Pack of 10 Recessed GU5.3 MR16 Fitting Frost White Ceiling Downlight Fitting

Product Information

For those looking for some robust sturdiness from their downlight, we have a number of diecast items too, like our Fire Rated Downlight GU10 Tilt Satin Chrome Diecast. Our MR16 Downlights are available in 4 finishes: white, chrome, satin and brass. Satin is by far the most popular option with our customers. The best way to describe satin is as a non-reflective chrome. This finish complements most interiors. Downlights generate a lot of heat during operation, making them hot after use. They are so hot that they can cause a first-degree burn. It is therefore advised to wait until the bulb is cool.

A range of MR16 downlights, standard and fire rated, perfect for updating your old, tired lighting system. Compatible with our entire range of MR16 LED spotlights. Available in four finishes - white, chrome, satin and brass - and fixed and tilt options. Our fire rated MR16 downlights are rated for 90 minutes in the event of a fire and are suitable for all new build projects and extensions. What are MR16 downlights? MR16 bulbs usually use 5-6watts of power, which is below the minimum load of a transformer so you would most likely have no problems. You may also need to know what type of bulb is required whilst additionally evaluating the brightness of the lighting. Cutoff Angle: Standard Optics: 82.8°, Medium Filter: 148.9°, Medium Filter With Honeycomb: 84.7°, Wide Filter: 154.3°, Wide Filter With Honeycomb: 90° Beam Angle: Standard Optics: 30.9°, Medium Filter: 40.4°, Medium Filter With Honeycomb: 33.6°, Wide Filter: 41.8°, Wide Filter With Honeycomb: 34.2°Brought to you by Mirrorstone Lighting, you can find a huge selection of GU10 downlights, fitted LED downlights and MR16 downlights amongst others. When purchasing any downlight it is important to consider their fire rating. Fire rated fittings are a legal requirement in new build homes and extensions. They are designed to stop the spread of fire as when you install downlights you are cutting holes into your ceiling and creating an opening which fire can pass through. Mirrorstone MR16 Downlights

You could go for a downlight geared towards safety with fire rated protection included – like our Fire Rated Downlight GU10 Fixed Chrome– which helps prevent the spread of fire between floors. If you find a range of numbers, say, for example, 30-50VA. The 30 is the minimum load rating, while the 50 is the maximum load rating. The total power consumption of your new bulb must be within this range.Afterwards, you need to use a screwdriver to loosen all the screws holding the fitting in place. Using the wires as a guide, locate the transformer (it is usually above the light fitting). You can also find it in your attic. You may have also noticed the variety of finishes available to you – all our GU10 and MR16 Downlights come in white, satin chrome, chrome and brass options. If you’re changing from one LED lightbulb to another, you may have fewer problems because they emit less heat. You should also get extra help from someone watching over you if you’re going to be using a ladder.

If it is a definite number, assume it is your maximum rating and don't install a bulb with higher consumption.MR11 LEDs are smaller than MR16 meaning they are not as bright but allow them to be fitted into smaller downlights. An MR11 has a diameter of 35mm compared with the 50mm diameter of the MR16. The advantage of the MR11 is that they allow for smaller, less obtrusive holes to be cut into a ceiling. MR16 LEDs operate on a lower voltage of 12 volts compared with the more popular mains, 230 volt GU10 LED cap type. This lower voltage requirement can either be 12V AC (Alternating Current) or 12V DC (Direct Current). If the voltage is AC, they are designed to work with existing low voltage halogen transformers. If they are DC you'll need an LED driver.
