What are GU5.3 LED spots?

A GU5.3 LED lamp is a low-voltage lamp. This means that GU5.3 LEDs always operate on 12V, unlike for example GU10 LED lamps. ‘GU5.3’ refers to the fitting. A GU5.3 fitting means that the 2 power connections (pins) are 5.3 mm apart. GU5.3 LED lamps can be placed in traditional spot fixtures with a GU5.3 fitting. GU5.3 LEDs are also called MR16 LED lamps because these spots are equipped with an MR16 reflector.‘MR’ stands for ‘multifaceted reflector’, the light-reflecting reflector located in the lamp bulb, and 16 indicates the diameter in inches (equivalent to 50 mm).

Advantages of MR16 LEDs compared to halogen

GU5.3 LED lamps offer many advantages over traditional halogen versions. With a lifespan of up to 50,000 hours and low power consumption, GU5.3 LED spots are far more efficient. A 5.5W LED spot replaces a 50W halogen spot. This is not only good for the environment but also for your wallet.

MR16 LEDs for 12V

Because a GU5.3 LED lamp operates on 12V, it cannot be directly connected to 220V. This type of LED lamp is often used in campers, caravans and boats, as 12V is a safe voltage. If you wish to use the MR16 LED spots in your home, you will need a transformer or LED driver to convert the mains power to a lower voltage.

Your GU5.3. Making LEDs Dimmable

In our range we also have a dimmable variant of the GU5.3 LED spot. For this you also need an LED driver or transformer, in combination with an LED dimmer. It is possible to dim multiple GU5.3 spots with one dimmable LED driver. A dimmable LED driver of 12V and 12-25W has a maximum power of 25 watts. Therefore, 4 GU5.3/MR16 LED spots of 5.5 watts each (4×5.5w=22w) can be connected to it.
