XLED GU10 LED Spotlight Bulb 4.9W 53W-eq 100° 500lm - Daylight

The XLED is a directional GU10 LED spotlight bulb that twist-locks straight into a standard mains GU10 holder, so no separate transformer or driver is needed. It draws just 4.9 W while standing in for an old 53 W lamp, putting out 500 lumens at a crisp 6500K daylight tone. In US terms this is a PAR16 reflector lamp with a bi-pin GU10 base. The 100 degree beam is wide for a spot, spreading light across a broad pool rather than a tight pinhole.

Because the beam opens to 100 degrees, the XLED suits general accent and ceiling-spot duties where you want even, daylight-toned coverage rather than a narrow highlight. It works well in kitchen ceiling spots, recessed downlight fittings, track heads and display lighting where several lamps share the load across a room. The wide spread means fewer dark patches between fittings on a ceiling grid. This is a dry indoor bulb only, so it should be kept clear of bathrooms, porches and any damp or outdoor location, whatever the fitting allows.

Built on a PAR16 spot body with a GU10 twist-lock cap, the bulb measures 50 mm across by 53 mm deep and weighs 40 g, fitting the same recesses as a halogen GU10 it replaces. It runs on 220 to 240 V AC mains at an efficiency of 112 lm/W, with a colour rendering of Ra 80 and a rated life of 25,000 hours. The bulb is non-dimmable, so pair it with a standard on/off switch rather than a dimmer. The finish is silver.

Product Specification Sheet

Range Datasheet

Which fitting does this bulb need?

It has a GU10 twist-lock cap, the standard mains spotlight fitting. You push it in and give a quarter turn to lock. It runs directly from 220 to 240 V mains, so no transformer or driver is required.

What old bulb wattage does it replace?

The XLED draws only 4.9 W but gives the light output of a 53 W halogen GU10, around 500 lumens. The actual power used is the 4.9 W figure, which is what shows on your bill.

Is this bulb dimmable?

No, this is a non-dimmable bulb. It should be used on a standard on/off switch. Fitting it to a dimmer circuit can cause flicker or shorten its life.

What does the 100 degree beam angle mean in practice?

It is a wide beam for a spotlight, so light spreads across a broad area rather than a tight point. That makes it well suited to general ceiling spots and downlights where you want even coverage. For tight accent highlighting a narrower beam would suit better.
