Looking to replace the GU10's in my house & looking at these LED replacements. Have they reached a point where they are a viable option these days ?
I remember trying some a few years back but the light was very harsh & direct.
Thinking of [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-4-8-10-20-X-3-4-6W-LED-Spotlight-SMD-Bulbs-GU10-MR16-Day-Warm-White-UK-STOCK-/150873116756?pt=UK_Light_Bulbs&var=&hash=item2320bd1054#ht_4814wt_960 ]THESE[/url] but unsure of what to go for, for a hall, kitchen & dining room.
I've got the phillips ones about£11 each,but quite good
We've got Philips LED gu10 replacements in warm white, work fine.
There was a thread on this quite recently with some good info on it.
I suspect that the ones linked may not be ideal, as they're listed as 3200K-3500K for the warm white, and for a decent halogen replacement you want around 2800K.
I find that the Megaman 6W dimmable GU10s in warm white (2800K) are a near perfect replacement for halogens - unless you want to dim them. I don't know of any that don't look horrid when dimmed.
I bought some Megaman GU10s from [url= http://www.energybulbs.co.uk ]energybulbs.co.uk[/url]. About £7 each
Seem fine so far
Been running 3 B&Q ones in the bathroom for a couple of years now with no problems.
Got them in a 3 for 2 deal so worked out good value.
Cheers
