I have more than 40 GU10 type spotlights in my house, so am very interested in cutting the amount of electricity they consume from the 35 or 50 watts of the originally installed halogen bulbs to the 4.0 to 5.5 watts of equivalent LEDs. If, as is the case, LEDs save more money over the long run, plus time and trouble, because they need much less frequent replacement, so much the better.As I have experimented with various LED replacement bulbs (nine in total now, all different), I have discovered that the key numbers to look out for are the colour temperature and the beam angle. Whether a bulb consumes 4.0, 4.5, 5.0 or 5.5 watts really isn't hugely important when replacing a bulb using almost ten times as much power - and anyway,how accurate within that wattage range is the claim? Neither am I too bothered whether a bulb boasts an average life of 15,000 hours, 40,000 hours, or something in between. In most home situations, even 15,000 hours of use is likely to extend over ten years or more, 40,000 so long that we will in all likelihood be changing the light units before the bulb blows - if we are still living in the same house. So long as other performance features of the bulb meet my needs, and the unit cost of the bulb is right, even 15,000 hours will do for me. At the top of this page and on the packaging, this bulb claims a life of 'only' 15,000 hours, but on the details that appear if you click on 'see more product details' (near the top of the page), the specification says 25,000 hours. Conclusion? Erm... well, it takes such a long time waiting for these bulbs to blow, Philips seem to have decided for the most part to play on the safe side.In a commercial situation, where lights in, say, a shop window, could be on for more than 8500 hours a year, bulb life might be a consideration and, given that it is dimmable, this bulb could be regarded as being aimed at the commercial sector. Dimmer switches tend only to operate satisfactorily on circuits with at least 40 watts of lighting. That's ten or more of these bulbs. Other than in commercial situations, not many people have ten or more GU10 lights on a single switch.The colour temperature is 2700k. That achieves a good match to what we are most used to from GU10s. Many LED replacements offer 3000k whilst still calling themselves warm white, but 3000k is a noticeably whiter light.

I'm going back a few years now, but once upon a time in our house a lightbulb was just a lightbulb. Usually 40w and the question of colour never really entered into the discussion. White was white. One was much the same as the next one. They were cheap as chips and we always had a ready stock of replacements for when any of them blew. They blew a lot. It never really occurred to us how much electricity they were running away with either.Then came the advent of energy saving bulbs and we got a ton of them from our electric company and thought we'd never need buy another bulb ever again, if the unheard of lifespan of the things was to be believed. They were supposed to lower the electricity bill too,although with energy price hikes we never really did see a return on them. Tuns out the longevity of them was on the optimistic side too.Now we have the newest 'upgrade' in bulbs. LED's, and I'm all for it. The light is nice and bright (and comes in 'warm' white now. Marvelous), the longevity is supposedly longer than ever and they're even more energy saving than the energy saving bulbs. It's all good.There are so many to choose from now but personally I like to stick to home-grown bulbs. These may not the cheapest bulbs out there but I trust Philips as a manufacturer to supply quality and from the packaging down to the bulb itself these are definitely quality bulbs.I never thought the day would come when I'd hear myself raving about lightbulbs but after trying so many dud bulbs I'm happy to be trying a new model from a brand I have faith in. I have this one in my kitchen alcove where I have two spots. The previous spotlight that we had in there (not Philips) didn't last for what seemed like 6 months, probably due to the fact that the house is always lit up like Blackpool so I'm keen to see how this one shapes up. It does have a lovely 'warm' white glow and casts a decent distance. What I like most about it is that it doesn't get warm. I've had a couple of other brands soften the plastic housing because of the heat they generate. I'm all over these ones and will buy several more to replace our other spotlights with.If the claims are to be believed I won't have to replace it for another 15 thousand hours so I'm all over that. Fingers are crossed.

