Fw: GU10 LED vs GU10 halogen

[Gareth Cook <g@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have some LED GU10's from TLC - and they a different light. Not enough
for internal illumination - but good enough for feature lighting.

I use a pair in the porch outside, so they can stay on longer (1.8w per
bulb) and they are not so bright. The light it a bluey white rather than
what you might be used to with a standard bulb.

I wouldnt use them internally, but great for outside.

I was checking the same thing the other day -

* Standard MR16 50W low voltage lamp - 1010 lux at 1m (according to
Aurora)

* Power LED Floodlight (40-45 deg beam) - 710 lux at 1m (for Collingwood
fitting (http://tinyurl.com/72p9o)

Ok, so their Power LED Spotlight fitting gives 3900 lux at 1m but gives a
narrow 10-12 deg beam.

And that's their lamps with 7 x 3w LED's, whereas their std LED lamps have
3
x 1w LED's, so they must have considerably less light output, but no lux
figure stated that I see atm.
