Product Information

Full details

This UniBulb LED GU10 bulb is designed for users seeking bright, energy-efficient, and adjustable lighting for various home and professional spaces. Its key benefit is providing a high-quality, daylight-like illumination with significant energy savings and a long lifespan. A minor consideration is that its specific 6500K color temperature is a cool, bright white, which may not be preferred for all ambient lighting needs. This dimmable bulb offers 345 lumens of crisp 6500K light, uses only 3.6W (replacing 50W halogen), and boasts a 25,000-hour lifespan, all with a standard GU10 fitting.

FAQs

What is the color temperature of this bulb?

This bulb has a color temperature of 6500K, which is considered 'Daylight' or cool white. It provides a crisp, bright light.

Can I use this bulb with any dimmer switch?

No, this is an LED bulb and requires an LED-compatible dimmer switch for proper dimming functionality. Standard halogen or incandescent dimmers may not work correctly or could damage the bulb.

How does the 3.6W power consumption compare to a traditional bulb?

The 3.6W LED bulb is designed to replace a traditional 50W halogen GU10 bulb, offering significant energy savings of over 90%.

What is the lifespan of this LED bulb?

The UniBulb LED GU10 bulb has a lifespan of up to 25,000 hours, which is considerably longer than standard incandescent or halogen bulbs.

Is this bulb suitable for enclosed light fixtures?

While the bulb operates cool, it is best to check the specific requirements of your enclosed fixture. Good ventilation is always recommended for LED longevity.

What does '345lm' mean?

'345lm' refers to the lumen output, which is a measure of the bulb's brightness. 345 lumens indicates a moderate level of brightness suitable for task lighting or general illumination.

Can this bulb be used outdoors?

The suitability for outdoor use depends on the fixture. If the fixture is rated for outdoor use and protects the bulb from direct weather exposure, it may be suitable. The bulb itself is not weather-proof.

Troubleshooting

Bulb does not turn on

Ensure the power switch is on. Check that the bulb is correctly seated in the GU10 socket. Verify that the fixture is receiving power by testing with another compatible bulb. If dimmable, ensure the dimmer switch is compatible with LED bulbs and is not set to the lowest setting.

Bulb flickers or strobes

This is often caused by an incompatible dimmer switch. Ensure you are using an LED-compatible dimmer. Check for loose connections in the fixture or switch. Try the bulb in a different, known-working fixture without a dimmer to confirm bulb function.

Bulb is dim even at full brightness

Confirm that the dimmer switch is set to its maximum setting. Check if the bulb is rated for the required brightness for the application. Ensure the fixture is not faulty.

Bulb turns off intermittently

This could indicate overheating due to poor ventilation in the fixture or a faulty dimmer. Ensure the fixture has adequate airflow. If the issue persists, the bulb may be defective.
