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
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
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.
