eW MR
Compact MR16 LED lamp for high-quality, uniform white light
eW® MR is a compact, white-light LED lamp for MR16 fixtures and sockets. Its standard GU5.3 base
and MR16 two-pin connectors makes eW MR the perfect replacement for less energy-efficient, hotter,
conventional lamps. eW MR offers superior quality and uniformity of light, resulting from our many years
of LED lighting development expertise and our proprietary binning optimization process, Optibin ®, which
ensures consistent performance from fixture to fixture.
• Two beam angles — Available in 10° and 25°
beam angles for a range of spot and narrow flood
applications.
• Compatible with most MR16 fixtures and sockets
— With its standard GU5.3 base and two-pin
MR16 connector, eW MR is compatible with many
MR16 tracks, rails, cables, and pendant fixtures in
a variety of interior settings.
• Works with standard magnetic transformers —
Like conventional MR16 lamps, eW MR can be
powered by standard magnetic transformers and
many electronic transformers. Its low power draw
maximizes the number of fixtures that can be
installed in a single circuit.
• Superior quality and uniformity of light — eW MR
lamps deliver uniform beam quality with no hot
spots or unevenness. You can enjoy superior light
quality simply by plugging our eW MR lamps into
your standard MR16 fixtures.
• Safe, durable light source — As an LED light
source, eW MR illuminates without emitting
infrared or UV rays that can damage objects,
degrade materials, or fade paints and dyes, making
it ideal for use in art galleries, museums, and retail
displays. Its long lifetime (50,000 hours to 70%
lumen maintenance) significantly reduces total cost
of operation and ownership.
Planet Burrito, a progressive restaurant chain in Dallas,
Texas, uses simple white LED lamps from Philips Color
Kinetics for all of its track and spot fixtures. The lamps’
long source life and low energy consumption perfectly suit
the restaurant’s green lighting design..
Warm and Cool Color
Temperatures
Available in two color
temperatures, a warm 2700 K
appropriate for intimate,
open environments, such as
restaurants and boutiques,
and a cool 4200 K for clean
and efficient lighting ideal for
merchandise and museum
displays.

Installation Guidelines
Owner / User Responsibilities
It is the responsibility of the contractor, installer, purchaser, owner, and user to
install, maintain, and operate eW MR fixtures in such a manner as to comply with all
applicable codes, state and local laws, ordinances, and regulations. Consult with the
appropriate electrical inspector to ensure compliance.
Planning Your Installation

Like conventional MR lamps, eW MR LED lamps plug directly into compatible MR16
fixtures. eW MR lamps are compatible with many MR16 fixtures, Keep the following
considerations in mind as you evaluate the compatibility of a fixture:
• eW MR is intended for use in dry locations only.

• Verify that eW MR fits your MR16 fixtures before installation.
• Because eW MR lamps weigh more than traditional MR16 lamps, and can loosen
with use and vibration, we recommend MR16 fixtures and lamp holders that have
locking devices.
• eW MR requires adequate ventilation around the lamp housing to ensure peak
performance and life expectancy. Use in sealed fixtures and recessed fixtures,
therefore, is not recommended, Use within small enclosures is recommended only
if the enclosed space is adequately vented or cooled.
• eW MR has an integral primary optic to focus the light. If possible, remove any
protective lenses from your MR16 fixtures before installation.
• MR16 fixtures use electronic or magnetic transformers that are either integral
to each fixture or remotely located. Remotely located transformers can power
a group of fixtures, tracks, cables, or rails. Make sure that the total power
consumption of eW MR lamps on a circuit does not exceed the rated output of
the transformer powering the circuit.
• Because of its low power consumption of only 5.5 watts, eW MR is not
compatible with electronic transformers that require a minimum load of more
than 5.5 watts to operate properly.

Install the Fixtures
Before installing eW MR lamps, make sure that all MR16 fixtures,
transformers, switches, and dimmers have been properly installed
and wired.
Make sure the power is OFF before installing eW MR lamps.
1. Plug the eW MR lamps into the MR16 fixtures.
2. Turn the power ON.
