GU10 LED Bulb — Wide Flood Coverage, Warm White, Long Life
The 60° beam angle is the defining specification here. Where a standard 36° GU10 spot concentrates light onto a narrow area, this wide flood version spreads illumination across a broader ceiling plane — reducing dark patches between fittings in kitchens, hallways, and open-plan spaces. At 560lm from 5W, output is higher than a typical 5W GU10 spot (380–400lm), a result of the aluminium heat-sinking and ThermoTec thermal management built into the lamp body. The 1.5kV surge protection adds reliability in installations where power spikes are a concern. Colour temperature is fixed at 3000K — warm white, slightly cooler than 2700K, which suits kitchens, bathrooms, and workspaces where a clean neutral tone is preferred. Not dimmable: if a dimmer circuit is in place, use the dimmable GU10 variant instead.
This bulb works best in recessed downlights, surface-mounted spotlights, and track fittings where wide, even coverage is the priority. For a kitchen ceiling with six or more fittings, 60° bulbs eliminate the uneven wash that narrower spots produce. Before ordering, confirm the cap type on your existing fitting is GU10 (push-and-twist, not GU5.3 or MR16). Browse the full LED bulbs collection or read our indoor lighting guide.
Common questions
What is the difference between a 60° and a 36° GU10 bulb?
+
A 36° bulb produces a focused spot — good for directing light onto artwork, a worktop, or a display shelf. A 60° bulb produces a wider flood — better for general room illumination where even coverage across the ceiling plane matters more than directional control. In a kitchen or open-plan space with multiple downlights, 60° bulbs reduce dark patches between fittings.
This bulb is not dimmable — what happens if I fit it on a dimmer circuit?
+
Fitting a non-dimmable LED on a dimmer circuit causes flickering, buzzing, or premature failure. If your circuit has a dimmer switch, use the dimmable GU10 variant instead. A dimmer switch has a slider or rotary control rather than a standard rocker — check the switch plate if you are unsure.
Can I use this bulb in a bathroom or outdoor fitting?
+
This bulb has no IP rating listed, which means it is not rated for wet or damp environments. For bathroom zones 1 and 2, or for outdoor fittings exposed to moisture, you need a GU10 bulb with a minimum IP44 or IP65 rating. Check the IP rating of your fitting and match the bulb accordingly.
Is this a direct replacement for a 50W halogen GU10?
+
Yes — this 5W LED is the direct equivalent of a 50W halogen GU10 in terms of lumen output (560lm vs the typical 500–600lm of a 50W halogen). The cap type is identical (GU10 push-and-twist), so it fits the same fittings. The main difference is beam angle: if your halogen was a 35–38° spot, this 60° wide flood will spread light more broadly. That is usually an improvement for general lighting, but worth noting if you were using the halogen for accent or directional work.
How many of these bulbs do I need for a kitchen ceiling?
+
For a standard kitchen ceiling (around 12–16m²), four to six GU10 downlights with 60° wide flood bulbs typically provide even, comfortable general lighting at 3000K. Spacing fittings 1–1.2m apart and 0.5–0.6m from walls avoids dark corners. If your kitchen has a worktop or island that needs brighter task lighting, consider adding a dedicated fitting over that area rather than increasing the number of ceiling downlights.
