LED bulb Philips GU10 1.2 W 215 lm Warm white 36° CRI 80

Philips GU10 LED bulb 1.2 W provides focused warm-white illumination with a compact GU10 fitting and a 36° beam angle. Delivering 215 lm of light while consuming minimal power, this bulb is intended as an energy-efficient replacement for traditional 35 W incandescent spot bulbs. It features a rated lifetime of up to 50,000 hours and a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 80 for natural-looking colors in residential and light-commercial settings.

Advantages

The bulb combines very low power consumption with a comparatively high luminous output, offering efficient spot lighting with warm white color temperature. With a narrow beam angle it provides controlled accent lighting suitable for task or display illumination. A long rated lifetime reduces maintenance and replacement frequency.

Suitable for

• Home spot lighting and accent lighting in living rooms and kitchens
• Corridors, hallways and stairwells where directed warm light is required
• Hospitality settings such as hotel rooms or small display areas
• Downlights, recessed fixtures and directional lamps with GU10 sockets

When it may not be suitable

This bulb is designed for focused spot illumination rather than broad-area ambient lighting; its 36° beam spreads light in a narrow cone and may not evenly illuminate large rooms. Its CRI of 80 provides acceptable color rendering for many applications but may be insufficient where high-fidelity color reproduction is required, such as detailed color-critical tasks.

Key specifications

• Fitting/cap type: GU10
• Power consumption: 1.2 W
• Luminous flux: 215 lm
• Beam angle: 36° (reflector spot)
• Color: Warm white
• Color Rendering Index (CRI): 80
• Rated lifetime: 50,000 hours
• Operating frequency: 50–60 Hz

How to use

Install the bulb into a compatible GU10 socket by aligning the pins and twisting until secure. Use the bulb in enclosed or open directional fixtures designed for GU10 reflectors and ensure the fixture supports LED lamps. Switch off mains power before replacing bulbs and allow the old bulb to cool. This lamp is suitable for use on standard 50–60 Hz mains circuits.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your fixture uses a GU10 fitting and accepts reflector-type LED bulbs.
• Confirm that a focused 36° beam angle and 215 lm output meet your lighting needs.
• Consider whether CRI 80 provides adequate color rendering for the intended task.
• Ensure compatibility with any dimmer switches if dimming functionality is required (check fixture/dimmer compatibility separately).

Usage recommendations

For accent or task lighting, position the bulb to aim directly at the target area to maximize the benefit of the 36° beam. Replace multiple bulbs in a fixture simultaneously to maintain uniform light quality and plan replacements according to the long rated lifetime to minimize maintenance.
