LED MR16 Lamps – Next Generation Lighting

Lighting your home or office space is as important as choosing the décor. Many spaces already use halogen MR16s for general or accent lighting. A simple retrofit with LED MR16 lamps should be used to save energy. These lights are similar to traditional halogen lamps in size, which makes them an easy direct replacement for inefficient lighting. Such bright, direct beam lamps can be used indoors as well as outdoors in spotlights and downlights.  These advanced LEDs provide outstanding performance and quality, producing bright, white light, whilst consuming up to 80% less energy

LED MR16 lamps incorporate built in drivers and are compatible with most 12V transformers. A much lower level of heat is produced by LED lamps, since the input power is so much less. Moreover, LED MR16s last up to 15 times longer than traditional halogen lamps. Over their lifetime these lamps save a considerable amount of money, since they consume a mere fraction of the energy used by halogen lamps, and last much longer, which means less re-lamping costs (lamps and maintenance labour). Payback time is usually less than 6 months.

Novel Energy Lighting offers a wide range of LED MR16 lamps from Philips, Megaman, Verbatim and other manufacturers. Top sellers are the new Philips 5W CorePro LED MR16, and the Megaman dimmable 8W LED MR16.

LED MR16 – High Power LEDs

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.

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.

Analysts Predict Strong Sales for LED GU10 Bulbs

Sales of LED bulbs are increasing this year, just as they have consistently in recent times as prices have fallen and more buyers have gained an appreciation for the benefits of this type of lighting technology.

Virtual Strategy Magazine reports that retail insiders predict that sales of LED GU10 bulbs and other competing products such as LED MR16 models will continue on an upward trajectory in terms of sales well into the future, if current trends continue.

 The chief benefit of GU10 lamps and similar LED lighting solutions is that they consume much less energy than traditional bulbs and can even outdo products that are supposedly designed for efficiency.

 LED lighting is increasing in importance both for commercial lighting purposes and in the domestic marketplace, with consumers becoming familiar with the options that are available to them. It has even got to the point that specialist retailers can emerge, dealing not only in LED lamps and associated solutions, but actually with specific products from within this wider marketplace.

 Although LED bulbs are costlier than older lighting technologies, in the long run they can actually be a much better investment. With lower levels of energy consumption, they make less of an impact on utility bills, while the durability and longevity of the technology which they harness means that they require less maintenance. They will not need to be replaced as often as traditional bulbs.

 Awareness and usage of LED lighting solutions could really explode if mainstream retailers and providers get behind the technology, enhancing its profile. They can then use the increased demand to drive down prices as adoption spreads.

 GU10 LED units are already affordable and robust in their design, giving consumers plenty of reason to part with their money and experience the real benefits at first hand, which is always the best way to assess whether the claims are justified. And in 2013, it would be unwise to ignore the influence of LED lighting.

 You can use this site to look into the LED lighting marketplace, with more information on everything from LED GU10 and LED MR16 lamps to specialist products such as LED tubes. Do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions that remain unanswered.

An interesting article about the increasing trend of in LED lighting on boats, yachts, and other marine vehicles. Many boaters really on batteries to keep the lighting on when moored. LEDs reduce power draw by up to 85%, so its easy to see why  it makes sense to replace halogens with LEDs!

[credit Power and MotorYacht magazine]

An experienced boater realizes the benefits of retrofitting his 27-year-old boat with LED lighting.

 When you hear the term “LED lights,” your first vision may be a plethora of bright white, blue, and other-colored lights illuminating the outside of a boat and even the water beneath the hull. Like a scene out of a science-fiction movie, eh? But there is a practical side to Light-Emitting Diodes or LEDs that makes them attractive for use in a boat’s interior.

LED Light Installation - step 1

This spring Will Keene, president of marine equipment manufacturer Edson International (www.edsonmarine.com) in New Bedford, Massachusetts, upgraded the lights on his 1985 Grand Banks 42, and I got to watch the process to replace the interior lights aboard his boat with LEDs, including an upgraded dimmer system in the saloon.

One of the primary reasons for the upgrade is that Keene likes to spend his nights anchored in secluded coves. The LEDs will save Keene battery power because they use only about a quarter of the juice required to power the old incandescent lights. The lights Keene chose use less than 5.0 watts, and have a 50,000-hour lifetime plus a five-year warranty.

LED Light Installation - step 2

In addition to being more efficient, LEDs are safer. To resist water intrusion each light has a sealed housing. Additionally, a quality LED light has a built-in driver with integrated current regulation to assure that each LED is being powered appropriately regardless of input voltage. LEDs need ambient air around the back of the housing to help keep them cool. Also, LEDs take up less space than old-school automotive-style bulbs, so there should be plenty of space in the same framework.

For the swap, Keene selected 15 of the Warm White color and a single Warm Red at the helm station to preserve night vision. LED Light Installation - step 3Total cost for the lights, LED dimmer modules, Vimar switches, frames, and an LED engine-room kit was $3,334.90.

Here’s how Keene’s boat was upgraded. Single two-light fixtures in the forward and aft staterooms and accompanying heads were installed, while four assemblies with dimmers were replaced in the saloon. Because each LED had its own integrated circuit board,  a matched dimmer and two additional wires were used between the dimmers and the lights. To comply with American Boat and Yacht Council guidelines, lighting engineer Mike Moriarty made all connections with crimped heat-shrink quick-disconnect terminals from Ancor Marine.

The two-man crew spent about six hours removing the old fixtures and the valances that Grand Banks had installed to hide the original wiring. When I arrived at the boat, there were wires hanging down from all the openings awaiting the upgrade. Keene was fortunate because Grand Banks hid a little extra wire above the headliner and it was found in good shape. Fishing new wires throughout the boat would have made the job much more difficult.

LED Light Installation - step 4To keep the Grand Banks look, Keene retained the original teak frame surrounding the old lights and covered each plastic lens with birdseye maple veneer, finishing it with a few coats of polyurethane. The lens would have been too difficult to remove so the veneer was applied over it. To help maintain rigidity and keep the lens from shattering or chipping when it was cut for the new lights, Keene applied a teak backing plate bonded with West Systems epoxy.

In the staterooms, the LED upgrade was easy. All that had to be done was connect the two wires on each light to those hanging from the opening. For the dimmer and added red light on the starboard side of the saloon, he had to run three new wires from the switch next to the helm entryway up behind the vertical valance to where the headliner met the inner wall. He used square plastic wiring races to run the new wires. The races were hidden outboard of the boat’s original valances. On the port side, most of the initial labor was dedicated to removing trim panels and valances to run the extra wire needed for the dimmer system.

Dimmer units were secured with screws to the framework above the headliner for the forward lights on each circuit with extra wires run from the dimmer aft to the second set of lights on both sides. Adhesive-backed tiewrap anchors hold the wires in place. With wires and dimmers installed, he used the original fastening hardware for the lenses and snapped them back into place. After checking his wiring, he installed the switches. Now Keene’s boat has a lighting system that can set the proper mood and use significantly
