Frequently Asked Questions

• • Is "Cool White" the same as "Daylight"? No, Cool White (4000K) is a neutral white that is less blue than Daylight (6000K), making it more comfortable for general home use while remaining brighter than Warm White.
• • Will this fit into my existing halogen downlight holes? Yes, this GU10 is a direct retrofit for standard 50mm diameter halogen spotlights.
• • Does it require a transformer? No, the Super Power GU10 connects directly to 220V mains power, so you can remove old halogen transformers if you are converting your system.
• • Can I use this in my bathroom? Yes, provided the light fitting itself is rated for bathroom use (e.g., IP44 or higher) to protect the bulb from steam and moisture.
