Might get one for me bedroom,Standard light bulbs these days are not very bright imo and are more of a "Yellowish" colour.

Is this LED a clean white and is it bright?

Thanks.

Are there such bulbs, or equivalent of such bulbs to repalce halogen bulbs that seem to be fitted as standard now in kitchens and bathrooms, they are a much smaller bulb, and tend to be 50w or so.
I've stacks of those halogens all over this house and would quite like to replace them with something efficient.

It's a pity there's not more details about that bulb. For example, the wattage and colour temperature.

For a nice clean white light you're looking for a colour temperature of 5000k-5500k. Most household bulbs are in the 2400k-3500k range. Those bulbs produce that yellowish light. Try to avoid bulbs with a colour temperature of more than 5500k. The higher the number the bluer the light.

You're probably looking for 'GU10 LED'

yes actually it likely is something like that I want, there seesm to be great variance, any suggestions on what people have used, fitted and like?

I've got some gu10 energy savers that were installed by my builders when I purchased my house, the colour temp is 2300k which is 'warm' one of the bulbs has gone after 2.5 years, so I've decided to refresh the kitchen with 6500k 'daylight' bulbs which will give me 11 spare bulbs for the rest of the house (kitchen, landings and bathrooms are all gu10 savers)
The ones fitted take a while to warm up, but in the en-suite that's not too bad at 4am you don't get smashed in the face with lots of light!

This bulb is a 6000K colour, for anyone who's interested.

Edit: Is there a significant saving over standard 'energy saving' bulbs? It looks like pennies on the pound to me.

At £12 a pop, they sound hideously expensive. There is next to no information about these lights on the site (lumens and colour). I am puzzled as to how the light would be dispersed with a bayonet type bulb?

I have swapped a whole lot of GU10 bulbs for LEDs and they were cheaper than that. I tried Warm White and Cool White - I prefer Warm White which seems less harsh.

There have been previous threads on GU10 LEDs here - have a look at them for more info.

Sack the purchaser of these lamps tbh

no. an 8w cfl can be left on 24/7/365 for about £8 a year, for this 4.5w led bulb.. around £5 a year.

I replaced all bedroom's G9 bulbs with SMD G9 LEDs. Never going back to reg. lights - no heat and the lifespan should be measured in years, rather than the weeks/months I was getting from the reg. G9 bulbs.
