LED INSTALLATIONS

Most Halco ProLED MR16 lamps have an operating voltage range of 10-18 volts AC. Please verify the lamp’s allowable voltage range listed on the product packaging. Operating ProLED MR16 lamps with voltage greater than its specified range may damage the internal components of the LED and voids the manufacturer warranty. ProLED lamps maintain light output, full color, and instant start capabilities to temperatures down to -20 degrees Celsius. ProLED MR16 lamps will operate at the desired light output with voltage down to the lower listed voltage and up to the higher listed voltage, providing balanced light output from the fixture located closest to the transformer to the fixture located furthest from the transformer.
