Mr16 output help

[mesa232323]

Anybody know the true output lumen rating, lux, and OTF lumens for a Philips mr16 50w module at 10 degrees beam?

I will be using 5 imr 26500 in a mag 4d with resistance mods to the cap, and high current rocker switch wired directly to the bulb.

Assuming bulb is rated 12 volt, 50W, 2000 hrs life, output will be pretty close to this.

Thank you for the info 5M. It was a 12 volt light but it was rated for 3000 hours. Not sure if that means it could be driven harder.

Hi,

recently I found a "strange" MR16 lamp and I wondered if a similar lamp has ever been tested yet ... well, here is the link
While not being especially efficient at 12V (only 800lm), wouldn't it take some insane overdrive at a claimed bulb life of 15000h (:eek:) ?
