FX Luminaire MR-16 Eco LED Landscape Lamp — High-Efficacy GU5.3 Low-Voltage Replacement
The FX Luminaire MR-16 Eco LED Lamp is the professional’s economical choice for bright, efficient landscape illumination. Available in two intensities (6 VA / 9 VA), two beam angles, and two color temperatures, it delivers up to 565 lumens — matching a 50W halogen — at a fraction of the energy cost. The lightweight aluminum housing survives full outdoor exposure, and 30,000-hour L70 lifetime means years of maintenance-free performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the 6W and 9W MR-16 Eco options?
A: The 6W version equals a 35W halogen (375–445 lm) — ideal for most residential path and accent applications. The 9W version equals a 50W halogen (480–565 lm) for larger feature trees, tall walls, or commercial properties requiring more punch.
Q: Is the MR-16 Eco compatible with my existing low-voltage transformer?
A: Yes, as long as your transformer delivers 10–15 VAC or VDC. It is compatible with virtually all low-voltage landscape transformers and the Luxor® LCM-LV zone controller.
Q: What beam angle should I choose for path lights?
A: Wide Flood (60°) is best for path lights to spread light across walkways. Use Flood (30°) for directional accent on specific plants or features.
Q: Can I replace my old halogen MR-16 bulbs with these?
A: Yes. The GU5.3 base is a direct drop-in for existing MR-16 halogen sockets. Check that your transformer voltage is within 10–15V range.
