it was the 6W day white here:
5x GU10 20/38/60 LED 4W/6W High Power Bulbs Lamp Light | eBay
Much brighter than the 50W halogens they replaced data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
There are only 4 LEDS in each bulb so Iam slightly concerned they are overdriven 1W LEDS, but that's only because I have never come across a 1.5W LED.Can you overclock an LED? data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
you can pump more power through but it affects the longevity and efficiency of the led if it isnt rated that high

are they longer that the normal halogens ? I have some fittings that I could get away with them in, but others they would stick out if they were too long
I'll post up a photo tomorrow John.
Here we are, apologies for the fuzziness. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
They are 1cm longer than a standard 50W halogen (on the right).
might go for the 48SMD ones. hmmmmmm
i think the gu10's i got were the same size i cant remember - i will post photo when i get home on friday
mmmmmm.
Most, if not all of my GU10s are 35w.
it might just work.
I think they are 3W and supposed to be 35W equivelant data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
They look just like the ones I got back in November:
6W GU10 White LED Light Bulb lamp AC 85~ 240V | eBay
Very pleased with them so far.As you say they do seem much brighter than the 50W halogens they were replacing but this may just be because it is a white light rather than a warm light as the lumens output is lower on the LED lights compared to the halogens.
I have to say I much prefer the light from the LED bulbs data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
I also bought an ecozone daylight bulb:
Ecozone Biobulb, Energy-Saving Daylight Bulb, Bayonet Cap, 25W: Amazon.co.uk: Lighting
And this is really good too.
I'm waiting until I have done a big extension before changing out all the bulbs as light fittings will be changed completely.
