Before the arrival of the GU10 lamp and LED lighting technology, your only choice of downlight was the low voltage 50W MR16, things have certainly come a very long way in the world of downlights. The GU10 lamp was originally available in a 50W versions, but wasn't as bright as the 50W low voltage MR16.

The lumen output of a 50W GU10 halogen was 350-400 lumens, when you're buying an LED alternative, you need to compare the lumen values to make sure your getting an equivalent brightness. Or we have options that are comparable to an 80W halogen, which are great if you want something brighter.

Its's cheap to buy, easy to replace and available in a wide variety of lumen outputs, colour temperatures and beam angles.
