Dimmable LED GU10 Downlights?

[azibux1]

Hi,

I was thinking about fitting some downlights in my room as I currently only have one standard bulb

Recently we changed the kitchen ones to LED GU10s from halogen ones and they are equally as bright so I thought I would fit them in my room too

I was wondering though, would anyone be able to recommend any specific units ,,, I will probably need 9 in total and would preferably be able to dim the lights (providing it isn't very expensive to get ones you can dim)

Hope you can help,
Azibux1

I've been rather apprehensive about LED lamps as I've never liked them, however in the gentlemans room in my lodge, they have warm white led lamps in the cubicles which are actually rather good. I don't know which they are, though.

I wasn't sure how good they would be either but we replaced the kitchen ones and like I said the light output is the same if not slightly better and they give out a nice whiter light too ... And the energy savings so it made sense to get them

It's the cool white ones I'm not keen on, but these ones are warm, so keep a nice ambient sense to the environment.

For what it's worth, they looked like the Sylvania ones, but I can't be sure.

Halers are good. KSR are good (5 year warranty).
Or if you want to fit standard downlights and swap the lamps fitted some GEC ones from newy & eyre the claim to be brighter than 50w halogen. and (without measuring the candelas) i would say they are right.

I would however wait until you hear from B.A.S. as he will put you right about any down lighting questions you may have.

Thanks for all the replies and the couple of recommendations

I am not 100% sure if this is what I want at the moment so I will post back here once I've decided if I want downlights or a standard light then come for more advice.. Just thinking it is going to be a lot of work removing all the insulation etc

Thanks

Indeed.

I like your opinion on things. You take a lot of time to produce lots of informations.

Is BAS's reply better, or worse than giving a reply that gives absolutely no information though?
Consider your non-informative utterances

How helpful, not.

Yeah? And? So? Isn't this an open forum?

What's your point? Just come to have a dig? Come for a reaction? Bored?

And for what it's worth, your post was just as uninformative and unhelpful.

I had nothing to contribute to the thread, so I did not contribute anything.

Until you added a post with nothing in it. At that point I had something to say.
And yes, I was having a dig.

How very imaginative of you.

Do you have the feel good factor right now?

Those are good. But too long.

These are better & even cheaper at N&E too.
