Since its rise to prominence, LED technology has rapidly permeated almost every rung of the lighting industry, and LED alternatives to nearly every light bulb design are now widely available. Spotlights are no exception.

Coursework in second year includes laboratory experiments and computing exercises. Several experiments are linked around the common theme of earthquake-resistant structures.

The Department is a leading international centre for research, consistently ranked the highest achieving amongst UK universities.

Discover Uni allows you to compare information about individual courses at different higher education institutions.  This can be a useful method of considering your options and what course may suit you best.

Put simply, LED spotlights look and work in exactly the same way as your old halogen or incandescent spotlights, but use modern LED technology as their primary light source. This carries with it a whole slew of benefits, from reduced running and replacement costs to withered energy bills and the rewarding feeling of contributing to a cleaner planet.

When you go to university, you’ll need to consider two main costs – your tuition fees and your living costs (sometimes referred to as maintenance costs).

In the third year, there’s an opportunity for a small number of students to spend the year studying abroad. This is through our exchange schemes with Ecole Centrale Paris and the National University of Singapore.

Learn a broad range of topics, such as civil, structural, electrical and mechanical engineering and specialise in areas that interest you the most.

If you’re taking the Single Award Applied A level in Engineering or the Principal Learning components of the Advanced Diploma in Engineering, you must also be taking A levels in Mathematics and Physics.

Students are required to complete a minimum of 6 weeks of relevant industrial or equivalent experience by June of Year 3. You will need to cover any costs associated with this industrial or equivalent experience. Industrial experience requirements can be met through paid work placements.

You will only need to pay for printing if you exceed the free printing quota (£2 in Year 1, £3 in Year 2, £7 in Year 3 and £9 in Year 4). Extra printing is up to 4p per sheet in black and white.

A level Further Mathematics is very strongly encouraged. If unavailable or you’ve recognised its desirability too late, we’d advise you to do as much additional pure maths and mechanics as possible, e.g. by studying advanced material or Further Mathematics AS level. A level candidates without Further Mathematics have a lower success rate than candidates with Further Mathematics to at least AS level.

GU10 spotlight bulbs are a mains voltage spotlight and therefore much easier to replace; simply remove your old light bulb and replace it with an LED equivalent. Comparing the equivalent wattages or lumen values of both light bulbs will ensure that the newly installed LED looks the same as the old light bulb in terms of its brightness and quality.

The advent of LED has brought with it a tranche of new benefits. The fact that you can still revel in a spotlight’s sexy aesthetics while also cutting your lighting bill by up 90% sounds almost too good to be true, but I can assure you it’s not.

Your living costs will include costs related to your studies that are not covered by your tuition fees. There are some general study costs that will apply for all students – you can find details of these costs here.

However, please note that superficially similar courses often have very different structures and objectives, and that the teaching, support and learning environment that best suits you can only be determined by identifying your own interests, needs, expectations and goals, and comparing them with detailed institution- and course-specific information.

First and second year of the course provide a broad education in engineering fundamentals, enabling you to make a genuinely informed choice about the area in which to specialise from your third year.

As a general rule, LED light bulbs use around 10% of the energy of incandescent light bulbs, as indicated by their equivalent wattages.

That’s a wonderful guide you have provided here. Good quality lights and brightness are needed whether it is about your house, office or any other place. Thanks. The above guide is helpful.

Engineering at Cambridge enables you to develop your knowledge, skills, imagination and experience to the highest levels, so you’re ready for your future career.

An old-school magnetic transformer will work just fine with LED light bulbs, but transformers are similar to dimmer systems in that they normally have a predetermined wattage range that they expect their light bulb(s) to sit within. Replacing your MR16 light bulbs with LED equivalents is going to obliterate your cumulative wattage (which is a good thing) but it does also mean that you’re probably going to drop below your transformer’s minimum wattage requirements. This can result in flickering light bulbs, strobing or outright failure of the circuit.

To successfully mimic the glow of an incandescent filament light bulb, it’s best to go for a warm white light bulb that sits between 2700k and 3000k. This works especially well in homely, traditional environments where cosiness is key. The ‘cooler’ temperatures look whiter and most often used in places such as kitchens and bathrooms where a clean white or cool white light is preferred. The daylight bluer options are most often found in retail environments, public areas and workplaces where natural light may otherwise be restricted.

