Low voltage luxury LED bulbs GX5.3 GU53

[I Citro]

And in terms of lighting, is it really comparable to a 20W halogen?

For the moment, no led lamp that I have tried has been able to replace my main lighting systems (living room, kitchen, bedroom, hallway ...)

I have led lighting at the head of the bed (base] E14 in version 0.95W and E27 in version 1.2W from Conrad) these two bulbs have a consumption so low that it is not measurable with the PM231 , and in the WC

All are in direct supply in 220VAC without transformer.

That said, I do not rule out changing my point lighting by a larger amount of lighting points as is the case in shops with halogen spots. in my case it would be to put LEDs ... But for now the price of LEDs and their light output does not meet my expectations ...

Edit by modo:

here is a broad choice of GX5.3 or MR16 led bulbs we particularly recommend the model SMD led gx5.3 mr16

I have one to test. On the right it is a Luxeon led bulb warm color 3W MR16 GX5.3. Left 35w halogen
The difference is important. But so does the power. It's up to everyone to see if it suits them.

The 3W Luxeon is on the Right !!!

And the 35W Halogen on the left !!!

You must have been wrong !!! The right lamp looks like a halogen bulb with its semi-transparent dichroic reflector and the left lamp looks more like the Luxeon presented in the shop ...

Uh sorry citro but I think there is an inversion in the title ...

[I Citro]

Yes, I had just reissued my post realizing the error.

You just drew faster than me ...

[Christophe]

Uh, not really faster I saw the post at the beginning of aprem ...

It does not prevent: it is very difficult to realize the lighting capacity by a photo, only a luxmeter (with a "homogeneous" sensitivity) can be judged in my opinion ...

Here are the few tests that I have made on my side: https://www.econologie.com/forums/comparatif ... t4009.html

Yes indeed I did not take into account the renewal of the hallogenic bulbs in the depreciation calculation.

Yes indeed I did not take into account the renewal of the hallogenic bulbs in the depreciation calculation.

So it should be Should also take into account the economic cost to buy these extra bulbs ... as well as the gray energy necessary for their manufacture and distribution ...

Taking all this into account, I am convinced that LEDs quickly become much more profitable ... but ... is profitability that must be sought at all costs?

It's still funny that when it comes to "clean" energy we always try to make profitability calculations while the question never arises in other areas, for example for the purchase of a new car ... undoubtedly one of the worst examples of "non-profitability" ...

Maybe it's time for a change, right?

Hello,
I installed in my kitchen led lamps (48 GU10 leds) white day color 3W (35W equivalent) supplied directly with 220V which light as well as the old 35 W
by cons in the living room, I installed high power leds (not lux) 3W mr16 (35 watt equivalent) and there it illuminates much less is especially the cone of lighting which is much more reduced, when one underneath it's fine but as soon as you step away from the halo it degrades.

Update of the initial message (it has moved a lot, in a good way, since 2007) to present the SMD bulb:

The model SMD GX5.3 MR16 3W lights up like a 35W halogen: https://www.econologie.com/shop/ampoule- ... p-358.html
