Brilliance LED is excited to feature our 4th generation MR-16 LED lamps (4W, 5W, & 7W). Redesigned to better fit into standard, low voltage, fixtures and is thermally engineered to operate in enclosed fixtures. These LED's feature our own built-in Heat Overload Protection & our enhanced ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) Protection IEC-61000-4-2. Click here to learn more.
Our Heat Overload Protection technology gives you added security by automatically cooling down (and reducing lumens output) only when exposed to extreme heat (air temperatures above 125ºF). Best of all, there is no color shift when lumens output is reduced, and overall lamp life is improved. When extreme temperatures pass, full lumens output will automatically resume.
At this home in North Scottsdale, the contractor chose the MR-16 by Brilliance LED for its color consistency, energy savings and zero maintenance cost. An occasional lens wipe is all that is needed. The warm stone facade is highlighted with four Brilliance LED MR-16's drawing a total of 4 watts each and a 2700K Kelvin temperature. Lumens output is 230lm per lamp with a beam angle of 30º.
