Cree 9W 12V MR16 LED 480lm Spot (Warm White)

These MR16 LED spotlights manufactured by Leder incorporate 3 x 3 Watt Cree LED modules and claim an impressive 480 lumen output, making them equivalent to a standard 40 Watt incandescent lamp. With a beam angle of 45 degrees and a stated colour temperature of 3,000k (Warm White), they should be a reasonably good match for replacing halogen MR16 lamps in a wide range of applications, including general lighting. Although the seller describes these LED lamps as a straight swap for ordinary halogen MR16 lamps, it may be necessary to change the low voltage transformer if the existing unit does not produce a stable 12 volt supply at lower loads.

Once again, this seller is describing these lamps as having a 50,000 hour lumen maintenance period. None of the branded manufacturers are making claims of such long life, so we'd advise taking this figure with a pinch of salt.

The dimensions of this lamp are nice and compact, so they should easily fit most existing fittings.
