Description
This is a small directional LED lamp for GU10 fittings, with a clear face over a single chip and a white body behind it. It draws 5.5W and returns 500 lumens, so it stands in comfortably for an older halogen spot without the heat. The light is a cool white at 4000K, crisp rather than cosy, which keeps whites looking white. It dims, though it needs a dimmer rated for LED loads to do it smoothly, and no dimmer is supplied.
The beam is tight rather than broad, so this is one we reach for over a kitchen worktop, in a run of ceiling spots above an island, or on track aimed at shelving, a painting or a splashback. We would choose it where light should land on something specific instead of washing across the whole ceiling. In utility rooms and workshops the cool tone reads as clean and practical. It is at home in a hallway ceiling too, where a narrow beam keeps the light off the walls. If you are relamping a whole room, buy them together so the tone matches across the set.
The 50mm diameter and twist-and-lock pins follow the usual GU10 pattern, so it sits in existing spotlights and downlights without fuss. Clear at the front and white around the body, it looks tidy in an open track head where the lamp is on show. To clean, wait until it is cold, then wipe the face with a dry microfibre cloth; nothing wet, nothing abrasive on the lens. Handle it by the body rather than the front when fitting or removing. We keep it as our default cool white spot, and it sits happily alongside warmer lamps elsewhere in the house.

Frequently Asked
Will it dim on the dimmer I already have?
It dims only on a switch designed for LED loads, ideally a trailing edge type. Older dimmers made for halogen spots can cause flicker or buzz, and no dimmer is included with the lamp.
How narrow is the beam?
It is a 36 degree beam, so the light forms a defined pool rather than spreading widely. Space a run of them closer together if you want overlap along a worktop.
How does 4000K look next to warm white lamps?
At 4000K it is noticeably cooler and cleaner than a 2700K warm white, closer to daylight in feel. Mixing the two in the same ceiling is best avoided; keep one tone per run.
Will it fit a standard GU10 downlight?
Yes. It measures 50mm across the face and 55mm tall, with the standard two pin twist-and-lock base used by GU10 spotlights, downlights and track heads.
What is the rated life and warranty?
It is rated at 25,000 hours and carries a five year warranty.
What is the best way to clean it?
Switch off at the wall and let it go cold, then dust the clear face with a dry cloth. Keep sprays and damp cloths away from the lamp and its fitting.
