The lumen output of all Austeknis products is the output stated by the manufacturer, with the appropriate driver in ideal conditions.
Austeknis lights use components that are rated at approximately 50,000 hours lifespan as stated by the LED component manufacturer. The maximum life of 50,000 hours is obtained primarily by optimal
running conditions, including low temperature, good ventilation as well as using correct LED specific DC Transformers in conjunction with the MR16 connection type globes. LED Lifespan can be greatly reduced from 50,000 hours when not run in appropriate conditions.
MR16 LED Light globes require DC constant voltage LED compatible transformers to run successfully. Please be aware your existing transformers may not work as desired with LED. Contact us to confirm correct use from our range of compatible transformers. Austeknis will not accept responsibility for consumers that purchase MR16 LED globes that are not compatible with their existing transformers, no refunds will be offered.
