Description
This pack holds two GU5.3 MR16 LED bulbs, the compact two-pin reflector spot that many recessed downlights and track heads take. Each bulb has a clear glass body with a faceted reflector inside and a flat glass front, and measures 5cm across and 4.5cm long. Each draws 2.8W and gives 350 lumens of warm white light at 2700K, the soft, slightly golden tone most people want in a living room or bedroom. The IP20 rating settles where they belong: indoors, in dry rooms.
Running on 12V AC/DC, they suit low-voltage downlights, spotlights and track fittings made for a GU5.3 cap. They are a simple swap for tired spots in a kitchen ceiling, a lit display shelf or a light picking out a favourite picture, and because they come as a pair, two neighbouring fittings share exactly the same colour of light. The warm 2700K tone also sits comfortably beside other warm white bulbs, so a room keeps one even, welcoming glow from corner to corner rather than a patchwork of cool and warm spots.
The clear glass body keeps the bulb neat where its back is visible in an open fitting, and the faceted reflector directs the light forward rather than scattering it around the room. These bulbs are not dimmable, so they belong in a fitting controlled by an ordinary switch, not a dimmer. Their energy class is D, and the packed weight is a featherlight 0.089KG. Before you order, take out one of your current bulbs and check that it reads GU5.3 and 12V, which tells you straight away that this pair will fit and work as a direct replacement.
