Description
Each pack holds two LED spot lamps, a straightforward warm white replacement for the halogen spots fitted in most homes. The face is clear, so you can see the small emitter array behind it, and the body is white. Each lamp draws 5W and gives a warm 3000K light, the softer, slightly golden white that suits sitting rooms and evening kitchens rather than a cool working glare. They are not dimmable, so they want a plain switched circuit with no dimmer module on it.
We reach for these where a ceiling has a run of GU10 downlights and one has gone dark: buying them this way lets you change the failed lamp and keep a spare in the drawer, matched for colour so the whole run stays even. They suit kitchens, hallways, landings and living room spots, and they work just as well in track heads and adjustable ceiling spots. Keep them to dry rooms indoors, as a shower zone or an outside soffit asks for a properly sealed fitting instead.
The GU10 twist-and-lock base is the usual domestic standard, so these go into any holder of that type without adaptors. For cleaning, turn the circuit off at the switch and give the lamp time to go cold, then lift dust from the clear face with a dry cloth; nothing damp, and no solvents near the lens. Each lamp carries a three year warranty. Because the tone is on the warm side, they sit comfortably alongside brass, timber and painted plaster, and mixing them with a cooler lamp in the same ceiling will show, so it is worth doing a whole run at once. We keep GU10 lamps in a few outputs and colour temperatures if you need something brighter or crisper.

Frequently Asked
What size is each lamp?
Each lamp measures 50mm across the face and 55mm tall, the standard GU10 spot format used in domestic downlights and track heads.
How much light do they give?
Around 400 lumens each, from 5W, at 3000K warm white.
Can I use these on a dimmer switch?
No. These are non-dimmable and should be run on a plain on-off circuit. On a dimmer they may flicker, buzz or fail early.
How long should they last?
Average rated life is 15,000 hours, so in a hallway or kitchen used a few hours a day that is several years of service.
Will they match my existing warm white spots?
If your current lamps are 3000K they should sit closely together, within the usual small tolerance. If they are 2700K or 4000K the difference will be visible in the same ceiling.
Are they suitable for a bathroom?
Only in dry areas well away from the bath or shower, and inside a fitting rated for that position. For zoned areas choose a sealed enclosure.
