I am not so sure the waste from any light source is heat, if you consider only visible light part of the electromagnetic spectrum is required, then any UV or infrared is waste as well as heat, most the energy should be retained in the home if blackout curtains are closed, other wise energy will escape from windows, however we see instructions as to length of cable between an electronic transformer and a quartz lamp, because at kHz frequency it can transmit radio waves, replacing a quartz lamp with a diode one can very likely produce a transmitter. I note many G5.3 MR16 lamps have 50 Hz marked on the lamp
this is from
Screwfix advert in the description there is nothing to say AC or 50 Hz just an advisory note "Please check the suitability of your transformer before selecting your LED MR16 light bulb." which does I suppose say it should be a transformer not a power supply.
I suspect a zero to 60 VA electronic transformer would power the light just the same as a toroidal transformer, and likely it would also work with DC. However what we don't know is does it have a full wave rectifier inside or half wave, and if the rectifiers diodes will take double the current when supplied with DC or will it become a radio transmitter if supplied with kHz AC. This is why I prefer GU10 there is no question if the supply is suitable for the bulb.
But we see lumen output quoted and in my old house I used good quality Philips bulbs golf ball CFL 8 watt each x 10 so lumen output for room 4250 lumen and the room was dark, I replaced these with 3 wall candle LED lumen output 2800 lumen brighter but not bright enough so went to 5 watt and then bit too bright at 4600 lumen, so it is clear there is some thing wrong with lumen as to light output, it is claimed lumen is a measure of the light we see by, so does not include UV or infrared but experience has shown me different, also experience has shown me cheap bulbs last longer than expensive ones, the dinning room had same lights as living room, within a year bulbs were failing, so my wife got 6 cheap CFL from HomeBargains again 8W and same lumen output, but much brighter, maybe there is a special Philips lumens?
The move to LED was to start with an accident, I bought 2 LED candle bulbs 1.8W from Lidi to try then in reading lamps, on getting home I found another 2 CFL had failed so put in the two LED bulbs as a temp until we could get some more 8W. I was surprised on how good they were. Lidi sold out and next time they did E14 candle bulbs they were 3W.
Odd but some 6 years latter the HomeBargains 8W globe bulbs CFL are still working in my dinning room, not one has failed.
