Since the NSW subsidy deal for swapping halogen downlight to LED, I've been wanting to jump on board only to realise the dimmable LEDs cost extra ($10 each), hence been looking at options that I can minimise cost.

Checked Pricehipster for lowest cost options and found these to be on sale at $9.40 (apparently they are at this price every now and then). It seems like a fair price for a dimmable LED MR16 (other options seem to be >$10/light).

Please do note that MR16 LED may not be compatible with all transformers, although good thing is that Bunnings usually allow returns as long as the packaging is cleanly cut on one side only and stapled back.

To maximise savings, you can pay with Bunnings gift card purchased at Woolworths with your discounted WISH eGiftCards.

Cheers.

    Only problem with mr16 is that they still require transformers. Hence why i switched all my sockets to GU10

        what do you mean by master version of philips? Thanks

        • abc xyz on 03/06/2018 - 20:16

          if you google up, normally you see “master” version vs. “classic” version. The ones that you see in woolworths these days are the classic version, although they used to sell the master version (white casing) - and where i bought them last time. I believe the one Op post is the master version too. You probably see the black casing when you search in google. Hope it helps.

          this is the master version as example https://www.bunnings.com.au/philips-8w-670lm-cool-white-dimm…

    I got a dozen if these lamps (7w) 3yrs ago at double the price. The light that it produces is very good especially this new version is even brighter compared to the 460lumen bulb that i have.

    It's a good lamp, just note the ventilation holes allow ceiling air to circulate through - probably not very good for insulation.

  • zzyss on 03/06/2018 - 11:21

    How are these different from the Master series? Seems brighter? (Master is 7W)

      I'm guessing Philips might be restructuring its branding and updating its lineup? Philips' AU website has updated its Master LEDspot designs, and no longer listing the Master 7W (the ones that you are referring to). (https://www.assets.lighting.philips.com/is/content/PhilipsLi… lol, updated 31st May 2018)

      These non-Master branded LED has similar rated life-span as the "old" Master range i.e. 25000 hr.

      Really just my guess though, it'd be great if somebody that's got supplier knowledge can help clarify.

    Has anyone blocked the vent holes on these somehow?
    Noticed not all LED MR16's have these vents.
    When I remove the current halogens there is always accumulated debris on top of them.
    Don't want that coming through at will.

    • zrmx on 11/06/2018 - 23:32

      I was sort of worried about that initially, one way I thought of dealing with it may be either cover them with computer dust filter, or with heat-resistant tapes then poke some holes in them with a needle, so it will still sort of let air through but less area for dust. Although I don't know whether that'll still defeat the purpose of the vents and I haven't tried that method out due to laziness lol.
