    GU10 Lamps

    I had a look at some fire rated GU10 downlighters today for a friend, as they said that the bulbs were blowing frequently. I think this is just an aspect of GU10's that we have to live with. However I was astonished when I pulled the unit out of the ceiling how hot it all must have gotten. The...

    Swap SON lamps for HQI's???

    A client has just called to say that he wants to swap his 70W (ES) SONi lamps for something that gives a white light. Does anyone know whether you can fit certain HQI or MBFU lamps straight to the SON fitting or will he have to replace the control gear/ fitting? Thanks

    Excessive heat off Syvania LED GU 10 lamps

    As the title says really. My hairdresser has a number of these, retro fitted into downlights and they are failing often. From what I could tell today they were exceptionally hot, as was the surrounding metal casing. My best guess is to bin the fire rated enclosures to reduce the heat?? ( they...
