MR-16 base?

Darell · Nov 14, 2001

Hi -

I've been trying and trying to find somebody who will cram a few white LEDs into an MR-16 base for a 12v accent light. Has anybody heard of such an animal?

Thanks!

I know Color Kenitics makes stage lighting fixtures of all different shapes & sizes. I don't know if they do the MR16 though, but I m sure they have something close.

Thanks Brock - I'll give them a shout. I'm a bit surprised that these aren't more common, actually. I mean they're making A/C screw-in bulbs - what I want takes no fancy electronics since it can use as many LEDs as makes sense for the voltage - and it's already DC. Somebody'll get there. If I could just find a source for the MR-16 bases, I'd build my own. Should have saved my old blown bulbs I guess.

Anybody at all? I'm not picky - really.

The good people at Lagoled from the Netherlands make a white MR16 as well as a programmable RGB MR16

BTW 12v MR16s are usually run on AC

Thanks Adam! Is this for real? I just assumed that it was converted to 12v DC. Have to check that out before I go further with my project.

Well, good news. The lagoled MR16 works with AC or DC 12V, so no worries there, apparently. Thanks again for the link!

If your gonna knock someat uop yourself using a dead MR16 or a cheapo butchered...

Just use small bridge rectifier on the board the LEDs are mounted to preferably with a smoothing capacitor.

You`d be suprised by some of the ,erm,`professional` LED lights that dont have any smoothing and even half wave rectification resulting in nasty flicker.

Not slagging LagoLed BTW who have very nice well designed lights form what I have seen of them.
