Downlight - LED - Brightgreen - DR700 - 12Volt - 10.5Watt - Warm White
Designed and manufactured by Brightgreen, a 100% Australian company
Brightgreen is dedicated to designing sustainable products
This is the best, universal, retrofit LED downlight that we have seen, installed & tested
Its lighting performance is outstanding, and no other LED downlight on the market is compatible with more transformers or dimmers
This DR700 will also fit straight into your existing downlight fittings (holders), no matter whether they be fixed or gimbal (tiltable)
It is the most straight forward retrofit LED ever - simply remove your energy-hungry halogen globes and install the Brightgreen DR700
Lifespan of this downlight (at 8 hours use per day) is 23 years, Brightgreen offers a 3 year warranty for all product failures, and will even buy the downlight back from from you when it eventually dies
And its payback period is outstanding - if you use this downlight 8 hours per day you will have recovered its cost (in energy savings) in just 2 years, leaving another 21 years to be 'ahead of the curve'
You can calculate your own payback periods (when replacing your energy-hungry halogens with these DR700s) at http://brightgreen.net.au/retrofit-calculator/
At 10.5Watt, the DR700 has a total light output of 720 lumens, which is the same as an average 50W halogen (according to the Australian Government's Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency)
The Brightgreen DR700 has a light beam (output) width/angle of 60 degrees. Beam width is important beacuse it determines the overall area that the light reaches. Greater width means fewer downlights required
A 60 degree beam covers twice as much as a 45 degree beam and three times more than a 36 degree globe
The DR700 is uniquely designed to be 100% compatible with all halogen-powering electronic- and iron-core transformers in the Australian market
Similarly, it is specifically designed to work with types of dimmers: leading; trailing; and universal. Dimming rates from 0-100% is available on most common model dimmer circuits
Attention business owners in New South Wales (NSW)
The NSW governement, as part of their energy efficiency initiative, currently have very generous rebates available when you upgrade your exisiting, inefficient lighting and install energy efficient downlights like the DR700
Ecovantage is an accredited organisation able to provide rebates to qualifying businesses in NSW
Those rebates range from $15 to $40 per downlight, depending on the specifications and performance of that new installed downlight
For more information on this, please email us at nsw@ecovantage.com.au
Try this downlight - you will not be disappointed. We even offer a 30 day, money-back guarantee

I bought a few of these just to try them out, and am very impressed. All I had to do was remove my halogen bulbs and install these DR700s. Very simple. The LED's lighting performance is excellent, and I look forward to their promised long life and also the savings on my electricity bills.
