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

The IQ-LEDEX is a directional GU10 spotlight bulb that fits the standard twist-lock mains holder, so it drops straight into existing GU10 fittings without any transformer. It draws just 2.5 W yet gives out 450 lumens, doing the job of an old 54 W bulb while cutting the running cost. Americans tend to shop for this as a directional reflector LED, and the PAR16 spot shape here puts the light where it is pointed. The 100 degree beam is on the wide side for a spotlight, spreading a soft warm white pool rather than a tight pencil of light, and the 3000K tone keeps that light comfortably warm.

The wide 100 degree spread suits places where you want even, gentle coverage rather than a sharp accent: kitchen and hallway downlight fittings, ceiling spots over a living space, or a row of recessed cans washing a wall. Because the beam opens out, a run of these reads as smooth lighting with fewer dark gaps between fittings than a narrow spot would leave, so the spacing in a typical ceiling layout is more forgiving. The throw is short and diffuse, which makes it better for general background light across a room than for picking out a single object from distance. This is an indoor bulb only, so keep it to dry interior fittings.

The bulb measures Ø50 by 54 mm and weighs 52 g, sized to the usual GU10 dimensions so it sits flush in standard holders. It runs on 220 to 240 V AC mains direct through the GU10 cap, with a colour rendering of Ra 80 and a rated life of 50,000 hours. The finish is silver and the colour temperature is fixed at 3000K warm white. Please note this bulb is non-dimmable, so pair it with a standard switch rather than a dimmer circuit.

Product Specification Sheet

Range Datasheet

What fitting does this bulb need?

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

What old bulb wattage does it replace?

The LED itself draws only 2.5 W but puts out 450 lumens, which matches the brightness of a 54 W halogen GU10. You get effectively the same light for a fraction of the energy, and the 50,000 hour rated life means far fewer changes.

Is this bulb dimmable?

No, it is non-dimmable. Use it on a standard on or off switch and avoid putting it on a dimmer circuit, as that can cause flicker or shorten the bulb's life.

How wide is the beam and what is the light like?

The beam angle is 100 degrees, which is wide for a spotlight, so it casts an even, soft pool rather than a tight spot. Combined with the 3000K warm white tone and Ra 80 colour rendering, it gives a comfortable, slightly warm general light good for living spaces and hallways.