I have many many GU10s in my house, and use a mixture of Philips, Aurora and LightingEver brands. They all have their pros and cons, but I do consistently find the Philips to be the most reassuring in their construction.This particular model (19286200) offers a few key points:2700K colour temperatureDimmable25,000hrs predicted lifespan“Spot” angle (36 degrees)350 candela lux output4Watt consumptionIgnore the fact that it is “35W equivalent”, because that is fairly meaningless as even 35W halogen bulbs could vary wildly in their performance.In a run of 3 GU10s along my second landing, this bulb produces a noticeably more yellow-tinged light than the other two (a 3000K Philips Master,and a 3000K LightingEver wide beam). It’s not at all unpleasant, but might be worth thinking about if you are planning on pairing it up with others that are slightly different colour temperatures.Although this bulb is a narrow beam angle, it doesn’t actually feel as narrow as I was expecting, offering a similar spread of light to the other two. Sometimes the fitment that it sits in can affect things however.The amount of light output is perfectly adequate, and if the 350 candela rating is to be believed, is definitely worthy of lighting main passageways.The higher unit price aspect of this bulb I suspect is purely down to the “Dimmable” feature - which happens to be something I don’t have use of at present. Non-dimmable varieties always cost less, so if this isn’t an attribute you will get use out of, you might want to consider a cheaper alternative.If however you are likely to benefit from the dimmable feature, then this is a great, warm-coloured spot-angle bulb from a reputable brand. At £9.99 (at time of review) it feels like fair value for money compared to others of similar specification.

I was sort of 'willed' a four GU10 spot array in the kitchen after my mum died (she had chosen it) and was having constant problems with prematurely blown halogen bulbs. After several messy accidents with a sharp knife in the inky gloom, I stumbled upon the new LED bulbs that were becoming available. They clearly run a lot cooler than the original halogen bulbs and this translates into longer life and a significant cost saving. Yes they are an expensive initial purchase but I was changing halogen bulbs every three to four weeks at one point. Conversely even early LED bulbs have lasted six months to a year before starting to go dim and flicker. The quality and longevity of LED's is improving all the time so,in my mind they're a no-brainer but I have been trying different types as they all differ in the type of light they produce and the spread of light. I tried this one to replace the last of the early designs that was starting to go a bit 'yellow' at the edges. I always try them 'back to back' with the last of my 35W halogen bulbs to test if they really are equivalent. These bulbs are, as they claim, excellent at colour rendering and the light allows you to see when the wholemeal toast is starting to go (more) brown in the toaster. There's none of the 'yellow haze' you used to see in older LED designs around the edges of the lit area. These really are white. The amount of light is equivalent to 35W halogen but I always found halogen light to be a bit 'harsh' and I feel that these modern LED's cast a more eye friendly light. If you too have white tiling you'll know what I mean. The Halogens used to make me go 'snow blind'. I thoroughly recommend that you give these a try.

Philips LED GU10 4 W Spotlight Warm White Light BulbLED bulbs.---------------I have a 3 bulb rail in my kitchen and put in 3 non branded far eastern made LED bulbs last year. They have all died and were not very good I have to say.Philips are better!------------------------I was advised to replace them with branded but more expensive ones. I bought these Philips ones and what a difference. For a start the build quality is great and they feel much more substantial that the cheapies I had. The also twist click into the holders very positively unlike the others.Colour and output.-------------------------The bulbs are rated a 2700 Kelvin and give a nice even white light.They don’t have a warm up time and the light is there as soon as you switch on – the cheap ones were dim and yellowish for about 10 minutes.The coverage is good and I would estimate around 35 degrees. The light output is even and each of the three bulbs I own seem to have exactly the same output and spread so the quality control is there, this is why you spend a few pounds more on each one I suppose and Philips have a reputation to keep.Overall.----------Branded bulbs are better than the generics in my opinion and if these last as long as they say I will save a lot of money on my bills. LED bulbs have come down in price enough now and the technology matured enough to make these a worthwhile investment. I have no hesitation in recommending these Philips branded bulbs.We have all of our bulbs in the house now on the LED system and I can see a difference in my bill since having them. Great bulbs from Philips.

Excellent build quality and look very smart. I have normal Halogen spots in various places in the house, and they consume quite a bit of electric, get very hot, and seem to blow regularly. These LED spot bulbs answer all those questions, consuming some 87% less electric, do not get excessively hot and have a life expectancy of 15 years as claimed, but the technical details say 25,000 hours, which is about 3 years at 24 hours a day.This is the 4W (equivalent to 35W) warm white (2700K) version. It's incredibly bright, don't look directly at it. I would say it's brighter than a 35W Halogen, but the light beam is more focused, so you get much more of a `spot' compared to Halogen.The warm white is a yellower shade than normal halogen spots, and are the ideal replacement for the existing standard Halogen bulbs in my bedroom, I found it too yellow for the living room.They do dim, but I'm using a standard, cheap and cheerful dimmer, rated at 60W min, I tried dimming with a 6W and 3x4W LED bulb (so 18W total), and it only dimmed on the first 5 clicks of the 15 click range, providing 5 big steps from very dark to full bright. Adding two 50W Halogens to the same 4 spot rail, the dim range increased to 7 clicks, indicating the LED bulb load was too low for the dimmer to work correctly. I probably need a more advanced dimmer, but these are generally quite expensive.All in all, a great bulb, especially for bedrooms where the colour is right, but remember to consider the limited dimming.

