The GU10 cap is the two pin twist and lock type used in most mains voltage downlights and track heads: the pins go into the holder, a turn of a few degrees clockwise seats the lamp, and a turn the other way releases it. The body is white with a clear faceted lens over the LED, and the head keeps the familiar reflector profile, so it goes back into the apertures a halogen spot came out of. Being a mains voltage cap, it needs no transformer behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarm white at 2,700K sits at the softer end of the scale, close to the colour old halogen spots gave, with a yellow leaning cast that flatters wood, brick, warm neutral paint and skin tones. It suits kitchen ceilings, a run of downlights over a dining table, a hallway, or a living room track. If you are swapping a few lamps rather than a whole ceiling, check the Kelvin figure printed on the ones already up there: 2,700K next to 4,000K reads as an obvious mismatch, far more so than a small difference in wattage ever does. At 480 lumens apiece, spotlights of this output are normally worked in groups rather than asked to light a room on their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lamp is not dimmable, so put it on a plain on and off switch. Non-dimmable lamps fitted to a dimmed circuit can flicker, buzz or fail early, so if the circuit is dimmed you want a dimmable spot instead. The manufacturer states no IP rating, no beam angle and no halogen equivalent, so we quote none of the three. One unit is a single bulb, and the minimum order is 10, sold in multiples of 10, which covers a full ceiling with spares left over. A B15 LED candle bulb in the same warm white 2,700K sits alongside it with us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFitting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGU10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpotlight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTechnology\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLED\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWattage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.5W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrightness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e480lm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarm white 2,700K\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimmable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSold as\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle bulb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum order\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10, sold in multiples of 10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this fit my existing downlights?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the old lamp has two stubby pins on a cap that twists and locks, it is a GU10 and this one goes straight in with no transformer or driver needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I put it on a dimmer switch?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It is non-dimmable, so it belongs on an ordinary on and off switch; on a dimmed circuit expect flicker, buzz or a shortened life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow bright is 480 lumens in practice?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a typical spotlight output, bright enough for a worktop or table when several lamps share the ceiling, rather than lighting a whole room alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does 2,700K warm white actually look like?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA soft, slightly yellow light very close to old halogen spots, good for relaxed rooms and warm finishes, and noticeably warmer than 4,000K cool white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs an IP rating given for this lamp?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer does not print one, so we state none.
