Frequently Asked Questions about our 3 Watt High power MR16 bulb

Low heat emission
Power savings of up to 92 %

These new wide angle units are the culmination of almost 5 years of experience with LED.

Firstly they have an 8~15v DC operating range - this is very critical due to the fact that ordinary (In gen) type LED bulbs are sensitive to variations in voltage, when a battery is run down to say 11.3v there is resistance incurred by the bulb trying to pull the right amount of voltage into itself while the "tank" is running down further.
Heat is generated by this process and usually shortens the life of the bulb considerably.

We worked on the lens and settled on a refracting glass lens, LEDs are forward directional in light output, ordinary reflectors tended to show an irregular light spread and glass lenses gave 100% results.

Our testing of the wide angle 60 degree units has shown that to achieve a realistic consistent level of light at 60 degrees we must have a glass diffused lens on them.
This has shown perfect results and we therefore will standardize on the glass reflector lens on all subsequent wide angle units.
