Will this socket and wire accommodate 50 watt MR 16 bulbs (apron 4 amps)

I have not used 50 watt bulbs but have 20 and 30 watt bulbs and believe that the 50 should work. I'm assuming the MR 16 is the bulb with the two small nail-like connectors. The fixture should be the determining factor. The socket should work with whatever fits the plug in arrangement.

I used this socket on a MR 16 LED lamp so I would think it handle a 50W MR16 but not certain of how it may react to the additional heat.

According to the socket stamp it is rated for 250 volts and 100 watts. I' running 10 watt, 20 watt, and 40 watt MR 16s and G4s without any problems.

What size is your socket? If a regular incandescent bulb fits, this should fit.

The socket is hard wired to the hood, so while possible to retrofit for a 400 watt bulb/ballast, it would be cheaper and easier to just buy the 400 watt kit. Hope that helps.

Yes in electrical capacity. Your fixture's size and shape is the limiting factor.

50 WATT MR-16 HALIGEN BULB I believe any MR 16 Haligen buolb will fit, but the brightness is determined by the Wattage of the bulb.

iss the 4a to signify 4 amp......if soo ..that is impossible......50 watt halogen bulb..does get hot....the socket is for a bi-pin halogen bulb...I believe it is called a g 4........mr16 halogen bulb..and a bi-pin halogen...peanut bulb..will work... I run mine directly off a 12 volt battery...never touch the bulb..with your oily skin....never get the bulb wet.. a 20 watt halogen bulb is equivalent to about a ..60 watt Edison base light bulbs...I put pie pans for reflectors to enhance the light production....all for emergency lighting

I don't see why not. As long as you realize that you will need 1 socket for each bulb. This only powers the bulb that is inserted into it.

I checked Google, and the instructions were simplified. You are looking for T4 (thats the width of the bulb) and then check the wattage you are replacing- Here it is 16w. The "T" number and wattage is all you need to know. The bulbs with this base are standardized.

Yes, Just don't exceed 150 watts per bulb. I'm using 2 different types of LED bulbs in mine and everything works really well.

Mine had a standard a-type Edison socket, like a standard light built. You could certainly use one of the modern LED bulbs designed to fit standard fixtures.

The bulbs will be quite a bit brighter than yours and will use only four watts, so you will save 16 watts per bulb and get brighter light to boot.

Yes. the socket is standar. Any dimmable bulb like incandescent or the dimmable high efficiency bulbs will work perfectly Sam Gendler, MD (also Electrical Engineer)

I bought this to replaced a socket that supported 150 watt one. However, the original socket was damaged from the heat of 150 watts. I am currently using a flourescent 3-way, 150 watt replacement, rated at 16/25/32 watts. This runs cooler and works fine for me.

Yes, it has an ordinary medium base socket, for a 110 volt bulb, with leads coming out the bottom of the fixture. You can attach them to 14 or 12 ga. wire.

It depends on the shade you use. The socket will take a 100 watts BUT the shades determine how much heat you should allow. I use a shade rated at 60 W but only put 40 W in it. The new LED and incadescent bulbs will let you go brighter w/out the heat. These lamps are accents, not reading lamps.

I believe this bulb can be safely used in a 150 W fixture. Look for the watts used on the base of the bulb. The writing on the base of my bulb says that is actually draws 60 W which is only 40% of the rating for you fixture.

I Just looked at the Sockets but, they don't say the wattage on them !!! They have 18 gauge Wire connected to them. I used them with 200 Watt Grow BULBS on them, if that helps ???
