Description
A neutral white GU10 with a tight, directional beam, clear at the front and silver around the body. It draws 5W and puts out 450 lumens, enough to stand in for an older halogen spot of the same fitting without the heat or the running cost. At 4000K the light is a clean white, closer to daylight than to the amber of an old filament, so edges and colours stay crisp under it. The beam is narrow rather than broad, laying down a defined pool instead of washing a whole wall. It is not dimmable, so it wants a plain on-off switch.
We reach for a lamp like this where the light needs to land on something in particular: worktops under a run of kitchen downlights, a track over an island, a spot bar picking out shelving, or a workshop and garage where a cool, honest white makes it easier to see what you are doing. It suits anyone replacing halogens one at a time and wanting the same fitting and the same compact shape. In a sitting room we would aim it at art or joinery rather than at the seating, since this white is brisk rather than cosy.
The lens is clear with the silver-toned body behind it, and it disappears once it is sitting up in a recessed head or a spotlight. Cleaning is a dry wipe across the face while the lamp is cold, as dust on the lens dulls the output more than people expect; nothing wet, and no solvents near the contacts. The LED is built in, so there is nothing to replace inside it, and it carries a three year warranty. In a kitchen that opens onto a dining table, we would run these over the working end and keep something warmer for where people actually sit.

Frequently Asked
What size is it?
It measures 50mm across the face and 55mm tall, the standard GU10 spot format, so it drops into existing GU10 heads and recessed fittings.
How wide is the beam?
It is a 36 degree beam, a focused spot rather than a flood, which makes it good for worktops, shelving and pictures.
Can it be dimmed?
No. It is a non-dimmable lamp and should be run from a standard switch rather than a dimmer circuit.
How white is 4000K?
It is a cool, neutral white with no yellow cast, brighter in character than a warm white and easier for close work. Colour rendering is 80, which keeps everyday colours looking natural.
How long does it last?
It is rated at 25,000 hours of average life, and the lamp carries a three year warranty.
How do I clean it?
Let it cool, then wipe the clear face with a dry cloth. Avoid sprays and damp cloths, and do not touch the pins with anything wet.
