What are MR 16 LED’s and What are Their Features?

LED is an abbreviated form of light-emitting diode which is a type of semiconductor device that emits visible light of single

wavelength when an electric current passes through it. The light is not particularly bright, but in most LEDs it is

monochromatic. Whereas, "MR16" stands for multifaceted 16 inch long reflector, a pressed glass reflector with the inside

(reflecting side) surface composed of facets and covered by a reflective coating.

Benefits of MR 16 LED Bulbs with-respect to traditional incandescent and other available fluorescent illuminating devices are

enlisted here:

•    Negligible power Consumption: All LEDs are gifted with very low power requirement. Moreover most of them can be

easily operated with a substitute battery power supplies. Most MR16 lamps are operated using voltages lower than 120 volts,

typically 12 volts.

•    High level of efficiency: Most of the power or electric current supplied to an LED is efficiently converted into

radiation in the desired form or wavelength, with minimal surface heat generation.

•    Long half life: One speciality of these bulbs is that they are highly durable and retain the brightness and capacity

for long years. If the installation is done properly an LED can survive for decades without any added tantrums of

maintenance.

•    Instant bright light: These give out their light almost instantly when you turn on the light switch, so you don't

have to wait for long time or adjust with dim light while they get going.

•    Shock proof: Flicking on switch with damp fingers is a kind of rooted bad habit, prevailing among many of us. But if

you install LEDs, you evade the chances of sudden short circuits or shock because these are coated with protective resin

cover which makes them shock proof.

Important applications

•    Colour Indicator lights: These can be two-state (i.e., on/off), bar-graph, or alphabetic-numeric readouts.

•    Supreme LCD panel backlighting: The LED TV which occupies a gallant position in our living areas or our Huge Flat

screen desktop, all are affixed with specialized white LEDs beneath their flawless screen.

•    Specialised fiber optic data transmission protocol: Ease of modulation enables a vast communications bandwidth with

approximately zero noise, resulting in high speed and top notch accuracy.

So, free yourself from counting extra electricity bills every month and wrap your house with this dazzling energy saver MR16 LED and shine bright amidst your neighbours.
