Slowly grinding on with the cooker hood.
I finally got the whole thing apart today, which included having to
take out the GU10 light fittings and take off the chrome trim.

Bad deed of the day - I looked at the back of the fittings and there
seemed to be a big black tab to turn to free them. Hmmm....bit stiff.
Bit of extra twist with the pliers. There, done.

Followed by the sound of bits of GU10 falling down inside the casing.
Turns out they weren't catches, but the whole fitting turned. As the
fitting was a right angle elbow, the lights needed removing first.
Ah, well, one needed replacing anyway.

So to GU10 LEDs of 50W equivalent. Screwfix lists quite a few
different manufacturers.

Any to go for, any to avoid?


Are you 100% sure these are GU10s in the cooker hood?

Well, I was until you questioned it.

They look like GU10s with the two dimples which lock into the fitting.

Not sure what else they could be?

Ah! Well spotted that person.

Apparently they are G4W halogen lights. Just found that in the manual.
Then again I can't seem to find any reference on line to a GW4 halogen
-
and the model in the manual looks slightly different.

As you were - they are GU10s because fortunately I haven't thrown the
broken remains of the old ones away yet and it has GU10 printed on the
ceramic bit.

Phew!

Sorted! :-)

All I need now is an answer to my original question, which was a request
for recommendations for brands of LED GU10 bulbs.


An absence of definitive "brand" recommendations presumably means
don't go too cheap & don't feel the need to go high... After all
"brands" are sold & bought for precisely the reasons you are
attaching weight to them...

Buy local (toolsatan /screwfux) & you can return easier if not
good enough, easier returns
than say eBay from China , but you'll
pay more for that privilege...

Amazon?
