Lamps & Retrofits

MR16 LED Landscape Bulbs

LED retrofits can look excellent — but only when beam spread, color temperature, and system voltage are handled with discipline.

Match beam + color Stable voltage Consistent scene Fewer callbacks

What matters most

  • Beam angle: determines how tight or wide the light pattern is.
  • Color temperature: sets the “warmth” of the scene. Consistency across fixtures is a premium look.
  • Voltage discipline: weak runs and corroded splices can cause flicker and uneven output.

Common failure patterns

  • Voltage drop: end-of-line lamps underperform and may behave inconsistently.
  • Corrosion at splices: resistance increases and the system becomes "temperamental" in wet conditions.
  • Mismatched lamps: mixed color temps and beam angles make the scene look patchy.

Service-first retrofit notes

  • Fix power first: if the wiring/splices are unstable, swapping lamps won’t solve flicker.
  • Match the design intent: path lighting and accent lighting often need different beam spreads.
  • Keep the scene consistent: one clean color temperature across a view reads premium.
