Compatibility & Installation Notes
Confirm an MR16 bi-pin socket, adequate clearance, and a compatible low-voltage transformer. Account for 9.3 VA per lamp when planning the load, along with other connected lamps. Verify dimmer compatibility before replacing an existing lamp. Disconnect power before installation.
The current Legacy cut sheet specifies damp locations and totally enclosed luminaires. Keep the lamp in a suitable protective fixture; do not use it underwater. The beam angle is fixed and is not an interchangeable-optic selection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which beam angle should I choose?
Choose 15° for a narrow highlight, 30° for a broader spot, 60° for wider coverage, or 120° for a broad wash. Each lamp has a fixed beam, so select the angle before ordering.
How do the three white color temperatures differ?
2700K gives a warmer appearance, 3000K provides a slightly less warm white, and 5700K gives a cool daylight appearance. Match existing lamps when expanding a lighting system.
How bright is the 8W Legacy MR16?
The 8W lamp is rated at 800 lumens in 2700K, 820 lumens in 3000K, and 870 lumens in 5700K. Choose color temperature and beam angle together to suit the feature.
Will it work in my low-voltage landscape fixture?
Check that the fixture accepts an MR16 bi-pin lamp and has enough clearance. The Legacy operates at 8–25 VAC/DC and is dimmable with compatible controls. Use it in a suitable damp-location fixture; IP61 does not mean submersible.
Why Buy from Big Frog Supply?
