Know before you buy
As you dim the light, the color temperature automatically shifts from a bright 2700K down to a soft, candle-like 1800K. This mimics the behavior of traditional incandescent bulbs, allowing you to transition from task lighting to a cozy, relaxed atmosphere.
Yes, this bulb uses a standard GU5.3 base, which is the industry standard for MR16 fixtures. However, please ensure your fixture is compatible with a 12V AC power supply.
A CRI of 92 indicates high color accuracy, meaning colors in your space will appear vibrant and true to life. This is particularly beneficial for kitchens, bathrooms, or areas where you want textures and finishes to look their best.
A 36-degree beam angle is considered a medium flood, making it ideal for general accent lighting or highlighting specific features like artwork or shelving. It provides a focused pool of light without being as narrow as a spotlight.
Because this bulb uses dim-to-warm technology, it performs best with an LED-compatible dimmer switch. We recommend checking your dimmer's compatibility list to ensure smooth, flicker-free transitions across the full dimming range.
This bulb is rated for 36,000 hours of use. If used for several hours a day, you can expect it to last for many years, and it is backed by a limited lifetime warranty for added peace of mind.
