MR11 LED (cool white, 0.4w)

Using only a fraction of the electricity that a standard halogen lamp would use these LED bulbs are the ultimate energy saving lamp.

These are excellent replacement LED bulbs for some vehicles and caravans, where heat generation, or power usage is critical to a successful lighting solution. These MR11 LED lamps have a slightly domed glass lens cover which helps to give a better spread of light then from most LED bulbs.

LED lamps are also excellent products to use where access for lamp replacement is difficult, as they will last for 50,000 hours in optimal conditions, which might as well be forever. 50,000 hours is the average life of the lamps when they are run under optimal conditions. They can run on an AC or DC power supply, but an AC supply will shorten their life by approximately 50%. Even then, 25,000 hours is a very long time time!

These LEDs deliver a very crisp white light, which is very 'cool'.

The packaging for this product is marked as 1.1 watts, but in our tests each lamp that we tested drew only 0.4w of power, so we are describing them as 0.4w despite what the packaging says.

Because LED lamps draw a tiny amount of power, a regular lighting transformer will usually not be sufficient to run them as most transformers have a minimum power requirement. See the spares and accessories tab above for a suitable LED driver.

If you use a dedicated LED driver it will give the bulb a suitable DC power supply which will make it last much longer - see spares and accessories.

This LED bulb is best used for effect lighting as its output is considerably less than a 10W halogen bulb.
