Description
This GU10 LED bulb is a compact reflector shape with a white to silver-grey plastic body, a frosted front lens and a two-pin GU10 cap. It measures 6cm long and 5cm across, so it fits a standard GU10 lampholder in a spotlight, downlight or track head. It draws just 3.4W and gives 400lm at 3000K, a warm white that feels soft and homely rather than cool or clinical. Rated IP20, it belongs indoors in dry rooms, so keep it away from bathrooms and outdoor fittings.
We like it most in the rooms where the mood changes through the day. In a kitchen, the full 400lm suits chopping and reading recipes, then a lower step softens the ceiling spots once the plates are cleared. In a living room or bedroom, the 3-step dimming gives you three levels of brightness from the one bulb, so the same fitting covers a bright tidy-round and a quiet evening. Hallways, landings and dining rooms suit it just as well. At 3000K it sits comfortably beside other warm white bulbs, and at 3.4W each, a ceiling full of spotlights draws very little power.
The shade is plastic and the whole bulb weighs 0.058KG packed, so it adds next to nothing to a slim track head or a ceiling spot. It runs from a mains supply of 220-240V, 50/60Hz and carries an energy class of D. To clean it, switch off, let the bulb cool, then wipe the frosted lens with a soft dry cloth, keeping water and sprays well away. Our practical tip: when you replace a ceiling of GU10 spotlights, change every bulb together so each spot matches in colour and brightness.
