If you have any mains powered halogen lighting in your office or house, then there's a very good chance that the bulbs are GU10 halogen bulbs. These bulbs are usually mains voltage running at 50W, that give off a very bright light, fantastic for workplaces, kitchens and bathrooms, but unfortunately also consume plenty of electricty in the process!

With each bulb using up approximately the same power as a single regular light, the desire to replace the bulbs with low power equivalents is very popular - especially when you consider that many main halogen installations can have 10 or more light fittings in a single room!

Recent advances in the LED lighting area means that there are now many different GU10 equivalent bulbs available which use LEDs for the light, and use far less power than the halogen originals.

This site will hopefully walk you through the different bulbs available on the market to see what is good for your own situation, and what matches your pocket! Feel free to drop by the forum area to tell us your own experiences with low power GU10 bulbs.
