Description
This GU10 spot gives colour and plain white light from a single lamp, and it comes with its own infrared handset. The pack prints 230 lumens in a wide cone from 4.2 watts and rates it as a 35W replacement, so it drops into a halogen spot position with no change to the fitting. The cap is the familiar GU10 two pin push and twist type used in mains voltage track heads and downlights, running straight off 220 to 240V with no transformer involved. If the lamp you are taking out has two short pins rather than a screw thread or a bayonet, this is the right shape.
A colour changing lamp earns its keep where light is doing more than letting you see the room: a shelf recess, an alcove, a run of track over a media wall, the back of a bar, or a bedroom that wants green one week and blue the next. Because the handset also has a white key, the same lamp still works as ordinary white light the rest of the time, which matters if you only want to convert one or two heads in a track rather than all of them. It is an indoor lamp, rated IP20.
Control is by handset only: colour keys, brightness up and down, on and off, and four programme keys marked flash, strobe, smooth and mode. The specification records the lamp as not dimmable, so put it on a plain switch rather than a wall dimmer and set the level from the handset; the pack marks it as dimmable with the remote control. Energy class is G and the pack prints a 15 year lifespan. One unit is one bulb with one handset, and the minimum order is 12, in multiples of 12. It sits alongside our other Energizer LED bulbs, including a 3.6W warm white 3000K GU10 and B15 candle and golf lamps.

Frequently Asked
Will this fit my existing halogen spotlight?
It fits any mains voltage GU10 holder, the type with two short pins that push in and twist a quarter turn. If your old lamp had a screw thread, a bayonet or a thin two pin base on a transformer, it is not the right cap.
How bright is it, and what does a wide cone mean here?
The pack prints 230 lumens in a wide cone and rates the lamp as a 35W replacement. A wide beam spreads the light across a shelf or a wall rather than punching a tight circle onto a worktop.
Can I put it on a wall dimmer?
The specification records it as not dimmable, so keep it on a plain switch. The pack marks it as dimmable with the remote control, so change the level from the handset rather than from the wall.
Does it give normal white light as well as colour?
Yes. The handset carries a white key alongside the colour keys, and the colour temperature is listed as variable rather than fixed, so one lamp covers both plain white light and colour.
What do I actually receive, and how many must I buy?
One unit is one bulb together with one remote control handset. The minimum order on this listing is 12 units, sold in multiples of 12, so you receive twelve bulbs at a time.
Can I use it outside?
No. It is rated IP20 and is for indoor use only, so it belongs in dry interior fittings such as track heads, downlights and enclosed indoor spots.
