How long do MR16 lamps burn for?
The answer to this question depends more on the type of MR16 you are using rather than the bulb's shape. The exception to this is whether or not you are using a low-voltage MR16 versus a line voltage MR16. Broadly speaking halogen bulbs, the most common type of MR16, last anywhere from 2,000 - 10,000hrs; LEDs last anywhere from 35,000 - 100,000hrs; and metal halides last anywhere from 15,000- 20,000 hrs. These are three most common bulb types for MR16s and determine how long the MR16 lasts.

Where can someone find information about LED MR16?
LED MR16 is a type of light bulb. These can be purchased from Amazon and more information about them can also be found here. This information includes the price, size and voltage. Alternatively, a local hardware store would be able to provide more information about these bulbs.
How does the lumen output change as wattage increases for an MR16 bulb?
Generally the lumen output of bulbs is proportional to the power used, if the bulbs are operated at their rated voltage.
How to change an MR16 bulb fast?
You will need pliers to remove the wire strip that keeps the light in the socket, then remove the lens. Carefully remove the bulb making sure there is not power in the light then replaces the bulb and reattach the lens and wire.
I have 1 x 1.8Watt MR16 led lamp on a 50 watt wire wound transformer the lamps are failing within 10 days can you please answer?

Can't find a JCDR-C 120v 50w halide replacement bulb for photography device. Base needs two prong bulb. Can I put a MR16 type halogen lamp bulb in the device?
No you cannot use a standard mr-16 12volt bulb as it will short right when you turn it on. They do sell them but you have to look up 120V mr-16 JCDR or JCDR-C.
What type of wires get hot im basically making a small stove made of wires and batteries?
My advice would be to take a different approach and use 12v light bulbs. The filament is a wire. You can purchase them in the low-voltage lighting section of your hardware store, or go to an electrical distributor. I would use a 50mr16. You can also buy a mr16 socket which can be hooked to your battery array. ** caution ** this will get very hot, very quickly so please be careful.
What is lumen output for a 250w halogen?
Halogen lamps run hotter than conventional incandescents, and as a result of their hotter filaments, emit a whiter light with more of the light in the visible range, and less in the infrared. A typical 50W halogen emits between 800 and 950 lumens.
