This is a special model — physically MR11 in size (35 mm diameter) but with a GU5.3 base, making it suitable for luminaires that have a GU5.3 holder but require a smaller lamp than the standard MR16. With only 2.5 W of power and a warm 3000K light, it is suitable for ambient lighting, smaller spotlights, and chandeliers.
