LED GU10 lamps are designed to replace traditional halogen lamps. GU10 lamps feature a bi-pin connector and operate on line voltage, removing the need for a separate transformer or driver to step down to 12V like their MR16 counterparts. Benefits of choosing an LED option include:
-
Superior lifetime of 20,000 to 40,000 (compared to 2,000 hours for Halogen options)
-
Lower operating temperature
-
<90% more energy efficient
-
Range of colour temperatures
Choose a warm white colour temperature to create the glow of an incandescent bulb, or a cool white or daylight temperature for areas of higher focus, such as kitchens, offices and studies. While there are dimmable GU10 lamps, potential problems such as flickering or flashing may arise if using existing components designed for incandescent lighting. A dimmable GU10 lamp must be paired with a compatible dimmer switch for correct operation.
