Best MR16 LED to date?

[znomit]

Our LED MR16 Delphi's are currently being used to replace 50watt halogens. You can take a look at our showcase gallery to see our customers' installations here:

5W of nichia replaces 50W halogen? Really?
Pics or it didn't happen.

Do you have any lower priced options for shipping? I'd like to try the MR11 but the shipping costs half as much as the light.

How many MR11s did you want to try? I can't imagine the shipping cost being more than $7

Did you browse our showcase section that I linked?

You can see Lucky Chances Casino here that used about 50 of our Delphis in their lobby: http://www.ledwaves.com/Showcase-Lucky-Chances-Casino-sp-97.html

The warm white bulbs you see are our LED PAR38 Pella that replaced 90-100w halogens.

You can also see it here in a Burger King:

The smaller spots are the Delphis and the larger cans on the right are also our PAR38 Pella.

This isn't our Delphi, but if you want to see a close up of our bulbs you can view this showcase: http://www.ledwaves.com/Showcase-PAR-20-Kitchen-Replacement-Bulbs-sp-98.html

This is our PAR20 that replaced his 50W halogens. This customer ended up buying about 100 Par20s after using his kitchen as a test installation. His house runs on solar power and by making the switch, he's actually generating extra electricity that's being dumped back onto the grid. He's actually making some money by doing this. I can't remember the exact amount but I think it was in the $50 range. It's not much, but it beats paying $100-200 a month in electric.

Need to up the price $3-5 on the athens and use R2 instead of Q2 cree. It's not quite worth the $20 difference between itself and the Cornith.

Lowest cost is fedex ground at $11.73 (for a $20.95 item).

Hi Kan, quite honestly the Corinth doesn't sell as well because it's output is only good enough to replace a 15-20W halogen. It does have it's applications.

I believe R&D is working on incorporating the R2's across our product line for a release this winter.

CM, you can email me directly [email protected] with the bulb you want and I will send you a quote to review with the shipping costs.

Have you considered MR16 HID? I bet just one of these babies is all you'll need for forward lighting.

Then put regular MR16 led on the sides as parking lights or just accent lights.

ledwaves,

It looks like you've got a nice set of MR16 LED bulbs there, but I think my point from earlier in the thread is still relevant, especially when using these bulbs on a vehicle.

How will your higher-output models perform in an enclosed housing? It seems like the heatskink needs outside air, so any type of weather-proof enclosure would rapidly cause the bulbs to overheat. Also, I'm not clear on exactly how strict the MR16 specification is, but it seems like the heatsink might also make the bulb too large to fit within some enclosures.

Your bulbs are probably well suited for indoor lighting needs, but I'm guessing that people looking for vehicle lighting should skip the MR16 style assemblies for now.

mboni,

We also do not recommend using our bulbs in an enclosed housing. We only have one bulb suitable for outdoor use which would be our PAR38 Arcadia. This is also not recommended in an enclosed fixture but I've had feedback of some people putting them in their landscape lights with no problems.

The size issue has only been a problem once and it's for the Westin hotel. We're working on a custom housing to fit their fixtures.
