Description
Two lamps come in every pack, both GU10 spots with a clear front lens and a white body. The light is a neutral cool white at 4000K, a crisp tone that keeps whites looking white and colours honest. At 5W each they sip power, and they are not dimmable, so they suit a plain switched circuit rather than a trailing edge dimmer. The head is the familiar spot size, so it twists into the recessed downlights, track heads and spotlight bars most homes already run.
We sell a lot of these to kitchens, where cool white keeps worktops and chopping boards clearly lit and food looking fresh. They work just as well over a utility bench, in a home office, a garage or a workshop, and above shelving where you want the goods read at a glance. It is the tone we reach for wherever a job is being done rather than an evening being spent. Warm white flatters a sitting room better, so we would keep this one for the working parts of a house. Dry indoor rooms only; anywhere exposed to weather or shower steam calls for a sealed fitting instead.
The clear lens sits in a moulded white housing with the usual twist-and-lock pins, and the whole thing weighs next to nothing. Cleaning is a matter of turning the circuit off, letting the lamp go cold, then running a dry cloth over the lens to lift dust that would otherwise dull the output. Avoid solvents and never wet the pins. It carries a three year warranty. Keeping a spare pack in the drawer is worth it: replace a failed lamp and its neighbour together and a row of spots stays matched in tone.

Frequently Asked
How bright are these bulbs?
Each lamp gives 400 lumens, which suits general downlighting in kitchens, utilities and hallways when several spots are working together.
Will they fit my existing spotlights?
They are the standard GU10 size, 50mm across the face and 55mm tall, which is the shape most recessed downlights and track heads are built around.
Can I put them on a dimmer?
No. These are non-dimmable and should be run from an ordinary switched circuit; a dimmer will cause flicker or buzz and may shorten the lamp's life.
How does 4000K compare to a warm white bulb?
It is noticeably crisper. Warm white sits around 2700K and reads golden, while 4000K is closer to daylight and better for task areas where you need to see detail and true colour.
How long should each lamp last?
They are rated at 15,000 hours, and colour rendering is above 80, so skin tones and food colours hold up well under them.
Are they suitable for a bathroom or outdoors?
No. They are rated IP20, so keep them to dry indoor rooms and use a properly sealed fitting anywhere damp or exposed.
