Sylvania MR Bulb
What is an LED MR16 bulb?
The ‘MR’ in MR16 stands for multifaceted reflector. They use built-in facets and a reflective coating to direct light. These bulbs produce a directional beam that works well for track lighting, recessed lighting, accent lighting, and display lighting. You can use them in homes, store fronts, spas, and hotel lobbies. The ‘16’ in MR16 measures the diameter of the bulb in eighths of an inch. An MR16 bulb measures around 16/8 or 2 inches in diameter.
LED provides an energy efficient alternative to MR16 halogen bulbs. They use a lower wattage, which means they consume less energy, which saves you money! Additionally, LED light bulbs give off less heat than a halogen bulb. MR16 LED light bulbs also last a long time, with some options lasting rated to last around 25,000 hours.
