Which LED GU10?

[AJ16]

Can anyone recommend a 7.5W LED GU10? I was using a Sylvania lamp but it's no longer produced. The 5W ones are not quite bright enough for my bathroom.
Thanks

Don't use the Robus 650(?) Lumen ones from Screwfix. They cost around £12.00 each and yes they are bright, but are also seemingly prone to failure. Two out of four failed within six months.

So more like screw ed unfix?! Philips or Megaman lamps always work for me

Never buy nowt from them, it's like buying from B&Q with aspirations of being a grown up!

I'll second Megaman after recent advice from this forum.

They do a 6 and 7W LED, I got them online from Fastlec, really good service, ordered online got them 2 days later. You would be hard pressed to find them cheaper.

Megaman for me £5.50 + vat Wilts

One question= after 8 years here are you still a DIY enthusiast?

Megaman for me too. Especially if you want dimmable LED lamps that work effectively.

Looks good, I'm after warm white but bright, I see the Megaman 6W warm white one is 2800K 'very warm white'. Just wondering if they would give the same light as a 50W dichroic??

Sylvania got back to me yesterday to say that they the 7.5W has been replaced by a 5.5W which is brighter, they are sending one for free to replace one that failed on Sat, so will be interested to see what it's like. It's called a RefLED Superia ES50 V2

price good but from where?

 

[AJ16]

I'm hoping the new Sylvania one will be good although not sure on pricing. What is the position now on dimming GU10 LEDs? Do you still need a minimum number to give best results?

I've installed 60 lumilife GU10's from LED hut and the customer is well impressed. 5W and they're bright. First time I've used them. 13 of them are on dimmer switches which I have to replace to LED compatible dimmers. LED hut recommend varilight pro dimmers so will see how they fair. Anyone used them?

Just make sure you buy from a local supplier with a "stated" warranty!

So the dimmers work fine. Only problem is there is a slight hum from the lamps.
