Have you got a link for the 5w version? I can't find any at that price.
Thanks

Looks like the price of the 5w has gone up to £7.99 since I looked this morning at 10 o'clock sorry.

These are 281 lumens, so not that bright

4 watt led is not equivalent to a 40w gu10. More like 5/6 w will replace a 40w, I have 8w and they are just about a 50w equivalent. Good price though, especially the 5w if as stated they are dimmable.

Watts are not really a very good measure since this is simply the consumption of the bulb, regardless of efficiency. Lumens are the meaningful measurement of light output (assuming the manufacturers are honest of course!).

Back to 4.99 again guys :wink:

Can you stick an LED bulb directly into where a conventional halogen GU10 bulb has been?

usually but not always. If there are transformers and the ilk installed you may get an issue. obvious solution buy 1 bulb for a pound from poundland and test.

Yes as long as you are replacing like for like on the connection type, you will only run into problems if you are using dimmable bulbs where the type of dimmer switch is important.

Yes, GU10 bulbs are mains voltage so you can just exchange the standard halogens for an LED GU10. It's the low voltage lighting (example MR11 & MR16) that requires you to mess around with exchanging the existing transformer for what is called an LED driver.

All gu10 are mains voltage as far as I am aware, never seen one that wasn't.

This is so wrong. :confused:

About 3 years ago I tried out several LED replacements for halogen GU10s. Most were one or more of the following:
-too big to fit in a standard ceiling recess
-very dim (despite their 'watts equivalent' and lumens claims)
-had spotlight narrow beams (to make up for the above)
-colour temperature was way too blue
-had very gapped colour banding (so colours look odd compared to sunlight)
-they started flickering and failed very quickly.
Eventually I found a random model on Amazon that were amazing, even better than the halogens they replaced in colour, beam spread and beam consistency and all 10 of them have lasted 3 years.
Are all LED bulbs up to the job yet?

Do you remember which brand was it that you found very good?

I bought the 4w to replace my gu10 bulbs in the ceiling. They fit perfectly and are brighter than my standard 40w halogen ones. Maybe because I went for the cool white which are bright white instead of yellow like my standard halogen bulbs. Really impressed.
