Use LED MR16 Lamps and Reduce Energy Costs

Are you still receiving high energy bills even after consciously trying to reduce your energy consumption? Do you feel that your current halogen or fluorescent bulbs fail to give your home or office sufficient light? Well, then it is about time you switched to LED MR16 spot lamps to fulfill all of your general and commercial lighting requirements.

It is a known fact that all halogen and fluorescent bulbs use plenty of electricity (up to 10x more than LED), thus for large spaces with lots of bulbs you are left with a substantial energy bill. Also, if these bulbs are used constantly, they tend to fail and flicker more quicly. Rated lifetimes for halogen bulbs is just 1000 to 2000 hours, so you could well be changing them every few months.

On the other hand, LED MR16 Lamps offer you superior lighting that will outperform any high powered halogen light. Moreover, these lamps have an impressive lifespan of about 40000+ hours compared to traditional lighting – fluorescent bulbs which burn out in just 10000 hours. Thus, these long lasting LED lamps are a good lighting choice for all commercial areas like office conference rooms, hotel lobbies or reception areas, and even restaurants or clubs.

Novel Energy Lighting supplies a range of very high quality LED MR16 of the both the dimmable and non-dimmable variety. The Philips Master LED MR16 lamp range comes with a special Airflux Design, allowing it to be cooled passively without the aid of an internal fan. This allows the lamp to stay cool and dim well despite the low voltage. The MasterLED range is available in a variety of wattage to suit brightness requirements, and comes in warm white, white, and cool white colour temperatures.

Additionally, you can select the beam angle required, either 24 or 36 Deg depending on the spread of light you need. Generally, use a narrower beam with higher ceilings to give the light more time to disperse, or for accent lighting of particular objects or areas. Philips LED lamps come in 4W = 20W equivalent, 7W = 35W equivalent, 10W = 50W equivalent. The Corepro range has slightly different (lower) wattages because this is a non-dimmable value range, which may be just right for you if you don’t need dimming functionality. Thus, with LED MR16 bulbs your energy bills will now be 80% less than what they used to be. And with its longer lifespan, you won’t have to worry about replacing them for many years.

Another interesting feature of the Philips LED MR16 lamps is that they have a unique Intelligent Driver System which makes them compatible with all existing electronic and electromagnetic halogen transformers. What’s more, these LED lamps can be retrofitted into most of your existing MR16 fittings and fixtures. There is no UV or IR in the beam, making it suitable for illuminating heat-sensitive objects (food, organic materials, paintings, etc.)
