Philips Expert Colour LED MR16 (GU5.3) 7.2W Dimmable

Superior MR16 halogen downlight replacement

The Philips ExpertColor Master LED MR16 7.2 Watt is a direct replacement for 'low voltage' downlights when the best quality light is needed.

Here's why we think the Expert Colour Series is the ideal retro-fit bulb where colour accuracy matters:

• Highly accurate colour rendering (97 CRI).
• Comparable brightness to 50 Watt halogens (85%+ energy savings).
• Works in both dimmable and non-dimmable fittings.
• Designed to work with existing transformers.
• You can replace them yourself - no electrician required.

Where does colour accuracy (high CRI) matter?

Our popular Philips MR16 LED already has a high Colour Rendering Index (CRI) of 90. It's perfect throughout the home, office and many retail environments. But Philips ExpertColor's higher CRI of 97 makes it a better choice in some situations.

The lighting of a space impacts the way we perceive the colour of objects in the room. And some situations demand the highest colour rendering possible. These include retail environments like cosmetics, clothing or jewellery. Museums, libraries, art galleries, and photo galleries are further examples. At home, they are ideal for artist studios, sewing rooms, or photographic work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it work on non-dimmable circuits?

Yes, it works on both dimmable and non-dimmable circuits (with and without dimmers installed).

Will the high CRI MR16 LED work with my transformer?

Yes, it works with the vast majority of existing transformers (old and new).

Will the high CRI MR16 LED work with my dimmer?

Yes, it has very wide dimmer compatibility. Should there be a problem with your dimmer, there are several solutions available, such as:

1. Leaving one halogen bulb in the circuit to bring up the load, or
2. Using the 'Clipsal Load Correction Device' for Clipsal dimmers, or
3. Replacing the dimmer with one that is known to work with LEDs (such as this LED Dimmer), or
4. Removing the dimmer switch.

How do I calculate light spread?

Here's how to calculate the light spread diameter at floor level (in metres) for any ceiling height:

• 36 degree globe: ceiling height (in metres) x 0.650
• 60 degree globe: ceiling height (in metres) x 1.155 

Will it fit in my existing downlight fitting?

Yes, in fact we have not found an MR16 fitting that it does not fit into!
