This is a special model—physically MR11-sized (35 mm diameter) but with a GU5.3 base, making it suitable for fixtures that use a GU5.3 holder but require a smaller bulb than the standard MR16. Consuming only 2.5W and providing a warm 3000K light, it is ideal for ambient lighting, small spotlights, and chandeliers. It operates on 12V low voltage and is compatible with both magnetic and electronic transformers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGU5.3 base, MR11 size (35 mm diameter).