Of course! Dimming LED light bulbs is not as straightforward as dimming any incandescent or halogen light bulb. LED technology requires a different set of circumstances to dim correctly. For a full explanation of what this involves, from how to calculate load levels to which type of dimmer switch to use, please see our extensive dimming guide.

All Colleges, except Trinity, welcome applications from students taking A level Mathematics and a suitable vocational qualification, for example a BTEC Higher National Diploma in an engineering discipline.

The minimum offer level and subject requirements outline the minimum you'll usually need to achieve to get an offer from Cambridge.

If you successfully complete the fourth year, you’ll get the MEng qualification, as well as the BA degree which you get at the end of the third year.

In rare cases, it may be possible to change course once you’ve joined the University. You will usually have to get agreement from your College and the relevant departments. It’s not guaranteed that your course change will be approved.

LED spotlights may be relatively new, but they’re certainly not new-fangled; so go on, tuck in, because having your cake and eating it has never tasted so good.

You can't apply to these courses until you're at Cambridge. You would usually apply when you have completed 1 year or more of your original Cambridge course.

You take 10 papers from over 40 choices. Usually, 6 of your paper choices will be associated with one of the following disciplines:

MR16 light bulbs aren’t quite as straightforward. As a low voltage light bulb, these require a transformer to step down the mains voltage to a more comfortable 12V that the light bulb can deal with. If you’re replacing halogen MR16 spotlights with LED equivalents, you’ll probably also need to purchase a modern, electronic LED driver that is designed to deal with the lower wattages of LED.

Additional mathematics is helpful and all candidates are strongly encouraged to take up opportunities to develop their skills, such as by participating in olympiads or accessing the online resources in the Advanced Mathematics Support Programme.

In some cases, you'll get a higher or more challenging offer. Colleges set higher offer requirements for a range of reasons. If you'd like to find out more about why we do this, check the information about offers above the minimum requirement on the entry requirements page.

In fourth year you’ll take 8 papers from around 80 options which vary each year. These papers benefit from the Department’s research and are taught by experts in the particular field.

We have an Industrial Placement Co-ordinator to help you find suitable placements (in the UK and abroad). They can also offer support with finding sponsorship.

All Colleges welcome applications from students who want to do an Engineering-related gap year before starting the course.

Purchasing an electronic driver is the best way to avoid this. However, this in itself poses its own set of unique issues from ensuring that the driver itself is LED ready (some were designed before the days of LED and therefore don’t play ball too well) to then making sure that it delivers the correct current and voltage (normally 12V Direct Current in the case of LED MR16 spotlight bulbs).

To many, the main barrier to switching to LED light bulbs is both a lack of information and the false impression that LED is more expensive and ultimately inferior to older technologies.

Olin College of Engineering is advancing engineering as a bridge to equity, opportunity and progress for humanity on a global scale.

An incandescent light bulb’s warm glow is dictated entirely by its technology. Incandescent – as the name implies – work by forcing heat through a metal (normally tungsten) filament that then heats up and glows. This consequently generates light, while also lending the light bulb its unmistakable warm colour. Even though halogen light bulbs work differently, they also possess a similarly warm glow.

The key to an LED spotlight’s versatility lies in its colour and beam angle. Wider beam angles and warmer colours are great for ambient lighting, where the light is dispersed over a wider area. Cooler colours and narrower angles are ideal for highlighting specific fixtures or areas of a room, which is particularly useful in commercial or public settings.

When you graduate, you’re fully qualified in your chosen area, knowledgeable across the range of engineering disciplines, and able to apply new technologies in novel situations.

Ultimately with the extra effort involved, we would normally advise simply returning your circuit to mains voltage and using GU10s instead. This obviates the need for a transformer completely and eradicates any potential compatibility issues. Think of it as cutting out the middleman and giving yourself a nice, clean circuit with no unnecessary tinkering going on in the background. However, if you do find yourself in a situation where MR16 spotlight bulbs are the only option, a full range of LED drivers can be found on Lightbulbs Direct.

Aside from this, there really is nothing else to worry about when replacing a GU10 spotlight bulb. Simply remove the old one, twist the LED into the fitting, lock it into place and then stand back and marvel as your lighting bill begins to plummet.
