Description
A compact LED spot with a clear front lens and a white body, drawing 5W and giving a neutral white at 4000K. The head is 50mm across, the usual size for GU10 spot fittings, so it goes in wherever an older halogen spot has given out. Output is 400 lumens, thrown as a tight pool rather than a broad wash, which is what makes it useful for lighting a surface rather than a whole room. It works on a plain on and off switch and is not intended for use with a dimmer.
We reach for this one over kitchen worktops, along a run of ceiling spots in a hallway, and in shelving or display fittings where a small directional lamp does the work of something far bigger. The neutral white keeps whites looking white and stops timber and stone reading yellow, which suits kitchens, home offices and utility rooms better than a warmer lamp would. It is a sensible choice for anyone working through a house swapping out halogen spots and wanting the same crisp light at a fraction of the running cost. Keep it to dry rooms indoors; a bathroom zone or an open porch wants a sealed fitting instead.
The lens is clear, so the lamp reads sharp in open fittings where the front of it can be seen, and the surrounding body is white. Once it has cooled, a dry cloth across the lens is all it asks, since dust on the front dulls the beam long before anything else does. There is no filament to sag and no glass envelope to blacken, so the colour of the light holds steady as the hours add up. We stock this as our standard neutral white GU10 and keep it in quantity, because spots are rarely changed one at a time.

Frequently Asked
How bright is it compared with an old halogen spot?
At 400 lumens it stands in well for a 50W halogen GU10, with the same directional character but a much lower draw of 5W.
How narrow is the beam?
It is a 36 degree beam, so a defined pool of light. For a wider spread you would want a flood beam lamp instead.
Can I use it with a dimmer switch?
No. It is non-dimmable and should be run from a standard on and off switch. Fitting it to a dimmer circuit will shorten its life.
Will it fit my existing downlights?
If they take a twist-and-lock GU10 lamp, yes. The head is 50mm in diameter and 55mm tall overall, which is the standard GU10 envelope.
What sort of white light does it give?
4000K, a clean neutral white rather than a warm yellow, with a colour rendering figure above 80 so surfaces and finishes read accurately.
How long should it last?
It is rated at 15,000 hours of average life.
