You might spend days trawling on-line forums reading opinions on LED light bulbs. There’s such a vast variety of quality, cost as well as colours to look at, as well as that’s before you get into dimming performance.

Some time ago I asked an installer good friend to suggest a bulb for us to replace the halogen GU10’s in our kitchen.

From his experience of a large variety of makes as well as models, employing them across many different installations with different dimmers he suggested the Megaman LR1206dDGv2-WFL.

Megaman state these 6 Watt LEDs create 410 Lumens as well as are equivalent to 35 Watts in old money. We replaced the dozen 50w halogens in our kitchen area with them, reducing our power usage from 600 Watts to just 72.

That 88% in power reduction has made extremely bit noticeable difference to the light level in the space as well as the beam angle (quoted as 35 degrees) seems ideal.

The body is very somewhat longer (57mm) than the halogen bulbs they replaced as well as sit a little proud of our eyeball fittings in the kitchen area ceiling. however when they’re installed you don’t notice as well as it’s not been an issue.

The “Warm white 2800K” colour is a great deal more appealing that a few of the bulbs we’ve tried in the past that had a much chillier industrial feel. Bulb life is quoted as 25,000 hours.

Prices fluctuate however these bulbs are around £10 at the time of writing.  You can buy cheaper of course, however they’re by no means the top price, these Philips Master LEDs have a great reputation for example however are currently around 40% more.

After around 20 months of everyday dimming I’m positive in recommending these Megaman GU10 6 Watt LED PAR16 Dimming 2800 k Light Bulb [Energy class A+] LR1206dDGv2-WFL
