I think I will find alternative GU10s


I borrowed a spare GU190 0 from me frind and it fitted.

So it's the piece of **** lamps that dont dim, don't last and don't fit.

Why they dont say on the website 'these dimmable lanps don't really dim,
and they fail in the first 200 hours, and they dont always fit the
sockets' mystifies me ;-)

Ah well. Chalk that one up to experience
