Philips CorePro GU10 5-50W LED - £8.79

I don't think 5w would be overkill. I have 8 spots in the Kitchen with a mix of 3w 4w and a couple of 5w. I put the 5w over the counter and cooker and it does make a difference. I will replace with 5w when the older LED blow.

I find my current halogens over bright as it is though when undimmed and not a fan of too much light in a house - shows all the DIY I've yet to do!

BTW whats the difference in the 2700k and 3000k?

Just get the dimmable ones and then put a dimmer on or you could put a mix of 50w and Led's

The 2700k is a softer colour rating which would be the equivalent to your everyday halogen bulb colour, the higher the “k" rating the whiter the bulb emits more akin to office lighting colour

Disaster! Got 10 of the Ikea ledare lamps and the are too long for the fittings I and my parents have (the ones with the circular piece of metal that holds the lamp up) and ordered a ten pacl of the master from amazon for my kitchen and when they arrived I found out they don't take GU10s!

sweetie, if its any use I have the gu10 7w version of the phillips master from eurosales for my kitchen. got 7 of them and I would say they were almost a like for like replacement for the 50w halogens which I had before so Im happy with them.
I have dimmmable 5w's in the sitting room to replace the 50w I had in there when I did the big switch and always wishing I had a little more light.
