About the Sylvania Tru-Aim Tru-Aim Series
Sylvania Tru-Aim MR16 lamps feature a dichroic facetted reflector that directs heat rearward — keeping the beam cool. The covered (coated) front glass provides UV protection and maintains consistent color throughout lamp life.
Beam Guide — Choosing the Right Spread
- Narrow Spot (NSP 10°–12°): Tight accent beam — ideal for spotlighting specific objects, jewelry, and featured merchandise at long throw distances.
- Narrow Flood (NFL 25°): Versatile mid-range beam — excellent for wall washing, display cases, and general retail accent lighting.
- Flood (FL 35°–40°): Broad accent beam — suitable for general retail fill lighting and recessed downlight applications.
- Wide Flood / Very Wide Flood (WFL/VWFL 60°): Maximum spread — best for ambient illumination, wide display areas, and architectural lighting.
Compatible Applications
- General retail fill lighting
- Commercial display lighting
- Track & recessed fixture applications
Important Safety & Installation Notes
- 12V Transformer Required: This is a low-voltage lamp operating at 12V. It must be used with a compatible 12V electronic or magnetic transformer. Do not connect directly to 120V/230V mains.
- No Bare Hands: Never touch the bulb envelope or reflector interior with bare skin. Oils cause hot spots and premature failure. Use clean gloves or a lint-free cloth.
- Enclosed Fixtures: Use only in approved fixtures rated for MR16 halogen lamps. Do not use in open, unenclosed luminaires unless specifically rated for open use.
- Extreme Heat Warning: MR16 lamps operate at very high temperatures. Allow to cool completely before handling or relamping.
- UV Output: Covered (C) versions include a front glass that filters UV. Open-face (B/Brillant) versions emit more UV — avoid prolonged direct exposure to skin and UV-sensitive materials.
