LED bulb Philips GU10 2.1 W 375 lm Warm white 36° CRI 80 (EAN 8721103135636)

Philips GU10 LED bulb, 2.1 W, delivers 375 lm of warm white light with a 36° beam angle and CRI 80. Engineered as a low-energy replacement for approximately 50 W halogen GU10 reflectors, this lamp provides directional lighting suitable for spot, track and accent applications. The product is intended for use in fixtures that accept a GU10 cap and offers a long rated lifetime to reduce maintenance frequency.

Advantages

This GU10 LED bulb offers high luminous efficacy for its size, producing 375 lumens from 2.1 W of input power, which significantly lowers energy consumption compared with traditional halogen equivalents. The warm white color temperature and CRI 80 balance pleasant appearance with reasonable colour rendering for general indoor use. The 36° narrow beam gives focused, directional illumination suitable for highlighting objects or providing task lighting.

Suitable for

• Spot and downlight fixtures in residential spaces
• Track lighting for retail displays or galleries
• Accent lighting to highlight artwork, shelves or architectural details
• Commercial areas requiring directional, low-energy lighting

When it may not be suitable

This bulb’s 36° beam produces a focused cone of light and may not be appropriate where wide, diffuse ambient illumination is required. With a Color Rendering Index of 80, it provides adequate colour rendering for most general uses but may not meet the needs of colour-critical tasks such as precise colour matching or professional photography.

How to use

Please ensure the light fixture is switched off and cool before installing the bulb. Insert the GU10 base into the socket and secure by twisting until it locks in place. Use this lamp in compatible reflectors, track heads or recessed fittings that accept GU10 bulbs and are rated for LED use. Operate the bulb on a stable mains supply within the specified voltage and frequency range; avoid use with incompatible dimmers unless the product is specifically indicated as dimmable.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your fixture accepts a GU10 fitting and provides enough clearance for the reflector shape.
• Confirm that a 36° beam angle suits the desired lighting effect (focused vs. wide coverage).
• Check whether CRI 80 meets your colour-rendering needs for the intended application.
• Ensure compatibility with any dimmer switches if dimming functionality is required.

Usage recommendations

For accent or task lighting, position bulbs so the focused 36° beam illuminates the target without creating excessive glare. In multi-bulb installations, maintain consistent colour temperature and CRI across all lamps to ensure uniform appearance.