The problem with LED bulbs is that you need to remortgage the house to afford them. Unfortunately, in the past I have tried to reduce this outlay by buying the cheaper brands, and found that although they work fine for a while, they generally don't make it more than a year before breaking, falling apart (literally) or developing some other fault. This meant that they had not lasted long enough to recoup the initial outlay, costing me money.As a result I'm replacing all my bulbs with Phillips (or Reon) bulbs, as these bulbs, although significantly more expensive, seem to last (the oldest I have is about 3 yrs and going strong), which pleases me because they are now saving me money.This specific bulb is rated at 4w,which I imagine means that it produces less light than my other 6 w bulbs next to it. No doubt it does, but I can't tell the difference - it seems bright enough to me.Colour temperature is spot on & it comes on immediately without a warm up time. It consists of 4 LED's and although it is specced as having a spread of 36 degrees, it does a better job of spreading the light than similarly specced single LED bulbs.In terms of form factor, it is exactly the same size as halogen GU10's and will fit some dimmer switches (you need to check what type of dimmer you have).

This light bulb has the benefit of instant light with none of the dreaded warm up time low energy light bulbs are famous for.It gives out plenty of light ( more than I was expecting for this wattage), enough to replace my standard ( expensive to run) gu 10 bulbs without much difference to the light and because they are dimmable it gives you control over how bright you want things.It is too early to comment on the bulbs life span but the manufacturer states 25,000 hours an I see no reason to doubt this.It is a well made product from a reputable brand, not a knock off Nigel from some sweatshop out in the back of beyond and has all its safety marks.The main attraction is undoubtedly the lowerrunning cost and with the energy companies forever plotting to put the prices up when we need power the most it is good to know that this bulb will save my hard earned cash and we can still afford light this winter***** 1 year on*******Still going strong and exactly as good as the day it came out of the box.As for my electricity bill- to be honest I need to evict my children and their power hungry devices before there will be a big fall in that, but I am not as bothered when they leave the light on for hours with no one in the room any more because these are cheap to run

I ordered 2 batches of these (36 in total) from this product page within the space of a couple of weeks. The first from Biggest Discount (fulfilled by Amazon) and the second direct from Amazon. Both share this product page and have the same description, but what I got was slightly different. From Biggest Discount I got all 4W white plastic bulbs, from Amazon, I got 10 x the same white plastic bulbs and 12 x 4.2W grey plastic bulbs. Both are Philips and dimmable and even share the same barcode but the grey colour was unexpected. I'm keeping them anyway, will just put the greys together in one room and whites in another.As bulbs they work fine. Nice colour tone, like halogens. They dim a little,but not enough, on my existing (non-LED) dimmers, but at least are stable and not flickering. Will have to get dedicated LED dimmers to get the full benefit of these. The light is quite concentrated in the centre if you look at the bulb. If you have a baby looking up at them you would really need to dim them. A faint light also lingers for a few seconds in the centre of the bulb after you turn them off, but not a big deal. Will be buying more.

I purchased these to replace the final four incandescent GU10s in the house. I had already replaced 18 other GU10s around the house with a mix of Philips MyVision, MyAmbiance and Econic LEDs. These were installed in a group of 4 at one end of our lounge, alongside 6x 4w Philips MyAmbiance GU10s.Although the glass lens on these is smaller, they seem to throw light just as far as the older style bulbs. The specs list them as putting out slightly more lumens, however to my eye they're marginally less bright than the MyAmbiance dimmables. They replaced 50w halogens and while possibly marginally dimmer, it's close and I'd certainly rate then above the 35w equivalence that they state.Colour is good,a very halogen-y warm white, with none of the pink tinge of the Econic bulbs. They do dim, however if you've got a cheap dimmer like me, that relies upon the circuit having a certain amount of load, they'll only dim a small amount.Overall, strongly recommended - with this final batch we can now have all of the lights in the living room on and only consume 40w of electricity.....rather than the 500w with halogens!

