A. Our LED GU10's are the same shape as a GU10 Halogen so if you have an existing light fitting our LED equivalent will fit. The current selection of LED bulbs are 5mm longer than a standard Halogen GU10 bulb.

A. As we buy direct from the Manufacturer we can retail these bulbs at a good price. The major retailers have a higher profit margin and would need to sell the bulbs at approximately twice the price.

A. The average life of our LED GU10 bulb is 35,000 hours and they can last up to 50,000 hours and beyond. The light output will reduce after 50,000 and is thus stated as min life expectancy

A. No, in many peoples opinions, its better. Take a look in the higher end retail outlets displays and LED lamps are often used because the quality of light and its more focused beams highlight features much better than GU10 halogens do.

The light output , beam angle and colour temperature is fixed with GU10 halogens - but with LED options all of these things can be varied- thus LED GU10 offers more choices.

A. Each LED bulb will save you 90% on your electrical costs. Plus as Halogen GU10's have an average life span of 3000 hours and our LED GU10's are rated at 35,000, you will have to use ten halogen bulbs in the time you can use one LED.
