Low-Voltage LED Spotlight 12V with Pin-Base GU5.3

These are alongside the familiar light bulb the biggest "electricity guzzlers".
The level of efficiency (luminous efficacy rating) is not noticeably better than
of the light bulb. It is just the MR16 design which is still in use as halogen
lamps and could be exchanged without compromising immediately against
LED spots. The energy saving is about 80%.

GU5.3 is called the 12V socket variant for the design of MR16 spots. These are built-in spots, now in LED version, with 50mm diameter and the base shown here consisting of two thin pins. The LED spotlight is plugged into the 12V socket by simply pressing it.

This low-voltage version (12V) already contains a constant current source in a small housing. However, an additional LED transformer is required to convert the 230V to 12V.
