Product Information
Full details
The Paulmann 28792 LED Reflector Lamp in Silver/White is designed for users seeking an energy-efficient, directional light source that can replace traditional halogen reflectors. Its key benefit is focused, warm white illumination with integrated 3-step dimming, controllable via a standard light switch. A potential caveat is its 'G' energy efficiency rating, which is lower than some newer LED standards. This lamp offers a focused beam thanks to its internal mirrors, making it ideal for spotlights and accent lighting, with a lifespan of up to 15,000 hours.
