IQ-LEDEX GU10 2.5W 54W-eq 450lm 100° LED Spotlight Bulb - Cool White

The IQ-LEDEX is a GU10 LED spotlight bulb that pushes out a directional beam from a compact PAR16 body measuring Ø50 by 54 mm. It draws only 2.5W yet delivers 450 lumens of crisp 4000K cool white light, with a wide 100 degree beam that spreads coverage further than a typical narrow spot. The GU10 cap is the familiar twist-lock mains fitting, so the bulb runs straight off 220 to 240V mains with no separate transformer or driver needed. In US terms a GU10 is the standard twist-lock mains spotlight, distinct from the low-voltage MR16 (GU5.3) two-pin type, which always requires a driver.

Because the beam is wide at 100 degrees, this bulb suits general accent and downlighting roles rather than tight pinpoint highlighting, making it a sensible fit for recessed ceiling spots, track heads and adjustable fittings across kitchens, hallways, living rooms and offices. The cool white 4000K tone gives a neutral, daylight-leaning light that reads well in work areas and food-prep zones where clarity matters. As an indoor IP20 bulb it should be kept to dry interior fittings, and a cluster of several in a ceiling layout gives even, low-glare spread without the heat of older halogen spots.

Light output is rated at 460 lm with an efficiency of 184 lm/W and a colour rendering of Ra 80, and the 2.5W draw replaces a 54W old-style bulb for the same brightness while cutting running cost. The bulb is non-dimmable, so it is best paired with a standard on/off circuit. Build is a silver-finished PAR16 housing weighing 52 g, rated for a 50,000 hour lifespan. We stock this GU10 across other wattages and colour temperatures in the same range for matched fittings throughout a property.

Product Specification Sheet

Range Datasheet

Which fitting does this bulb need?

It has a GU10 cap, the standard twist-lock mains spotlight base. You push it into the holder and give it a quarter turn to lock. It runs directly off 220 to 240V mains, so no transformer or driver is required, unlike a low-voltage MR16 (GU5.3) two-pin bulb.

What old bulb wattage does it replace?

At just 2.5W of actual draw it produces 450 lumens, which matches the brightness of a 54W traditional bulb. That is a large saving in running cost over an old halogen GU10 spot, while giving the same usable light from the fitting.

Is this bulb dimmable?

No, this is a non-dimmable bulb. It should be used on a standard on/off lighting circuit rather than a dimmer switch, as fitting a non-dimmable bulb to a dimmer can cause flicker or shorten its life.

What colour and beam does it give?

It produces 4000K cool white, a neutral daylight-leaning tone that suits kitchens, work areas and offices. The beam is wide at 100 degrees, so it spreads light more broadly than a narrow spot, with a colour rendering of Ra 80 for natural-looking colours.
