LED MR16 Lamps – A Light Source in Demand

LED technology has been evolving at break-neck speed. From general lighting for home and commercial settings, to accent lighting for presentation and ambience creation, LEDs are used widely in various forms. Whether for reduction in wattage or prolonged lamp life, LEDs have proven to be advantageous. Therefore, there are many manufacturers of LED lighting that have entered the marketplace to showcase their efficient products. However, Novel Energy Lighting supplies only the highest quality LED lighting to its customers. It believes it is important to work with top manufacturers like Philips, Megaman, Osram, and Heathfield when supplying LED lamps and fittings to ensure quality, durability, and light output uniformity.

LED MR16 lamps

LED MR16 lamps are light sources that can be used in in spot or downlight fixtures. They run at low voltage, and therefore require a transformer in the circuit to drop from mains voltage to 12VDC. Quality LED lamps have well designed heat sinks to dissipate heat. These lamps can last much longer than traditional halogen lamps, and are rated for up to 50,000 hours or more. LED MR16 lamps are ideal for always-on applications such as hospitals or hotels which require constant illumination. LEDs produce more lumens than halogens when compared on a wattage basis. For example a 5W LED MR16 delivers comparable light output to a 50W halogen MR16, thus saving 90% energy. MR16 LEDs  are available in various colour temperatures depending on application requirements, from 2,700K warm white, up to 6000K daylight;  mood creation is possible with these lights.

Novel Energy Lighting offers a huge range of LED MR16 lamps manufactured by top brands. Some of the MR16 lamps available at this online store are the Philips CorePro NEW 5W MR16 which is equivalent to 35W halogen MR16 lamps, Heathfield 5W MR16 COB, 5W which is equivalent to 50Whalogens, and extra warm mellotone Megaman 6W MR16.

Lux magazine reports:

Row looms over delay in halogen lamp ban

19 MAY 2014

A row is brewing among lamp makers over the possible postponement of the ban of halogen lamp formats.

Numerous halogen sources, including low-voltage MR16, G9 and mains GU10, are due to be banned in 2016 as part of the European Commission’s DIM regulations.

But it’s looking increasingly likely that the scheduled phase-out of the lamps will be delayed until at least 2018 because it’s unlikely that low-cost LED replacements will be ready in time.

It’s almost certain that G9s will be allowed to remain on the market as LED lamp makers have struggled to replicate this format.

The phase-out of MR16 is also problematic because if low-cost, quality LED alternatives are not available, the only substitute are versions with an infrared coating (IRC). This opens up the possibility that the US manufacturer which owns the patent for the IRC process could be gifted a monopoly on the market.

‘The European Commission is terrified of creating black holes [of missing lamp formats] in the market as it will fuel anti-EU sentiment and play well in the Eurosceptic press,’ said one source. ‘The format that everyone gets worked up about is MR16 but the IRC patent issue is a massive spanner in the works.’

Major manufacturers of LED lamps are unhappy with the growing pressure for a delay in the halogen ban. ‘It looks like the goalposts are being moved,’ said Fred Bass, managing director of Neonlite International, owner of the Megaman brand.  ‘In my view, it’s not sensible to push back the date of the final ban on mains voltage halogen lamps by a further two years and leave these high energy lamps on the market for a more than four years from today.

‘From a technological point of view, LED lighting technology is progressing so rapidly, surely it makes more sense to make decisions on the extension of the halogens phase-out deadline much closer to the ban’s implementation, rather than now?

‘This would be more realistic given the pace of change in this technology at present and would also be in line with the precedent set in lighting regulation 1194/2012, which cites the need for a review of the phase-out ‘based on affordability issues’ that is allowed up to a year before its implementation.

‘In addition, I feel that the decision to extend the phase out to over four years from now, when the pace of change in LEDs is so fast at this time, will result in the loss of an opportunity to significantly reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. As well as impacting our environment negatively, this revision sends the wrong message.’

LUX Magazine reported that according to Ray Molony that the individuals who have the most influence on the direction of the industry are named below:

LUX Magazine

LUX Magazine

1.      Charles Swoboda

‘Chuck’ Swoboda, 46, is the visionary chief of Cree, the US Company which sees it as its mission to single-handedly drive LED adoption. He oversaw the introduction of pace-setting products including the first US$10 LED lamp, a 93 CRI lamp and $99 LED streetlight as well as a spectacularly ambitious consumer TV advertising campaign to change attitudes to LED.

