Description
A compact LED spot for standard GU10 holders, giving a broad wash of light rather than a narrow beam. The face is clear, so the emitter reads as a bright point behind glass, while the body is white and sits quietly inside a spotlight bar or a recessed fitting. At 5W it is doing the work of a much thirstier halogen, and the colour is a warm white 3000K, the honeyed end of the scale rather than anything crisp or blue. It is non dimmable, so it belongs on a plain switched circuit.
That wide spread is what makes it worth choosing. Where a tight beam leaves scallops and dark patches between fittings, this one overlaps neatly, so a row across a kitchen ceiling or along a hallway reads as continuous light. We would use it for general lighting in kitchens, landings and open living rooms, and for shelf and alcove lighting where you want the objects lit rather than a hard pool on the floor. It is a sensible swap for anyone still running halogen spots and tired of the heat and the replacements.
The lamp measures 50mm across the face, the usual size, and the pins are the familiar GU10 twist pair. The finish pairing is plain by design, meant to disappear into the fitting rather than draw the eye. Keep it clean by letting it cool, then wiping the clear face with a dry cloth; hold the white body rather than the glass when turning it, and never take a cleaning spray to it. It carries a five year warranty. We stock this one as our everyday warm white spot, and it takes to brass, oak and painted timber particularly well, where a cooler light would flatten them.

Frequently Asked
How much light does it give out?
It produces 350 lumens, with a tolerance of plus or minus five per cent, from just 5W of power.
Can I use it with a dimmer?
No. This lamp is non dimmable and should be run on an ordinary switched circuit.
Will it fit my existing GU10 spotlights?
It uses the standard GU10 twist fitting and measures 50mm in diameter by 59mm overall, so it suits fittings designed for a normal GU10 lamp.
What does the light look like in a room?
It is 3000K warm white, a soft, slightly golden light similar in tone to old halogen spots rather than the cooler white of daylight lamps.
Why is the beam so wide?
The optic spreads light across 100 degrees, which is much broader than a typical halogen spot and gives more even coverage between fittings.
How long is it rated to last?
The average rated life is 25,000 hours.
