Hi
I currently have 4 led bulbs in the bathroom and 3 of them arent working. The bulbs that are currently in are
LOMAS LED GU10 220-240V 6000k 6w Not-Dim. I cant find any 6w online would it be okay to fit a 4.6w? Also the bulb doesnt say what colour they are what would they be? Or should i just get a 6000k bulb?
Thanks
 
There are plenty of 6W GU10 led bulbs about if you don't worry too much about the colour temperature.
Toolstation and B&Q sell them, though I would suggest you buy a reputable brand like Philips if you want them to last.
Example (I'm not recommending - just fyi!): Everything Lighting and Electrical at Unbeatable Trade Prices | National Lighting - https://www.nationallighting.co.uk/6w-led-smd-gu10-lamp-warm-white-38-degrees-beam-angle-470lm-3000k-dimmable

6000k is cool white. It's a matter of personal taste, but I find that a bit harsh. 4000k is more pleasant to me, and most of our bulbs are 3000k or 2700k .

Thanks for your reply thats great. Would it be okay to fit 4.6w if 6w arent available?
