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 ?


Semi true.

1 in 10 will fail within a week or so based on the last 2000 or so that I
fitted or was involved with fitting.

Send them back to the retailer and get a new one. The ones that do work seem
to work for quite a while.
