GU10 versus MR16

[spada01]

Just looking at these and can't see why anyone would fit MR16 spots over GU10. They require a transformer which costs more plus there's more wiring to do.

I'm going to buy one of them in an LED version

Is there a benefit of going for MR16 or is GU10 a no brainer?

I agree.

Ok.

Is there a benefit of going for MR16 or is GU10 a no brainer?

Is there a benefit of going for MR16 or GU10 which cost more plus there's more wiring to do or is a proper light a no brainer?

Just my opinion.

It would depend on if you use quartz halogen or not as MR16 only has an advantage with quartz halogen. And even then it depends on what the voltage is like in your area.

Assuming nothing silly like a dimmer is used then the inverter will control the voltage with MR16 lamps so quartz halogen are brighter but not too bright so they burn out.

Where local voltage is stable the likely the GU10 will work just as well. But where the voltage fluctuates then the MR16 will work better.

However MR16 will not work with cold cathode lamps and has no build in system to stop Dichroic (GZ10) from being fitted in holders not designed for Dichroic (GU10) so the GU10 is better for fire prevention than MR16.

Hmm.

Is there a benefit in going for candle-shaped lamps over screw-in ones?

MR16 produces a far superior light over GU10 lamps.

Do candle lamps produce a far superior light over bayonet cap ones?

Is this

what is meant by a screw bulb. I think spiral-type better describes it.

Do candle lamps produce a far superior light over bayonet cap ones?

To compare the light from a paraffin wax candle with a lamp using a bayonet does seem a little odd lamps similar to these

often did use a bayonet type spigot and because of the elevation compared with a candle then the answer must be "NO" the bayonet lamp gives off a better spread of light to the candle.

Gu10 lamps can be the same as Mr 16 lamps
Mr 16 is just a 2 inch diameter multi faceted reflector lamp

Mr16 lamps can be mains, 12 volt or other voltages

I'm going to buy one of them in an LED version

Then you would struggle to find an Mr16 one of those it proberly dont exist

 

[ban-all-sheds]

Exactly.

Gu10 lamps can be the same as Mr 16 lamps

Nearly always are.

Mr16 lamps can be mains, 12 volt or other voltages

And can have GU10, or other, bases.
