GU10 LED Bulb Recommendation

BREALSY

I've been doing a fair amount of research into the LED bulb realm and I've decided to replace my inefficient GU10 halogens. If anyone could suggest some reliable bulbs as per the req below I would be most grateful.

COB/SMD LED variety
50W equivalent ~ 400 Lumen
Warm White in colour ~2700k
Price <£20 ea

Some of your spec means nothing to me, but we have been buying from Lightup UK and LED hut. We have bought 4w dimmables in both "warm white" and" daylight" , as we have dimmer switches. They have a 120 degree beam angle.

Less lumens than you specified, but good enough for us. They have replaced 60w incandescent spotbulbs.

LED Hut are cheaper, but after trying both, I prefer the ones from Lightup for colour and dimming.

Price was £6 to £9 each.

6W looks good, is it a nice white light ?
LEDs have come on recently I have 3 sets of under cabinet lights great white light only 4W per set. :beer:

Aurora - Megaman - Philips - Osram.

All the above are decent lamps and I use a lot of lamps in my job, I have used all of the above and never had any of them fail on me yet.

Some are coming upto 3 years old and have been on 11 hours a day 7 days a week 363 days a year.

Personally I wouldn't touch amazon or the likes of for buying lamps as there are far too many fake ones about, some have caused fire some are live ! pop down to your local electrical wholesalers and get them from there.

Best to go with the big names, some of the cheaper lamps have "compromised" build quality.

If you happen to be a member, Costco tend to have some good deals.

I've used Kosnic LEDs but had quite a few fail in 3 years. They've replaced them under warranty but even some replacements have failed.

I would only choose a brand which will honour their warranty, as I am not convinced yet on the real life of LEDs.

I suggest that you work out how long it will take to recover your initial costs, as I would be looking for no more than a year, which is usually kitchen and living rooms.

I will now buy from the local electrical wholesaler for their experience and service.

I've got these but they're out of stock now, and 'even more out of stock' for your GU10 version:
http://www.energysavingled.com/product/special-offers/v6-7w-led-spot-mr16/
and they are excellent. Check the lumens, and the beam angle - as well as the colour temp of course.
So check this one out instead - you want Warm White for 2700K.

Excellent customer service from these guys too.
