power, with a rated life of 45,000 hours and an efficiency of 81 lm/W. It is fully dimmable on a compatible low-voltage dimming setup, letting you set the level to suit the space.

Frequently Asked

Which fitting does this bulb need?

It has a GU5.3 two-pin cap, the low-voltage MR16 (AR111) standard. Because it runs on 12V rather than mains voltage, it needs a compatible transformer or driver in the fitting. Check your existing fitting takes a 12V GU5.3 lamp before ordering.

What old bulb wattage does it replace?

It draws just 13 W itself but replaces an old 107 W lamp, giving 1050 lumens of output. The LED only ever uses 13 W, so you get the same brightness for a fraction of the running cost.

Is it warm or cool light, and is it dimmable?

It is 4000K cool white, a crisp neutral tone that keeps colours looking natural and suits kitchens, task areas and display spots. It is fully dimmable on a compatible low-voltage dimmer, so you can drop the level for a softer mood.

What is the beam angle and where does it suit?

It has a focused 40 degree beam, giving a controlled cone of light rather than a wide spread. That makes it ideal for accent and directional use over artwork, shelving, worktops or feature walls indoors.
