12 V MR16 Halogen Spotlight

The Sylvania BAB MR16 is a 20 W halogen bulb designed for 12 V low-voltage fixtures. It fits track, desk and display lighting where a compact GU5.3 two-pin base is required. The 100 CRI output suits retail, museum and medical tasks that demand accurate colour rendering.

2000-hour rated life and flood beam

At 20 W the lamp delivers a broad flood distribution for general accent work. The 2000-hour rating covers typical daily use in commercial or residential settings. Output will diminish after this period, so plan replacement cycles for continuous-operation installations such as supermarket or hotel display cases.

GU5.3 base with front glass lens

The 1.96-inch diameter and 1.77-inch length fit standard MR16 housings without modification. A built-in front glass protects the capsule and simplifies cleaning in dust-prone environments. The two-pin 5.3 mm base ensures a secure connection in compatible low-voltage transformers or drivers.

Questions about this item

Will the 12 V 20 W halogen bulb work with my existing magnetic low-voltage transformer?

The bulb runs on 12 V and draws 20 W, so any magnetic or electronic transformer rated for at least 20 W at 12 V will power it correctly.

How can I confirm the GU5.3 base is making proper contact after installation?

When the two pins are fully seated in the GU5.3 socket the lamp lights instantly at full brightness with no flicker, confirming a solid electrical connection.

Does the package include the front-glass flood lens or must I order it separately?

The bulb ships with the integral front-glass flood lens already fitted; no separate lens or accessory is required for operation.
