Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install the Paul Russells LED bulb, ensure the power is switched off at the mains. Carefully remove the old bulb from the GU10 fitting by gently twisting and pulling. Insert the new LED bulb into the GU10 socket, aligning the pins and pushing gently until it clicks into place. Turn the power back on at the mains.
Compatibility: This bulb is designed for GU10 light fittings. It is not compatible with standard screw-in (Edison) or bayonet fittings. Ensure your fixture is rated for LED bulbs and is not incompatible with GU10 bases.
Care: These bulbs require minimal care. To clean, switch off the power and gently wipe the bulb with a dry or slightly damp (not wet) soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the bulb's finish. Ensure the bulb is completely cool before attempting to clean it.
