Stanyl® TC delivers sustainable solution for LED MR16 retrofit lamp

Philips, the world’s leading producer of energy-efficient lighting solutions, introduced a new LED lamp with a difference. Based on a joint development with DSM, the Philips MASTER LED MR16 retrofit lamp is the first high-power LED application in which the aluminum cover is replaced with a thermally conductive plastic – Stanyl – to control the heat. Stanyl also offers the additional benefits of flexibility in design, exceptional durability and weight reduction. Going forward, this sustainable solution may be applied across Philips’ LED retrofit lamp range.

Sustainable lamp, quality light
The Philips MASTER LED MR16 is a 4W LED replacement for the popular low-voltage halogen spot lamp. With light output equivalent to that of 20W Halogen MR16 lamps, it offers the key benefits of up to 80% energy saving and a 40-times longer lifetime. MASTER LED MR 16 employs three Philips Lumileds Luxeon Rebel LEDs and is available in both 2700K (true warm white) and 3000K (warm white) colors. Its target markets are the professional (hospitality) segments in Europe, Asia and North America.

Design flexibility a distinguishing factor
Philips wanted to create a new product that would stand out in the marketplace. To this end, it was looking for a material that would deliver superior heat management while at the same time offering greater design flexibility and the same or improved product performance.
