LED GU10 chooser - So many LED GU10 bulbs, so little time

Which LED GU10 spot bulbs does My Green Lighting recommend?

If you don't want to read all the information about each light bulb to make your own choice, these are our basic recommendations:

Best all round GU10 LED bulb

5.7w LED GU10 Bulb (3000K, dimmable, 600lm =75w, 36° beam)
5.7w LED GU10 Bulb (3000K, dimmable, 600lm =75w, 36° beam)

5.7w LED GU10 Bulb (3000K, dimmable, 600lm =75w, 36° beam)

A quality product with lots of light and it's dimmable

For perfect fit-and-forget GU10 LED lighting, we recommend the 5.7w LED GU10 Bulb (3000K, dimmable, 600lm =75w, 36° beam). It's a great direct replacement for an old style 50w halogen lamp in terms of brightness and light colour and dimming.

The only gotcha is that you might need to replace an old halogen dimmer with a dimmer suitable LED's. The manufacturer recommends the V-Pro dimmers from varilight.

  • Warm white
  • Plenty of light
  • Fully dimmable (with a V-Pro dimmer)

Best non-dimmable option

5.7w LED GU10 Bulb (3000K, dimmable, 600lm =75w, 36° beam)
5.7w LED GU10 Bulb (3000K, dimmable, 600lm =75w, 36° beam)

3.6w LED GU10 Bulb (2700K, non dimmable, 400lm =50w, 36° beam)

Plenty of light but no dimming

For simple on / off GU10 LED lighting, we recommend the 3.6w LED GU10 Bulb (2700K, non dimmable, 400lm =50w, 36° beam). It's a great direct replacement for an old style 50w halogen lamp in terms of brightness, light colour.

Just don't use a dimmer switch.

  • Warm white
  • Plenty of light
  • Great budget option

Most efficient option

2.2w LED GU10 Bulb (2700K, non dimmable, 360lm =50w, 36° beam)

The most light for the least power

If you're looking to use the lowest amount of power and still have plenty of light, this 2w LED GU10 produces over 160 lumens per watt.

  • Warm white
  • Plenty of light
