Product Information
Full details
This V-TAC LED bulb is designed for users needing reliable and efficient lighting for commercial or residential spaces. Its key benefit is providing a bright, cool white light that replaces older, less efficient halogen lamps while consuming significantly less power. A potential caveat is that it is non-dimmable, meaning it cannot be used with dimmer switches. This reflector-style bulb features stable SMD technology for enhanced durability and offers a wide 100° beam angle.

FAQs
What is the color temperature of this bulb?
The color temperature is 4000 Kelvin (K), which is classified as Cool White.
Can I use this bulb with a dimmer switch?
No, this V-TAC LED bulb is non-dimmable and cannot be used with dimmer switches. Using it with a dimmer may cause damage or malfunction.
How does this LED bulb compare to a 70W halogen lamp?
This 10W LED bulb provides a similar light output (1000 lumens) to a 70W halogen lamp but consumes significantly less energy, leading to cost savings on electricity bills.
What does 'SMD technology' mean for reliability?
SMD (Surface-Mount Device) technology refers to the method of mounting electronic components onto the surface of a printed circuit board. In LED bulbs, it generally contributes to better heat dissipation, higher efficiency, and improved reliability and lifespan.
What is the beam angle and why is it important?
The beam angle is 100°. This wide angle means the light is spread over a larger area, making it suitable for general room illumination rather than focused task lighting.
What are the physical dimensions of the bulb?
The external diameter is 50mm and the external length is 56.5mm.
Is this bulb suitable for outdoor use?
The product description does not specify suitability for outdoor use. It is generally recommended for indoor applications in hotels, bars, commercial, and residential lighting unless explicitly stated otherwise with appropriate IP ratings.
Troubleshooting
Bulb does not turn on
Verify that the power supply is on. Ensure the bulb is correctly seated in the GU10 socket. Check that the fixture's switch is functional. Confirm the bulb is not faulty by testing it in another compatible fixture.
Flickering light
Check for loose connections in the fixture or the bulb seating. Ensure the bulb is not being used with a dimmer switch, as this is a non-dimmable bulb. If the issue persists, the bulb may be faulty.
Reduced brightness over time
Ensure the bulb is not overheating due to poor ventilation. Clean any dust or debris from the bulb's surface. If brightness significantly decreases, the bulb may be nearing the end of its lifespan.
