Description
This is a flat LED bulb with a GU10 cap, the two-pin push-and-twist cap found in many spotlights and recessed downlights. Its clear glass shell holds a silvered inner reflector and a front lens, with a flat, wide face and a short body that is 5cm across and 3.5cm long. It draws 4W and gives 400lm of warm white light at 2700K from mains power at 220-240V, 50/60Hz. The IP20 rating settles where it belongs: indoors, in dry rooms only.
Warm white at 2700K gives a soft, golden tone that suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and dining areas, where a cooler light can feel harsh in the evening. We would put it in a run of ceiling downlights in a hallway or kitchen, or in track spotlights aimed at a shelf, a picture or a reading chair. The short body is the real reason to choose a flat bulb: it suits shallow recessed downlights and compact spotlight heads where depth inside the fitting is tight.
This bulb is not dimmable, so it belongs on a standard on/off switch rather than a dimmer circuit. It carries energy class E and weighs 0.058KG packed. Glass wipes clean with a soft, dry cloth, so an occasional dust with the light switched off and cool keeps the glass clear. Before you order, check that your fitting takes a GU10 cap and has room for a bulb 5cm across and 3.5cm long; if it does, this one is a straightforward swap.
