GU10 is a common lamp head model commonly used for LED and halogen bulbs, especially in spotlights and tube lights. The characteristic of GU10 lamp head is that there are two cylindrical pins on its base, with a spacing of 10 millimeters, hence the name "GU10". Here are some detailed information about GU10:
###1 Specifications and characteristics
-* * Pin Type * *: The pins of the GU10 bulb are cylindrical, with a diameter of 5 millimeters and a spacing of 10 millimeters.
-* * Voltage * *: GU10 bulbs generally use AC power, with a voltage of usually 220-240V, suitable for home and commercial lighting.
-* * Bulb type * *: GU10 lamp head is widely used in halogen lamps and LED lamps. LED bulbs have gradually replaced traditional halogen lamps due to their energy-saving and long-lasting characteristics.
-* * Power * *: The power of LED GU10 bulbs is usually between 3W and 10W, while the power of traditional halogen GU10 bulbs is generally 35W or 50W.
###2 Application scenarios
-Home lighting: commonly used as tube or spotlights in areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, and corridors.
-* * Commercial lighting * *: Suitable for places that require key lighting such as shops, hotels, restaurants, etc.
-Display lighting: Used in museums, galleries, and other places where items need to be prominently displayed.
###3 advantage
-* * Energy saving * *: LED GU10 bulbs are more energy-efficient than traditional halogen bulbs, with low power but high brightness.
-Long lifespan: LED bulbs typically have a much longer lifespan than halogen bulbs, reducing the need for frequent replacement.
-* * Low Heat * *: LED bulbs have a lower operating temperature, reducing their thermal impact on the surrounding environment.
###4 Installation and replacement
-* * Easy Installation * *: The installation and replacement of GU10 bulbs are very simple, just align the pins with the lamp holder and insert them, then rotate and fix them.
-* * Compatibility * *: When replacing old halogen bulbs, they can be directly replaced with LED GU10 bulbs of the same size without the need to modify the lighting fixtures.
###5 Purchase suggestions
-* * Color Selection * *: Choose the appropriate color temperature according to the usage scenario, for example, warm white light (2700K-3000K) is suitable for creating a warm home atmosphere, while cold white light (4000K-6500K) is suitable for office and commercial environments.
-Color rendering index (CRI): Choosing a light bulb with a higher CRI (above 80) can better restore the true color of the object.
Through the above information, you can better understand and choose the suitable GU10 light bulb to meet the lighting needs of different scenes.