2.      Ernest Moniz

Moniz is head of the US Department of Energy, which the industry has to thank for establishing the ground rules for measuring and testing LEDs. With the US lighting society IESNA, it developed and popularised LM79 and LM80 which have become the de facto global standards for the performance of LED kit and the life of LED sources respectively.

3.      Shuji Nakamura

Nakamura is the reason there’s a LED lighting market at all. While at Nichia Corporation in Japan in 1993, he invented the blue LED which in turn allowed white LED lighting. He is now the co-founder and chief technology officer at innovative US LED maker Soraa, whose gallium-on-gallium technology delivers high CRI, high efficiency lamps.

4.      Eric Rondolat

As CEO of market-leader Philips Lighting, Rondolat has a big job to do in migrating the company from traditional technology to LEDs. Whether it’s the company’s licensing programme for its intellectual property and patents, its acquisition plan or its product introductions, what Philips does affects the whole market, making Rondolat one of its key players.

5.      Jed Dorsheimer

The man who sank 1,000 business plans, Dorsheimer is the world’s leading analyst of lighting stocks and shares and the man publicly-listed firms need to impress. As the Boston-based head of equity research at investment bank Canaccord Genuity he is hugely influential – If Dorsheimer does not like your LED policy, he’ll mark your shares as a ‘sell’.

6.      Maryrose Sylvester

Maryrose Sylvester is CEO of GE Lighting, and is responsible for $3 billion of sales and some 13,000 employees. Unlike some GE appointments, Sylvester’s a lighting industry veteran; she has worked in GE Lighting for 14 years. If she can transfer the firm’s expertise in industrial internet into the lighting market, it could be a game-changer.

7.      Lee Kun-hee

Lee Kun-hee is the third son of Samsung founder Lee Byung-chull and one of the richest men in the world. As chairman of Samsung Electronics, he gets to decide when and how it enters the global lighting market. The company has made a tentative start, but lighting execs – having seen its takeover of the TV market – are deeply fearful of a full-on assault.

8.      Tony Fadell

If working with designer Jony Ive on the look of the Apple iPod (itself hugely influential in the design of luminaires) wasn’t enough, Tony Fadell has launched Nest Labs to commercialise sensor-driven, Wi-Fi-enabled technologies, which observers are citing are the Next Big Thing in lighting. Google agrees – it has just paid a staggering $3.2 billion for the firm.

9.      Adolfo Guzzini

Chief of Italian luminaire manufacturer iGuzzini and part of the Guzzini lighting dynasty, Adolfo has managed to maintain the company’s global reputation for leadership in design into the LED era. Recent successes include the Pixel Pro, the Lun-up and, best of all, the stellar Lux Award-winning Laser Blade downlight, which was designed in-house.

10.  Jürg Zumtobel

Son of founder Dr. Walter Zumtobel, Jürg has been in top positions at the eponymous group – the owner of prized brands Zumtobel, Tridonic and Thorn – for decades. He’s currently chairman of the supervisory board and last year won a boardroom battle which saw the departure of the CEO and CFO. Critics, however, say the firm is behind the pace on LEDs.

Novel Energy Lighting applauds LUX Magazine for placing the spotlight on these people who have made it happen in the lighting business. As a supplier of such innovative and efficient LED lighting, Novel Energy Lighting also contributes in increasing the pace of LEDs in the industry. It sells LEDs products like panels, GU10 lamps, GLS bulbs, MR16 lamps, tubes, candle bulbs, compatible fixtures, and a lot more.

LED lighting has progressed a long way with the advent of high power LEDs. LED MR16 lamps are now around the same size as halogen lamps, which makes them a perfect direct replacement for older and inefficient traditional lamps, and they will save you money too!. These LED lamps can be used for spotlights and downlights to create a pleasant indoor or outdoor ambience. The light produced by these lamps is perfectly bright and is available in cool white or warm white light. With energy saving of up to 90%, these lamps will save you money and reduce your carbon footprint.. They are an ideal replacement when for fluorescent and halogen lighting.

LED MR16 lamps

LED MR16 lamps

Halogen MR16 lamps produce more heat, which means they have limited lifespans of around 2000hrs.. In contrast, LEDs produce much less heat because they use much less power, which means they are especially durable. The powerful light from one LED can outlast 25 replaced halogen lamps, delivering outstanding performance. Energy costs are barely a concern when it comes to using these high power LED MR16s, especially as global electricity prices continue to rise. Moreover, it is an investment that pays for itself in less than 1 year (sometimes in a matter of months). Novel Energy Lighting sells a range of such LEDs that are manufactured by Philips, Megaman, Heathfield and others.
