| SKU | LTMR5W3K2P |
| Series | N/A |
| Manufacturer | Click (other LEDs from Click) |
| Fitting Type | MR16 (other MR16 LEDs) |
| Light Type | Downlight (PAR) |
| Height | 48mm |
| Diameter | PAR16 (50mm) |
| Weight | 42g |
| Warranty | 1 Years |
| Test Date | 2013-06-17 |
| Review Notes | Luminous flux and color temperature after removing white diffuser: 379 lm, 3085 (Warm White), 81 CRI. No warranty information available, no web site, not dimmable & no list of compatible transformers (and testing showed it doesn't work on several models). Very broad angle LED and reasonable output once diffuser is removed. Was observed to cause some radio and TV interference. There is also a GU10 version of this Click LED. At some point in early 2014 Bunnings did a product recall on these globes, but we don't know the reasons why, or if a new improved version was released. |
| Price | $9.50 (AUD) from Bunnings Warehouse on 15th of June 2013 |

Distribution Graph
Angle: 103° (±51.5° from bottom), Maximum lux:
Graph notes: Shows the intensity of the light when viewed from different angles. Normal omni-directional globes have a fairly constant output all the way around (excepting directly above). Downlights have a narrow range at the bottom in which the light is emmited, this determines their angle.
Spectrum Graph
Graph notes: Shows the breakdown of the LED light into its component colors. With short wavelength ultraviolet on the left and long wavelength infrared on the right. The green line represents the relative absolute strength of the light at each frequency, while the red line represents what the typical human eye would see. The human eye is most sensitive to green light, but much less sensitive to purples and deep reds.
Flicker Graph
Percent: 68%, Index: 0.076 (lower is better in both cases)
Graph notes: Shows variation in light output over 1/10th of a second, with relative light output on the Y axis and time on the X Axis. Measured with a photodiode connected to an Oscilloscope. Ideally the yellow line should be flat. Low frequency high amplitude waveforms mean there is a possibility of noticeable flicker, but sensitivity to flicker varies between people.
