Product Spotlight: GU10 LED Light Bulbs

LED light bulbs are becoming more popular year after year as many households across the country are beginning to replace their old incandescent bulbs with new LEDs.

At LED Supplier, we pride ourselves on our GU10 LED Light Bulbs which we manufacture for our customers from across the UK.

Halogen bulbs have been a reliable source of lighting for many years now however now is the time that many people have decided to make the switch to the latest LED technologies.

If you are considering making the change from incandescent to LED bulbs then these bulbs will be the perfect choice to start with.

 

What Are GU10 Light Bulbs?

The GU10 bulb is the most commonly found LED bulb seen in UK houses today due to its versatility and sustainability, these make them excellent household lights and are wonderful for supplying ambient lighting for you or any potential guests you may invite over.

The term GU10 refers to the types of fittings used by the bulbs referring to the fact that at the centre of the base of the bulb are two pins that are spaced 10mm apart.

These bulbs provide a high-quality lighting set-up in your house all while being the energy-saving option for lights, the beam is bright and powerful but is never overbearing to any kind of room or setting.

These bulbs are also very easy to install into your previous halogen fit-outs meaning that you can rest assured that there will be no need for the difficult, arduous process of installing a brand-new lighting arrangement.

 

Design

The GU10 light bulb is designed with a frosted cover meaning that the LED chip will not be visible from any side when installed whether they are on or off.

This product can emit three variations of the white light produced by the bulbs, the product variants are listed below:

Natural White Light - These are white LED lights that are completely neutral, they are perfect for any general lighting requirements as they will provide the ambience of a cloudless summer’s day. These are suited to any space indoors or outdoors.

Cool White Light - This colour is typically used for task lighting as these are usually placed in many of the places in which you may need sufficient lighting for work and are also popular in kitchen lighting.

Warm White Light - This colour closely resembles the colour outputs of a traditional incandescent light bulb with its yellow, warm glow. These give a cosy and calming atmosphere to your rooms and are ideal for ambient lighting.

 

Properties

Our GU10 LED lights are filled with the desirable properties that one may require for any type of indoor lighting.

These lights produce 480 lumens, have a 38-degree beam angle and above all can do this while only using 7 watts of power making them incredibly energy efficient. The total shelf life of these products is over 30,000 hours if maintained properly, this is over 10x longer than the traditional incandescent bulbs of the past.

GU10 bulbs are also available as halogen lights however these are considerably less energy efficient and much less versatile compared to the vast amounts of things that the LED bulbs can be used for.

 

Are GU10 LED Lights Dimmable?

When buying these types of lights, it is important to note that there is both a dimmable and a non-dimmable version of the bulb.

If you choose to buy the dimmable version, then it is paramount that you check that you have a dimmer switch that is compatible with the GU10 bulbs you have purchased, if not, then you may need to replace the dimmer switch with another that is compatible.

 

Energy Efficiency

All LED-powered products have an excellent energy efficiency rating however these may be some of the best at retaining and even exceeding the quality of older types of bulbs while being much more efficient.

When you compare these to their halogen counterparts, the LED bulbs will hold just as many lumens as the halogen bulb however they will be using just 10% of the power that the halogen equivalent.

This saving of energy could result in you seeing the immediate real-life effects when paying your bills. Just by switching to LED bulbs, you could save yourself over £100 a year on energy bills, making this seem like a must-have product.

If used around eight hours per day, these bulbs could last you as long as 50,000 hours, that’s almost 17 years! In contrast, a halogen bulb will be required to be changed around 3 times per year on average, showing the sheer difference in regards to saving energy.
