    Can anyone recommend a brand and online store to buy GU10 leds.

    Got a set in my local trade store before Christmas and they are starting to flash and fail already. 9 leds cost 30e which is cheap.

    DDon't want to buy the same brand again

    Any recommendations? Thanks

    Osram. I bought some of their dimmable GU10's back in around 2014 and not one of them has failed since. Philips DimTone too (but they were SES/candle), no failures out of 6 bought around the same time as the Osram. Where I got them, I don't recall... but it may have been an electrical wholesaler.

    I bought a load of GU10's from Amazon UK in 2021 & 2022, made by FTL. All still working. They have a ceramic housing, not plastic.

    All lights in the house are now LED and 3000 kelvin. I bought GU10 cables locally and changed all 12v spots & downlighters to 230v - a lockdown project LOL.

    Avoid mixing the 3000k with the 'whiter' 5000k, it looks yeuch!

    Something seriously wrong if LEDs only lasting a month or two, must be a faulty batch. Robus, philips or osram would be a good brands.

    I've never had any problem with the IKEA ones.
