Customer Review

I was looking for a replacement for halogen lamps for a rail system on the ceiling. For this LED spots are definitely not a proper substitute. The problem is that of cooling the electronics, the housing is made of ceramic.
In conventional halogen spotlights this is made of glass, and thus transparent. The actual viewing angle of a conventional spots is therefore substantially greater than 36 ° - he just lights up a bit to the side and to the rear, whereby the lampshade and the rear surface appears bright. The LED spots lacking this property simply. You really only light 36 ° forward, so that the room is only selectively illuminated, the rest remains dark.

The Philips Corepro LEDs on the edge in a dark shade of yellow, which I did not find that great. The light color of the center was okay and can certainly compete with normal halogen lamps. Because of these properties may be used for effective illumination of pictures or the like they might.

I had tried the MR16 LEDs of MAILUX that did not have the yellow border and subjectively also appeared a bit brighter - sideways or backwards it was here but also dark.
From other often-reported flickering lights or buzzing transformers I can not confirm. Have both lamp types both in a 5flamigen Paulmann rail system as well as in a 4flamigen NoName system (nearly 14 years old) tried (each all lamps with LEDs fitted).

Since both producers could not convince me, all LEDs declined. I'll probably have to wait a while until the MR16 versions find an equivalent replacement.
