The holder comes pre-wired with two 90mm heat-resistant fly leads rated at 0.5mm² cross-sectional area, allowing connection to mains supply cable or terminal blocks inside a ceiling rose or downlight housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for installation into recessed downlights, spotlight tracks and surface-mounted GU10 fittings, the ceramic construction handles the sustained heat output from halogen GU10 bulbs without warping or discolouring. The 90mm lead length gives enough cable to reach terminal blocks in most standard UK ceiling voids without needing to extend or splice the wiring on installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twist-lock mechanism grips the two pins on a GU10 bulb base once rotated a quarter turn clockwise, holding the bulb securely without needing a separate retaining clip. The ceramic body resists thermal shock better than plastic alternatives, making it suitable for fittings where bulbs are frequently replaced or where higher-wattage halogen GU10s generate sustained heat. The holder accepts all GU10 bulbs regardless of wattage, LED or halogen technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLead length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.5mm²\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFitting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGU10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat bulb types does this holder accept?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe holder accepts all GU10 twist-and-lock bulbs including LED, halogen and CFL. The ceramic construction handles halogen bulbs up to 50W, though LED equivalents are more efficient and generate less heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this be used in an enclosed downlight fitting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The ceramic body and heat-resistant fly leads are designed for enclosed fittings where temperatures build up from sustained bulb operation. The 0.5mm² cable cross-section handles typical mains loads without overheating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the holder wired in?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two fly leads connect to the live and neutral terminals inside the ceiling rose, downlight housing or terminal block. The holder has no earth connection. Follow Part P wiring regulations and isolate the circuit at the consumer unit before making connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the advantage of ceramic over plastic?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCeramic resists higher sustained temperatures and thermal shock better than thermoplastic lamp holders. This makes it more suitable for halogen GU10 bulbs and for fittings where bulbs are frequently replaced while still warm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AVSL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45313209237771,"sku":"159.237UK","price":1.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/159237UK_CO1_55988e37-b956-4c19-922d-3058b752f1d9.jpg?v=1715189283","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/gu10-lamp-holder-ceramic-with-heat-resistant-leads","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
