XLED GU10 6.5W 850lm 100° Spotlight Bulb 88W-eq - Cool White

The XLED is a directional GU10 LED spotlight bulb that puts out 850 lumens from a 6.5W draw, giving a crisp 4000K cool white light. Its 100 degree beam spreads light more widely than a tight spot, washing a broader area rather than throwing a narrow pinpoint, which suits general accent and fill duties. The GU10 cap is the familiar twist-lock fitting that runs straight off the mains at 220-240V AC, so no transformer or separate driver is involved, and it slots directly into any standard GU10 holder. To US buyers this is the bi-pin PAR16 reflector lamp, the LED stand-in for the old halogen spot.

The XLED works well in track heads, recessed ceiling spots and adjustable fittings across kitchens, hallways, living rooms and home offices, anywhere a row of GU10 holders needs even, neutral-toned light. The 100 degree spread makes it a sensible choice for layered ceiling schemes where you want overlapping pools rather than sharp circles, and the 4000K cool white keeps work surfaces and shelving looking clean and bright. The bulb is rated for dry indoor use only, so keep it to interior fittings and let the housing decide where the light can go. As a guide, several spaced across a ceiling cover a typical room with comfortable accent light rather than acting as a single ambient source.

Built in a compact PAR16 form at 50mm diameter and 53mm long, the XLED carries a silver finish and weighs just 46g, so it fits the cut-out of standard GU10 spot fittings. At 6.5W it replaces an old 88W halogen, an efficiency of 135 lm/W, with a CRI of Ra 80 for sound everyday colour and a rated life of 25,000 hours. This bulb is non-dimmable, so pair it with a standard switched circuit. We stock the XLED across several wattage and colour-tone options in the same range.

Product Specification Sheet

Range Datasheet

Which fitting does this bulb need?

It has a GU10 cap, the standard twist-lock mains spotlight fitting. Push it into the holder and turn a quarter to lock. It runs directly on 220-240V mains, so no transformer or separate driver is required.

What old bulb does the 6.5W replace?

The LED itself draws only 6.5W but produces 850 lumens, equivalent to an old 88W halogen spotlight. That is a large energy saving for the same brightness, at an efficiency of 135 lm/W. Over a rated 25,000 hours it uses a fraction of the power of the lamp it replaces.

What colour and beam does it give?

It is a 4000K cool white, a clean neutral tone that suits kitchens, work areas and shelving. The beam angle is 100 degrees, so it spreads light over a wider area than a narrow spot, making it good for even accent and fill lighting.

Is this bulb dimmable?

No, the XLED is non-dimmable, so use it on a standard switched circuit rather than a dimmer. Pairing a non-dimmable bulb with a dimmer can cause flicker or buzzing. Choose a dimmable lamp if you need adjustable brightness.
