Description
Our GU10 LED bulb comes as a pair of spot bulbs, each with a clear glass reflector body and a frosted lens across the front that diffuses the light. Each bulb gives 500lm from 4.9W and carries an energy class of E. The colour temperature runs from 2000K to 3000K, so the light stays at the warm end of the scale, from a deep amber glow to a familiar warm white, and both bulbs are dimmable.
The GU10 cap is the two-pin push and twist base found in a great many spotlights, downlights and track heads, so these bulbs suit kitchen ceilings, spot bars in a living room and lights trained on a favourite picture. Check the cap of the bulb you are replacing before ordering, because only a GU10 holder will take them. Buying a pair means a twin spotlight can be refitted in one go, or one bulb can stay in the drawer as a spare. With the colour held warm, they suit rooms where you unwind more than a bright workbench.
Because they are dimmable, both bulbs can be turned down on a compatible dimmer switch for a gentler glow in the evening, and the frosted lens softens the bright LED points behind it. At 500lm, each bulb gives a clear pool of light from a single spotlight, and the energy class of E is the figure to compare when weighing running costs against other bulbs. A practical note to finish: switch the fitting off at the wall before swapping a bulb, and let an old halogen spot cool before you remove it.
