Reliability
Designed and built with the highest level of components available today, including industry leading CREE LED’s, this UL approved product is produced in a world class manufacturing environment to the highest level of quality standards to assure a minimum of 50,000 hour bulb life, more than 20 times the life of standard Halogen bulbs.
Thermal Management
A hidden advantage of this bulb is its highly efficient thermal management system.
Worldwide Installation
The iMR-16 LED bulb has been designed as a 12 volt product allowing this product to be installed in virtually any country in the world!
Dimmable LED
Another key advantage of the iMR-16 program is its ability to dim throughout the power range with virtually any dimmer on the market today!
Beam color and angles
Designed for accent lighting applications the iMR-16 is available in 2700, 3000 and 4300 Kelvin and comes in a variety of beam angles including a 11.5, 16, 22, and 30 degree. In addition, each bulb optic has been designed to provide superior beam conformation, peripheral lighting and intense Center Beam saturation to create a truly superior high powered accent light as well as room filling lighting coverage.
MSi has brought yet another high quality LED replacement lamp to market. Their iMR-16 kicks out 400 lumens and is fully dimmable! Finally, a the output needed to replace a 35w Halogen MR16.

Macy’s Goes Green with MSi LEDs
MSi Deploys Cypress LED Controllers in Macy’s Stores
By Macy has decided to replace around 117,000 traditional incandescent light bulbs in 86 stores within its chain, with new LED lamps. The new lamps use around 73 percent less energy in comparison to the traditional incandescent light bulbs, and installing the new lamps will help Macy in saving around 16,200 megawatts per hour every year, which is equal to plant over 65,500 trees in terms of energy conservation. While the traditional bulbs have an expected life of less than one year, the LED lamps offer uninterrupted services for around 10 years and also cut down the landfill disposal considerably.
“Many retailers are a little concerned about the initial investment of converting to LED lighting,” commented said Bruce Johnson, managing partner at MSi. “But if they take the time to run the numbers as Macy’s has, they’ll see that switching over produces a tremendous return on their investment.”
As more and more enterprise and retail customers worldwide have been adopting the LED lamps, Cypress provides a wide range of lighting solutions that enable the users in controlling the way their LED lamps function. These solutions comprise of stand-alone AC-DC Power Controllers for LED retrofits, and PowerPSoC, a programmable power controller that integrates onboard power regulation and power drive with a microcontroller capable of 16-bit dimming to full custom color mixing, and offers enhanced levels of intelligent integration. The company has developed temperature or optical feedback algorithms, which can be incorporated with selected designs to reduce the design time by several weeks’ duration. Additionally, it provides communication resources such as wireless and Powerline solutions as an alternative to expensive rewiring.
“It’s exciting to see our technology deliver significant benefits in a major project such as Macy’s retrofit,” said Brian Moody, director of Marketing for PowerPSoC business at Cypress. “As more companies see the tangible benefits of LED lighting, we can see a ‘snowball effect’ leading to significant growth in which we are well positioned to participate.”
In September 2010, Cypress Semiconductor announced that it released a new CapSense capacitive touch-sensing controller that will help designers to attain mechanical button replacement without the need to code new firmware or learn new software.

MSi iPAR-38 LED with Powerband Technology
Powerband™ Technology
This proprietary feature allows the flexibility of producing light outputs based on 10 watts, 12 watts or 16 watts, with a simple twist of the band. This will create lumen outputs of 550 lumens, 650 lumens or 800 lumens respectively. Now you can optimize your lighting design both in terms of light output as well as light energy savings, and all with one unique bulb!
Proprietary Intelligent Communication (PIC)
This patent pending feature allows the bulb to communicate via a sophisticated electronic light wave pattern, information such as, manufacturing information, installation information, hours of use and wattage settings. This is especially important due to the extremely long bulb life, but also can play a key role in overall energy evaluation, maintenance and design.
Efficiency
Led technology saves up to 80% of the light energy cost of current 75 watt Halogen bulbs. In addition, the iPAR-38 unique construction provides the Center Beam power that truly creates a lighting experience previously unattainable in this technology.
Reliability
Designed and built with the highest level of components available today, including industry leading CREE LED’s, this UL approved product is produced in a world class manufacturing environment to the highest level of quality standards to assure a minimum of 50,000 hour bulb life, more than 20 times the life of standard Halogen bulbs.
Thermal Management
A hidden advantage of this bulb is its highly efficient thermal management system. With operating temperatures at 50% less than Halogen bulbs, this bulb not only saves on lighting energy costs, but also reduces air conditioning costs due to the drastic heat reduction. Validated testing has conclusively proven that for every 1 watt of light energy saved, a 1/2 watt of secondary air conditioning savings is also achieved.
Worldwide Installation
The iPAR-38 LED bulb has been designed with a universal voltage power supply of 85 volts to 265 volts with an onboard power management system allowing this product to be installed in virtually any country in the world!
Dimmable LED
Another key advantage of the iPAR-38 program is its ability to dim throughout the power range with virtually any dimmer on the market today!
Beam color and angles
Designed for accent lighting applications the iPAR-38 is available in both 2700 and 3000 Kelvin and comes in a variety of beam angles including a 10 degree spot, a 16 degree wide spot and a 22.5 degree narrow flood. In addition, each bulb optic has been designed to provide superior beam conformation, peripheral lighting and intense Center Beam saturation to create a truly superior high powered accent light as well as room filling lighting coverage.