Philips make the best GU10 LEDs on the market and have done since the master range came out a few years ago. In fact I've swapped all of my halogen bulbs with Philips LEDs now and the energy saving is significant. The quality of the light is absolutely indistinguishable from halogens if you are using the warm white 2700K bulbs. The only problem was the price. This model is much more affordable then the previous ones RRP 14.99 instead of RRP of 26 pounds - however I'm stumped why even with amazon discount it is more expensive then the current 5watt bulb (10.95 versus 7.99). So loses a star on price!As they are dimmable - get the 5 watt bulb and if its too bright just reduce it with the dimmer!Just a reminder to anyone thinking of changing over - don't forget that you will probably need to change your dimmer switch. I had to because all of my standard dimmer switches had a minimum load that was higher than the combined wattage of all of the LEDS. I recommend Varilight V Pro which works perfectly with these bulbs.

In our house, this GU10 35 W equivalent has gone into a small desk lamp which always gave great light, but became unpleasant — even dangerously — hot with the traditional GU10 halogen bulb. The light output is great, the energy drain is around 1/10th, but, most important of all, the bulb and metal casing remain cool enough to use and leave on without any difficulties.The 'Warm White' of this bulb is slightly 'whiter' than a halogen bulb, which always gives a yellowish white. For a desk lamp, this is great, and will match computer screens better (though if this is critical, get a daylight white, not warm white). For a comforting light to illuminate the corner of a room, you might want something a little warmer.At 4W,this is underpowered if you want to replace ceiling light GU10 45 W bulbs, so that's worth thinking about. However, unlike the old fluorescent replacement bulbs, the equivalences are pretty good, so if it's a 35 W replacement you want, get this one.Very happy with it — we can use our lamp again.

This is a perfect replacement for a Gu10 halogen bulb, and offers a huge energy saving percentage. One bulb doesn't add up to much saving -- a few pounds per year -- but I have 12 GU10s in my kitchen. I experimentally replaced three with cheapo LEDs, and two of them have failed in under a year. You do need to buy a good brand. This one is my fourth Philips, and all are going strong. Sure, they cost more, but we are looking for many years of life.The output seems much the same as a 50w halogen, although only 35w equivalent is claimed. At 100%, the colour is genuinely warm white, but as with all dimmable LEDs, the dimmed light does not go warmer, so you won't get a romantic low light, just less light.Now there's a technical challenge for you, Philips.Construction looks rock solid, and fit in the socket was perfect. I mean to buy more of these. By the time I have replaced all the lamps, the total wattage will end up below the minimum for my dimmer switch, so I will have to replace that.

These are quite bright, they are certainly at least the specified 35w equivalent. They are relatively inexpensive, so there really is no reason to buy the halogen ones any more. Apart from using much more electricity the halogen are heat up tremendously and I've actually had one blow in my kitchen a couple of years ago (it was a branded halogen as well) - so I've switched to all LED since then, which are cool, hopefully safe bulbs.I hate the harsh "cool white" bulbs, so these have the more pleasant "warm white" light. I have them next so some other "4000k white" bulbs and there doesn't seem to be much different, so they might be a bit cooler than the very warm 2700k color that most incandescents have,but it is still not harsh and as I can't be sure I am not deducting any points!One important question is how long will these last. I've only had them for a few months so far, so I can't vouch for that, if they go early though, I'll be back!

My landlord had the smart idea of using halogen lightbulbs through my ground floor. Twenty-eight in total, each burning 50W, which is a ridiculous waste of energyThankfully this Philips equivalent low energy bulb burns just 4W, for an effective output of 35W. Interestingly it is almost as bright as the 50W halogen, so I think it is a lot closer to 50W equivalence than stated. It doesn’t give off loads of heat and is dimmable. All good.Except... it is a slightly different size to the standard halogen bulb and sits proud of the light fitting by a couple of millimetres. And its face it white not silver.It looks okay – it is not sitting so proud that it looks wrong - but compared to the halogen bulbs it does look out of place,meaning that I need to convert a whole room at a time, rather than replacing bulbs as they expire.Which may or may not matter depending on your situation.Four stars.
