Led gu10 bulbs

[hduz5]

Hi guys,

Anybody used a 7 watt led bulb? Any comments on the light quality? I've tried a 6 watt Aurora bulb which was sold to me as a 50 watt equivalent. It isn't awful, but it is definitely not equivalent to 50 watts. Also, if anyone is involved in r+d
on led bulbs are you expecting to see brighter bulbs on the market in the next year?

Cheers

The ones I use are 21 SMD, but the chip is the 5050 not the older 3258 stuff

I am using the above LED lamp, the light output is really good, so much so I have also installed them at home, however, they just look pants when off!

I also love the JCC LED firerated fittings, having fitted many of these I actually like the push fit terminations, I am paying £32.50 plus VAT each for these and £10.50 plus VAT each for the lamp, what are you paying? (I am buying quite a lot so would be good to get a better deal)

£8+VAT (CEF)

i thought they were pretty bright when asking cef guy to test for me.. i havw a house comming up soon where they going to have nearly 60 downlights in.. plus a few hanging on on flex where the ceiling is going to be lifted right up... i was thinking these smds as i know they wont go for the jcc jobbies.. if all else fails it wil be 50w gu10.

Incompatible dimmer/lamps?

Not had much experience of fitting dimmable LED GU10's to be fair. Where did you get the lamps from?

Im installing a lot of JCC fireguard LED 7 downlights these days, and have 12 in my lounge, they dont have a removable lamp. I think they're awesome, might need 25% more lights in a big room for same effect as 50w halogens. LED lights are the future IMO and the technology is finally good. They cost me about £39 each tho so not cheap.

wow 39 x 12 = 240 pints. almost a month's supply.

My only problem with the jcc ones are they don't leave much room between the single and double layer of insulations for the connections, oh and you can't do test with it still connected as you can't get your probs in anywhere !
