We have about 10 lights using these GU10 bulbs.




The knobbly surface of 60 LEDs gives plenty of grip, and you don't need
to change them often.



If you haven't yet got 60 LEDs in your GU10s, then replace them. Maybe
use an angle grinder to get the old ones out.


I read bad reports about GU10 leds. Short life etc. True ?


That's the least of your worries. I know plenty of horror stories of
people cheapskating on GU10 LED bulbs, getting them from ebay, and they
catch fire.

Really, don't cheapskate on cheap Chinese made LED lighting... Stick to
the brands you know (OSRAM etc...)
