GU10 Bulbs
I am looking for the equivalent of a 50w GU10 bulb to fit into some
downlighters that are a lot cooler than the usual halogen one's. Can anyone tell me where to get anything like these? -- Regards M Millar |

If these work in the UK it may be worth looking at the seller shouji_hk or william6.trade on Ebay. Purist |

Somone has recommended GU10 compact fluorescents instead. Google it. Purist |

Rip the things out. If someone really wants downlighters then fit those which will take compact fluorescent reflector bulbs. -- David Hansen, Edinburgh I will *always* explain revoked encryption keys, unless RIP prevents me http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2000/00023--e.htm#54 |

writes I am looking for the equivalent of a 50w GU10 bulb to fit into some downlighters that are a lot cooler than the usual halogen one's. Can anyone tell me where to get anything like these? Search for Megaman lamps - they make fluorescent equivalents to GU10. I've just fitted some in the kitchen. Good and bright with a wide, even pattern. BUT, big BUT, they do take a couple of minutes to warm up, and initial light output for the first 30 or seconds is VERY low, like 5-10%. OK for areas that are on continuously, but not where you need instant light. http://www.bltdirect.com/products.ph...ing+GU10+Lamps -- steve |
