sanlumia 10 X 5W GU10 LED Super Bright Spotlight Bulb 430lm 100 Degree Beam Angle Non Dimmable 50W Halogen Equivalen Frosted Difuser Cool White 6400K

Needed these as one bulb had blown in the kitchen. Best to have replacements to hand.

If only I had worn my sunglasses at night, then I would have been able to keep the vision of my eyes.Unfortunately after connecting these bulbs into the spotlight bar, and switching on, the lack of sunglasses meant I could see the light before my eyes. It was bright. So bright I was blinded by the light. It also managed to reach all the dark area, so the vampire that used to stand in the corner behind the door was burned from the outside and left nothing but a a pile of ash.I should have listened to the teenage diplomat, but I was feeling older (and wiser). Turns out he was right.I now have such a well lit kitchen that pilots use it as a reference point to orient to the local airfield.

I bought these to replace 6 tiltable halogen spotlights in the kitchen which were starting to die. Compared with these (mixture of 20 and 35W) the LEDs are fantastic and much less orange in spectrum by comparison. The wife says it is now a pleasure to work in the kitchen and should have been replaced years ago. We went for natural white (4000°K) comparable with horizon daylight from the sun (5000°K) and slightly warmer than overhead daylight (6000°). Taking the decor into account we find it BRIGHT but comfortable and great to work in.The defuser adds another 10p per bulb and a slightly convex surface which sticks well to the suction cup tool for fitting. I got these to avoid any obvious pooling of light and, to be honest, to reduce the light output as they were already twice as bright as the halogens. I would say the beam angle is more like 180° rather than the 100° (or is it 120°?) stated, judging by the pattern in the ceiling.If we used them 7 hours a day all year they should last 6 years. We’ll see! Very happy so far.

Bought for my workspace to brighten it up, my eyes aren't as good as once they were, so I needed more light. These fit that requirement!!

****UPDATE RE LONGEVITY - Of the 20 of these I've purchased, I've replaced 8 of them within 5 months. The illumination just died in 7 of them, there was barely any light. In the 8th, it just continued to trip the fuse after 5 minutes of light time. Replaced the bulb for a nearby store bought bulb and no issues.After purchasing 20 of these bulbs I now need to replace all of them. ****Just received a pack of 10 this week. So far so good. Used in garden spot lights and give a nice warm glow around the lighted areas.So far they are good value for money. Can’t comment on longevity or efficiency but can only expect both the high.Plan to purchase another 10 to replace existing halogens around the house.Only one thing I would say, it is would be helpful if these bulbs came with a little suction cap to help with fitting into light unit. But this is not a negative.

Rating is based on subjective quality of life improvement.We bought these for our bedroom. All bulbs we previously had were much cooler colours, were very narrow beams and had clear (or no) diffusers. This meant the room was never fuly lit and light was very piercing to the eye. Also with blue room, the lighting was overall terrible. Specifically sought bulbs that were wider angled, had a frosted diffuser and warmer. These fit the bill exactly on paper, and upon inserting the bulbs, fit the bill perfetly in practice. We picked the warm white (3000K). I wish I could have seen what the natural white (4000k) would have looked like, as these are so much yellower than our previous bulbs, but overall we are extremely happy with the choice regardless.We have previously bought several other makes and many bulbs have blown in short space of time (between 1-10 days), even found some out of the box non-functional. Haven't been bothered to check all these bulbs are functional, but the first 3 I picked out the box were functioning, and as stated, doing so in a lovely fashion.

Was very pleased with these when we initially bought them in the March, they give a very white light which was ideal for cooking!Having used them for a best an hour over the last seven months we have already had to replace three of the bulbs as they have simply stopped working so whilst I like the light from them there is no longevity to them and for this reason I would no longer recommend them

Nothing to dislike or like about them just yet.
