How is the DEPTH compared to a traditional Halogen MR-16 Bulb? I have a Low Voltage Rock Light that one LED Bulb I bought was too deep.

Great Eagle has a drawing of this bulb with key dimensions. The bulb is slightly larger than the hologen MR-16. We replaced about 18 halogen MR-16s with these bulbs in recessed lamps that had very tight space constraints. We wound-up removing a lens on the fixtures in order to fit these lamps in (the lens was ~ 1/8th of an inch thick). Other than referring to the drawing, you should probably buy one bulb and try it to make sure it fits because there is more to the volume of this bulb than simply its height and diameter, e.g., the curve of the dome of the bulb is "plumper" than that on a halogen bulb.

It's equivalent. I replaced 15 incandescent MR16s with these LED units and had no issues with fit in any fixtures (usually recessed cans).

They appear to have exactly the same depth profile. They fit in my fixtures with the same clearance as halogen vulbs.

The depth is not as strong or as wide. Heats up almost as much as halogen. I'm hoping it will last longer and allow more lights or less power. Mos def a difference in depth.

The pins seem to be the same. I've put MR11 bulbs into lights that came with MR16 and they fit.The MR 16 is a bigger light, though, so much more output and much brigher, generally. That's up to you.I replaced my halogens with LED --- at first just a few because I wanted to and then the rest because I had to because they burned out --- and I'm lighting up parts of my house which are brick and parts which are a lighter color of siding. Cannot tell the difference in color/ temp between these and the halogens they replaced. These are quite bright.

I responded recently that the color temp is slightly whiter than the halogen color temp. When I replaced three of them above our vanity she complained that the new bulbs really washed out her mirror reflection, so I put one of the originals back in the middle socket. The combo was satisfactory and saves us a lot on electricity. But I cannot answer your question quantitatively.

You're welcome. I know this because the older models used 12v T4 50w bi-pin halogens, but I removed the reflector and replaced it with an MR16, and they work fine. I was thinking about LED but bought several MR 16 bulbs on sale.

As far as physical size they are virtually the same as halogen bulbs. The only difference is that these are quite a bit heavier than the typical halogen bulb. As long as the track can support the extra weight (which it should) you should be fine. I would suggest to order one and try it out then order additional ones as needed

I bought some eBay led headlights that were rated at 150w. The results were not good. Put an HID kit in there instead and it was easily 3 times bbrighter , however the spread is horrible but I have yet to try to aim the headlights. I think that a stock halogen bulb with high output might give you the best balance. Best of luck. I don't regret the hids though, serious upgrade

The easiest way to answer this, is to say it's a direct replacement for any MR16 lamp. I have them in both outdoor as well as indoor fixtures and they are, in my opinion, better than the originals, in many ways.

My kitchen is about the same size...I have an island with a pot rack that has 2 lights...surrounded the island with 6 of these...3 on each side...plenty bright! BUT I am having trouble finding LED bulbs that are as bright as the bulbs these came with...halogens eat up a lot of energy and are VERY hot! Overall very happy, but still hunting down the right leds.

since these lights are an open face with no "eyebrow" and I, as a lighting contractor have never seen LEDs with a rated beam spred on them, this is going to be a flood more than a spot. Also the older Halogen mr-16s were rated according to a photo metric chart. aybe you canGoogle the term "photo metric and it might pull up the chart. They were rated from fixture with the beam spread by feet to your object you are trying to light. Wouldn't get my hopes too high only using 1 watt, although this is equal to somewhere in the neighborhood od 15 to 20 watts of Halogen

Looks like your question has already been answered, but just search "MR16 LED 12V". Should cost you about $50 for 10. EBay also has a lot of sellers of these 2-pin bulbs as well, mostly from Hong Kong. I have used both and they all seem to work fine. Keep in mind the color you want, usually measured in degrees Kelvin. A 2500-3500 Kelvin bulb will be warm white, a 5000-6000 Kelvin bulb will be bright white. Also, total watts will vary. 1 watt bulbs, which will be sufficient for most uses, cost less. 3 watt bulbs are quite bright, and may be best used in spotlights or you want to have extra light on a pathway.

We love these LED bulbs and have 8 of them in our motorhome. But when I measured the amp draw, it was not much less than the T8 florescent bulbs they replaced, and the backside still got warm. But the light output is much greater & whiter than the fluorescents they replaced, and they are a well made bulb. I think to get the brighter light, the many LED's are 'pushed' which accounts for the amps not being as low as other LED lights that have fewer LED's. The back side is a heat sink so that is why it is warm.

Halogen is hotter and uses more power ( watts ) . The LED will use less and last longer , generally more of a direct light from LED and whiter . I think its a win win for you .

Illy-Den, can you tell me which specific halogen bulb to use? The previous bulb was a standard incandescent dimmable and I have been without the use of this fixture for months trying to find the appropriate one.

The voltage is 12 volts, the current on LED's is typically one fourth of ordinary lights, but it depends on the amount of LED's. LED bulbs have a variety of the amount of diodes, so the greater the amount the greater the draw. The draw with many diodes is likely to be still be less than ordinary bulbs, and certainly less than halogen bulbs.

the difference is in the size, the mr16 is bigger than the mr11. The mr16 have 50mm of diameter and the mr11 is 35mm, power usage is a lot less for LED. I replaced all my Halogen bulbs in my kitchen ceiling with the mr16 Torchstar bulbs and they work great. I have 3" recessed cans. I am also using these same bulbs in outdoor lighting Paradise fixtures. Hope this helps.

The Cree 18-Watt bulb that I have is about a third again longer than a standard 60w bulb, roughly 3/4" longer than a 75w bulb, and I don't have a 100 watt to compare it with but must be close to that length if it follows the progression of the other bulbs. The width is slightly wider than a 75w bulb, maybe 1/4". That is as close as I can get. The physical dimensions of the Cree I have are the same as the other comment-around 5" long (top to bottom) and 2 3/4" wide at the widest part. For what it is worth, LED lights are worth the extra cost-longevity and efficiency.

The bulb is a T4-E11 Base 75-Watt Halogen. We are not sure that there is an equivalent LED bulb with the same specifications.Thank you,Michael H.Dan's Fan City
