Track Lighting and Specialized Lighting

No matter how passionate you are about energy conservation, you would not want to put a CF lamp in certain places, such as near your collection of original art. These expensive pieces require  only low-voltage, high-density MR-16 arc lamps. Places like jewelry and watch shops also prefer these miniature spotlights to give clear, sharp lighting on small objects in display cabinets.

Bright lamps filled with MR-16 halogen gas are designed with customized internal reflectors which direct the light to flood one direction. Operating on 12V, MR-16 bulbs need a transformer that comes with the fixture in order to drop the 120V household electric supply. The MR-16 lamp’s low wattage is comparable to bigger CF lamps, so they are just as efficient in certain applications.
