Current Best GU10 LED Lamps

[securespark]

There's been a lot of threads recently discussing the merits of LED lighting.

I'm looking to replace 8 GU10 CFL's with LED lamps.

From searching, Warm White is the colour to go for.

These seem to be favoured:

How do they compare with 50W GU10's and 11W CFL GU10's on light output?

Which lamps would you choose?

What about beam angle?

The only problem with those is the look like absolute **** when they are off.

I am big fan of Philips LED GU10's, In the room I'm in now, I've got 6 x Philips Ambience (cheap ones) in Warm White, with a 36D angle and only 4W each, and they are only marginally dimmer than 50W.

Philips Master are a bit more expensive but right now they look the bomb

Yeah, unfortunately, they're like the CFL's: longer, and they stick out of my fixed lampholder fittings.

The Philips Master? They do smaller ones now, I'll admit the massive silver ones are...massive

These do the business for me - can't fault them.

Most of these seem to be the equivalent of 35W, not 50 and a beam angle around the late thirties.

Are there any (that you recommend) that are the equivalent of 50W & 60 degrees?

I'm trying to match the lamps that preceded the current CFL's.

I've got some similar to these in the kitchen and bathroom and seem ok. Only is was that I ordered cool white rather then warm white.

BTW I didnt use this seller, purchased mine over a year ago

I recently replaced some outdoor lights with 3 x 3w (9w) led lamps and they are excellent. They were only £4 each and give the same brightness and colour as the original gu10s. They actually give a cleaner beam of light that the gu10s. Dimmable too. Make sure you get warm white if you want a similar colour temp.

This kind of thing...

I've been using these fro about 6 months (at home) http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/LTGU9W.html

The light is better than the 50w halo they have replaced. Have used some of the lower watt ones in areas that are light, but not reading power light.

The daylight white is crisp, but on white surfaces such as the basins, wc and bath they do have a slight sodium tint.
