Description
This is a clear LED bulb with a GU10 cap, a slim tubular shape and a warm white glow. A clear plastic cover runs the length of the tube, with rows of small LED chips visible inside and a white base carrying the pins. It is 8cm long and 3cm across, so it is worth checking the depth of your fitting before ordering. It draws 4.5W and gives 500lm of light at 2700K, the warm white we suggest for rooms where you relax. It is rated IP20, which settles where it goes: indoors and dry, in living spaces, never in a bathroom or the garden.
Because the cover is clear, the LED chips stay visible, which suits spotlights, track heads and pendants made for GU10 bulbs where the bulb is on show. The 2700K warm white sits well in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and studies, giving a homely light for evenings at home. It is an easy swap for a spent GU10 bulb, and because the cap stays the same, there is no need to change the fitting itself. For anyone updating a run of ceiling spotlights, using these throughout gives every room the same warm tone.
It runs on mains voltage, 220-240V at 50/60Hz, so it goes straight into a GU10 lampholder with no separate driver. It is not dimmable, so it belongs on an ordinary switch rather than a dimmer. Its energy class is E, and the bulb weighs 0.026KG packed, light enough to keep a spare in a kitchen drawer. Before you order, check that your fitting takes a GU10 cap, has room for a bulb 8cm long and sits on a plain switch.
