The EmeryAllen EA-MR16-7.0W-36D-DTW-2718-D is a directional MR16 LED lamp with a GU5.3 bi-pin connection for compatible 12V AC systems. Its 36° beam provides 475 lumens with 6.27W published consumption. With compatible dimming equipment, the light warms from approximately 2700K toward 1800K as brightness decreases. Match the socket, transformer, controls and physical clearance before ordering.
Key Features
- 475-lumen published output in 1800K–2700K dim-to-warm light.
- GU5.3 bi-pin base with 12V AC input.
- 7W model designation; 6.27W published consumption.
- 92 CRI for color rendering.
- Focused 36° beam for directional lighting.
- Ceramic and polycarbonate construction.
Common Uses
Compatible 12V AC GU5.3 fixtures for accent, task, recessed or landscape lighting where a focused 36° beam and dim-to-warm behavior suit the design. Landscape use requires a suitable protective fixture.

Compatibility & Installation Notes
Match the exact GU5.3 socket, 12V AC supply and lamp clearance. Turn power off and allow the old lamp to cool before replacement. Compare lumens with the fixture’s recommended original lamp; do not select a brighter LED solely because its electrical wattage is lower. Use a magnetic transformer or LED-compatible no-load/low-load electronic transformer. A halogen transformer may not operate correctly at the reduced LED load. For dimming, match an MLV or ELV dimmer to the transformer type. Damp-location and enclosed-fixture suitability still require the fixture’s protection and the manufacturer’s thermal guidance. Keep the bulb protected from direct water exposure. This dim-to-warm version changes color with dimming; it does not provide independently selectable fixed color temperatures.This exact MR16 requires 12V AC and a GU5.3 bi-pin socket. A GU10 connection is different. Check the beam aim, 2-inch lamp diameter and overall fixture clearance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does dim-to-warm work?
With compatible dimming equipment, the light becomes warmer as output decreases, moving from approximately 2700K toward 1800K.
What socket and voltage does it need?
It uses a GU5.3 connection and 12V AC input. Do not connect it directly to 120V.
What controls should I check?
Use an LED-compatible magnetic or no-load/low-load electronic transformer and an MLV or ELV dimmer matched to the transformer type. Check operation at the reduced LED load.
How do I check the fit?
Compare the GU5.3 connection, 2-inch overall length and 2-inch diameter with the fixture. Also confirm the 36° beam suits the intended aim and coverage.
Why Buy from Big Frog Supply?
Choose the MR16 7W-class dim-to-warm lamp when a 12V AC GU5.3 fixture needs a focused 36° beam. Its 475-lumen specification and 2700K-to-1800K dimming transition suit adjustable accent or landscape lighting. Check the 2-inch diameter, fixture clearance and transformer/dimmer match before replacing a fixed-color MR16.
