Description
The Energizer 3.4W GU10 LED bulb provides 345 lumens of cool white 4000K light through a 36° beam angle, designed to replace 50W halogen GU10 bulbs in downlights, track lights and recessed fittings. The non-dimmable LED draws 3.4W on 230V mains and is rated for a 25-year average lifespan based on typical domestic use, reducing the frequency of bulb replacements in ceiling fixtures.
The 4000K colour temperature sits in the cool white range, producing a neutral-to-slightly-blue-tinted light that works well in kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, garages and commercial environments where task visibility matters more than warmth. The 36° beam angle concentrates light into a focused spot rather than a wide flood, making it suitable for accent lighting, highlighting worktops, or fitting into directional ceiling downlights where the beam needs to be aimed at a specific surface.
The bulb measures 50mm diameter by 54mm height and fits the standard GU10 twist-and-lock base common in UK downlight fittings. At 30g per bulb, it weighs marginally more than a halogen equivalent but sits flush in most ceiling fixtures without needing modification. The 345-lumen output and 36° beam give a narrower, more defined pool of light compared to wider-angle GU10 LEDs, so spacing between fittings may need adjustment if replacing wide-angle halogens.

Frequently Asked
Is this bulb dimmable?
No. The Energizer 3.4W GU10 LED is non-dimmable and should not be used with dimmer switches. Attempting to dim a non-dimmable LED can cause flickering, buzzing or premature failure.
What's the difference between 4000K and warm white?
4000K cool white produces a neutral-to-slightly-blue light that enhances task visibility and concentration. Warm white (2700K-3000K) has a yellow-amber tone closer to traditional tungsten bulbs. Cool white suits functional spaces like kitchens and bathrooms; warm white suits living rooms and bedrooms.
What does the 36° beam angle mean?
A 36° beam creates a focused spot of light rather than a wide flood. This makes the bulb suitable for accent lighting, highlighting specific areas, or fitting into directional downlights. Wider beam angles (60°+) spread light more evenly across a room.
Can it replace a 50W halogen directly?
Yes, in terms of fitting and installation. The GU10 base is a direct swap. However, the 345-lumen output and 36° beam differ from most 50W halogens, which typically produce 400-450 lumens with a wider beam. Check the beam angle of your existing halogen before replacing to ensure lighting coverage remains consistent.
