Is there any trick to installing Neco LEDs?

No. Neco LEDs MR16's are installed in exactly the same manner as a regular halogen lamp. Be sure to ensure the halogen lamp you are replacing is cool before removing it, and keep the power switched off for safety reasons.

Can Neco MR16 LED lamps be dimmed?

Yes, the Neco MR16 LED can be dimmed using a Clipsal universal dimmer when wired to an iron core transformer. Up to 6 may be used on the one transformer. Other transformers may also work.  Unfortunately the Neco GU10 LED cannot be dimmed at this stage.

Do Neco MR16 LED lamps require a special transformer?

No. The Neco MR16 LED lamp will work with most transformers on the Australian market. In our testing, the Neco MR16 LED lamp works with most Osram, Clipsal, Nelson, Luxman and Crompton electronic transformers. They do not work with Tridonic transformers. For new home or business installations, we recommend GU10 fittings.

What is wattage?

The wattage of a lamp determines the amount of electricity it uses. The higher the wattage, the more electricity consumed. However, wattage on its own is not a measure of brightness. Wattage is different to voltage. Low voltage does not mean low wattage.

What is colour temperature?

Colour temperature refers to the warmth or coldness of the light produced by the lamp, measured in Kelvin (K). Lamps producing a warm or yellow light have a low Kelvin (2700-3000K), while lamps producing a white or blue light have a higher Kelvin (3500-6500K). The ideal colour temperature is dependent on the application.

How do you measure the brightness of a lamp?

There are a number of different measures to determine the brightness of a lamp. In simple terms, Lumens  refers to the light output by a lamp in all directions; Candela refers to the light output by a lamp in a single direction; and Lux is candelas at a certain distance. Lux is the most appropriate measure when comparing LED downlights (for reference, a 50W halogen lamp has a lux of 800cd).
