GU10

Dimmable vs non dimmable

A dimmable bulb allows you to control the intensity of the light emitted from your lamp and requires a compatible dimmer switch.

Dimmable bulbs are a popular choice for areas like living rooms and bedrooms that benefit from cosy lighting while non dimmable bulbs are ideal for areas that need constant light such as hallways or kitchens.

FAQs

What are the benefits of GU10 lights?

GU10 lighting provides focused illumination and is perfect for directing bright light in work areas such as kitchens, workshops and offices.

Many GU10 bulbs offer dimming capabilities for improved ambience and LED GU10s are a great eco-friendly option. LED bulbs are highly energy efficient, long-lasting and reliable.

What lighting fixture do I need for a GU10?

GU10 bulbs are designed to fit into GU10 sockets as they have a unique bi-pin base (the pins are usually 10mm apart), with a twist and lock installation method.

This design is often used for recessed lighting, track lighting and other types of spotlighting. Always check that the fixture is designed for GU10 bulbs or get in touch with our experts or local YESSS store if you need advice.

Are GU10s available in different colours?

Our range of GU10 lights range from 2700k - 6500k. 2700k offers warm white for a cosy feel that's ideal for living areas, neutral white is typically 3500k - 4000 and cool white that mimics daylight, suitable for bright task lighting.

What are some handy features to consider when looking for GU10s?

Fire rating

GU10s are often fire rated, especially when used as recessed downlights in commercial areas. The body is usually made from thermal plastic for effective heat resistance. Check the manufacturer's information to check whether your GU10s are fire rated.

Lumens

The higher the number of lumens, the brighter the light emitted. For example, you might prefer a higher number of lumens for offices and kitchens, compared to living rooms and bedrooms.
