Re: GU10 LED Bulbs

["Paul Bendall" <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Have a look at UltraLEDS they give you the beam angle, the beam=20
colour and the LUM output. You need to be looking at Cree or Nichia=20
based LED technology. They cost significantly more than B&Q but they=20
are the cutting edge of LED technology.

I have three of the following and they are superb (again they are not=20
cheap and also slightly longer than a normal GU10)

- 90-240V AC  High Power Nichia  3 x 1 Watt Single Leds=20
- Flood Light 120'=20
- Warm White 3000K (Looks just the same colour as your regular Bulb)=20
- 250 Lumen (40+ watt standard bulb equiv)=20
- Glass Lens - Metal Case
