<br>A multifaceted reflector (typically abbreviated MR) light bulb is a reflector housing format for halogen as well as some LED and fluorescent lamps. MR lamps have been initially designed for use in slide projectors, but see use in residential lighting and retail lighting as well. They're suited to applications that require directional lighting reminiscent of monitor lighting, recessed ceiling lights, desk lamps, pendant fixtures, landscape [EcoLight lighting](https://mantenya.co.jp/%e5%93%81%e7%9b%ae2/), retail display lighting, and bicycle headlights. MR lamps are designated by symbols similar to MR16 the place the diameter is represented by numerals indicating items of eighths of an inch. Frequent sizes for general lighting are MR11 (11⁄8 inches, 35 mm) and MR16 (16⁄8 inches, fifty one mm), with MR8 (8⁄8 inch, 25 mm) and MR20 (20⁄8 inches, sixty four mm) utilized in specialty purposes. Many run on low voltage reasonably than mains voltage alternating present so require a power supply. 3,314,331 for a miniature reflector lamp in 1967. The innovation was utilizing the lamp rim, moderately than the bottom, as the reference aircraft for focusing.<br>

<br>This allowed extra flexible electrical mounting arrangements and more exact focusing. Most MR lamps encompass a halogen capsule (or, bulb) integrated with a pressed glass reflector with a base conforming to bi-pin GU5.3 customary. The reflector controls the route and spread of mild cast from the lamp. Some lamps use an aluminum coating as a reflector. Others use selective dichroic coating that displays seen gentle and permits infrared radiation to cross by way of. This kind reduces heating of illuminated objects since much less infrared radiation is present in the sunshine beam. Nevertheless, dichroic lamps should solely be used in suitable fixtures that may dissipate the heat. [Dichroic lamps](https://www.deer-digest.com/?s=Dichroic%20lamps) should not be fitted to recessed or enclosed luminaires with the IEC 60598 No Cool Beam symbol. The brightness of MR lamps could be adjusted when used with appropriate mild fixtures and dimmers. Nevertheless, the coloration temperature adjustments considerably when the lamp is dimmed, shifting dramatically to the warmer end of the spectrum.<br>

<br>Like all halogen lamps, MR lamps produce significant heat and care must be taken to keep away from contact with pores and skin or proximity to flammable supplies when the lamp is on or has been on recently. Halogen lamps (18 lm/W typical) are extra energy efficient than common incandescent lamps (15 lm/W typical) however nonetheless fall far behind other extra-current varieties comparable to fluorescent lamps (80-a hundred lm/W), gas discharge lamps (100-200 lm/W depending on sorts), and LEDs (125-a hundred and fifty lm/W typical in bright white relying on model). With each varieties of incandescent bulbs, helpful life can be significantly shortened if their filaments expertise mechanical shock or [EcoLight](http://wiki.die-karte-bitte.de/index.php/T10_Heat_White_LED_Bulb_Set_Of_2) vibration. Using an digital transformer with a tender begin feature can significantly lengthen life, as it reduces the characteristically high inrush present that happens initially when the lamp is cold. Dimming additionally [extends](https://www.purevolume.com/?s=extends) life considerably. MR lamps, like all quartz-halogen lamps, produce some undesirable ultraviolet light. Usually, this must be filtered out.<br>

<br>Additionally, the quartz capsules of the lamps might rupture or explode upon failure of the lamps. For these two reasons, some MR lamps include a cover glass that serves as an integrated ultraviolet filter and explosion shield. MR16 lamps missing this cover require using a fixture that incorporates an exterior piece of glass particularly designed to supply both ultraviolet and physical protection. MR lamps are available in 10-seventy five watt power ratings (150-800 lumens). MR lamps most frequently operate at 12 volts, though they are additionally obtainable in other voltages. These lamps use a bi-pin connector for energy: 12-volt MR11 bulbs usually use a GU4 base, and 12-volt MR16 bulbs normally use a GU5.Three base. The common 12-volt MR16 lamps, due to this fact, require a ferromagnetic or electronic transformer-typically misnamed as a ballast-to transform the 120- or 230-volt mains voltage to the extra-low voltage required by the lamp. Certain MR lamps can operate directly on the mains voltage. These lamps typically use a GU10 flip-and-lock base, so that they can't be unintentionally interchanged with low-voltage lamps.<br>

<br>GU10 is distinguished from the decrease-voltage MR lamps by the U-formed ceramic base mount with a 10 mm (pin center-to-center distance) 2-pin bayonet mount. MR16 lamps with an built-in transformer are additionally obtainable. These lamps have screw bases to fit commonplace medium-base Edison sockets. MR lamps are generally obtainable in vary of colour temperatures, from about 2700 Ok to 7000 Okay, to fulfill varied functions. Retrofit lamps that generate mild by a distinct principle but makes use of the MR type-factor are available. For instance, LED-primarily based MR16 lamps seem similar to halogen lamps and will be used in most fixtures designed for MR lamps. The same is true of MR11-compatible LED lamps. Fixtures designed for halogen MR16 or MR11 lamps that use electronic transformers might must be retrofitted with LED-suitable transformers. There is a large number of designs, various significantly with regard to beam width, light colour, effectivity and luminous energy.<br>
