Halogen vs SSL MR16 waveforms 
 
Halogen MR16 waveforms 
 
 
Improper SSL MR16 operating waveform 
  Channel - 1 (yellow trace) = Input line voltage 
  Channel - 3 (purple trace) = Input line current  
  Channel - 4 (green trace) = bulb current  
 
Issue #1 - The two scope captures above illustrate the SSL MR16 technical challenges.  Figure one shows typical 
Halogen MR16 waveforms, and figure two is common MR16 replacement bulbs waveforms.  The SSL replacement 
bulb looks capacitive to the ELVT; therefore large current spikes charge the energy storage device within the SSL 
MR16 bulb.  The switching converter within the bulb then processes the input power from the energy storage 
element to the LED load.  At this time the minimum load requirement of the ELVT is not satisfied, and the ELVT 
turns off.  Once the energy is depleted within the MR16 converter, the ELVT will start up, and the process cycles.  
The turning off/on of the ELVT will manifest itself as visible flicker. 
 
Issue #2 
– The maximum input current to the Halogen bulb is approximately 4.25A.  The maximum input current to 
the SSL bulb is approximately 12A.  The large magnitude spike associated with charging the SSL MR16 input 
capacitor can cause premature failures within the SSL bulb, or even the ELVT.
