GU10 LED Bulb 4.7W 345lm - Warm White 3000K, 6 Pack

Six warm white GU10 lamps, sold as five plus one free in a single banded pack. Each one draws 4.7W and gives 345lm of 3,000K warm white light, which the retail pack rates against a 50W conventional lamp. The GU10 cap is the twist and lock sort: two stubby pins that push into the holder and turn a quarter turn to lock, running straight off mains voltage with no transformer involved. That cap is the thing to check before ordering, because a lamp with two thin pins instead is a GU5.3 and will not seat in a GU10 holder.

Warm white at 3,000K is the soft yellow white most people think of as ordinary domestic light, and it sits kindly on wood, brick, brass and warm paint colours in a way a cooler lamp does not. At 345lm each, these are made for a run of several spots rather than one lamp lighting a whole room, which is how most GU10 ceilings are wired: a kitchen with six or eight over the worktops is the common case. They also drop into track spots, display cabinets and picture spots wherever the holder takes a GU10 lamp.

The pack prints a ten year lamp life and carries energy class F. The manufacturer does not state whether these lamps can be dimmed, so if your spots are wired through a dimmer switch it is worth checking with us first. Buying six together suits a downlight run, because lamps fitted at the same time are switched for the same hours and replacing the set keeps the light even along a ceiling. Sold as one pack of six, and the minimum order is one pack. We stock LED candle, golf and GLS filament bulbs in B15 and E27 fittings alongside it.

Will these fit my existing ceiling spots?

They fit any holder that takes a GU10 lamp. Pull out an old lamp and look at the base: two short, thick pins with flared ends that twist into place means GU10, and these will go straight in. Two thin straight pins means GU5.3 or MR16, which runs on a transformer and takes a different lamp.

How bright is 345 lumens, and how many will I need?

The pack rates each lamp against a 50W conventional spotlight, so think of one as a single downlight rather than a whole room. A kitchen usually runs six to eight over the worktops and a hallway two or three, which is why six in a pack tends to cover a full run.

What does 3,000K warm white actually look like?

It is the soft yellow white of a familiar household lamp, warmer and more relaxed than the 4,000K cool white used in utility spaces and much warmer than 6,500K daylight. It flatters wood, brick, brass and warm paint rather than cooling them down.

Can these lamps be dimmed?

The manufacturer does not state a dimming capability for this lamp, and nothing about dimming is printed on the retail pack, so we make no claim either way. If your spots are wired through a dimmer switch, please ask us before ordering.

Is an IP rating given for these lamps?

No IP rating is stated by the manufacturer for the lamp itself, so we do not publish one. A rating of that kind normally belongs to the light fitting the lamp sits in rather than to the lamp.

How many bulbs do I get, and how are they packed?

You receive six lamps in one banded pack, made up of five plus one free, with each lamp in its own individual carton inside the outer sleeve. The minimum order is one pack of six.
