MR11 Bulb FAQs

What does MR11 mean?

The MR11 designation is actually made up of the two main features of the bulb. MR is short for “multifaceted reflector,” which describes the bulb’s housing and is responsible for its ability to direct light in specific directions and beam angles. The number 11 refers to the bulb’s widest diameter, which is measured in 1/8-inch increments. At 11/8 inches, the MR11 bulb’s diameter is 1.375 inches.

Are MR11 LEDs energy efficient?

Similar to other LED bulbs , the MR11 is an energy-efficient bulb. The lineup above shows MR11 bulbs with the highest wattage output at 40 watts, which puts their lifespan at around 30,000 hours. You can easily extend the lifespan of these bulbs by setting a schedule for your system so that the lights are only on when it’s dark outside. Even with their low wattage, these bulbs can still effectively highlight notable features of your space without burning a hole in your utility bill.

Is it easy to install MR11 bulbs?

The bi-pin power setup of these bulbs makes them easy to add to any system. Simply plug them into a corresponding fixture and you’re ready to go. However, be careful not to bend the pins that power the bulb. Doing so can affect it in numerous ways, from lower or even flickering light output to breaking the bulb even before it’s even used. For additional safety, turn off your system and wear electrical gloves to protect yourself from potential surges when installing the bulb.

What’s the difference between a traditional LED bulb and MR11 LEDs?

Most LED bulbs excel in energy efficiency and overall light output. While a traditional LED bulb illuminates the space around it, an MR11 bulb is best suited for highlighting specific parts of your outdoor space with directional light. For instance, you can use a small batch of MR11 LEDs to illuminate a winding walkway or to showcase a series of notable trees or statues in the yard.

How should I dispose of an MR11 bulb?

MR11 bulbs, just like their LED counterparts, don’t need to go straight to the trash at the end of their service. You can recycle light bulbs, most notably LEDs, because the small metals and microchips inside can be reused in other materials and devices. See if your local hardware store or municipality offers bulb recycling services. If neither option is available, consider getting a recycling kit online and using it to give your LED bulbs a second life.
