Nowadays we are all looking at energy saving as being top of our priority lists when trying to reduce our carbon footprint, and also reduce running costs as well.
In most corridors in hotels, gymnasiums, and large office areas, you would normally see a lot of low voltage MR16 downlights. Typically these would be running standard 12 volt 50w dichroic halogen lamps, with an average lamp life of 2,000 hours. If low voltage downlights aren’t in place, then more than likely there would be mains voltage GU10 halogen lamps running inside existing downlights. Again the lamp life of these lamps is similar to that of the voltage voltage dichroic lamps.
As with most large office areas, typically corridor areas, you would see hundreds of either low voltage or mains voltage downlights. The running costs for all these fittings would be quite expensive over a period of time.
There is an easy solution to reducing your running costs in this instance, when these downlights are in place. This can be done without the need to change the actual fittings that are in place.
We have the ideal product for this. LED MR16 Inserts, available in either a 3w LED, or a 9w LED, with an average LED lamp life of 25,000 hours. The 3w versions run off a 350mA series LED driver, whilst the more powerful 9w versions run off a 700mA LED driver.
These LED MR16 inserts are available in a white LED colour or a warm white LED colour; and simply fit into any MR16 downlight housing, without the need to alter or change exisiting fittings. All that you need to do is place the MR16 LED insert inside the MR16 downlight housing; and then use an LED driver, instead of a low voltage transformer to power these fittings.
