So far I had in all GU10 ceiling lamps energy-saving lamps (11W) used, ie those who need about 2 minutes to get to the full light output, because my standard 50W halogen spotlights have consumed too much power and are blown continuously. Unfortunately, the energy-saving lamps are in terms of brightness never replace the halogen lamps and the LED versions were always too expensive and "cold" to. The 7W LED spots, however, convinced me immediately: The light output is immediately after switching to 100%, the color is the usual halogen lamps very close and the brightness is compared to the energy-saving lamps twice as high, I think they are even brighter than the 50W halogen spotlights. For's living room but I can not recommend it because you reluctantly sits with sunglasses in front of the TV, because they are really bright! But ideal for kitchen and hallway, finally I can re-read small print without having to wait for daylight, or to get me a flashlight. The spots cast harsh shadows, but that have spots due to the radiation angle so per se, with the 60 ° is already much higher in these here than the usual 38 °. So you can well but are aimed at important points, so images or on the counter, where you snips his vegetables. Conclusion: Anyone looking for bright, power-saving light, it may set up any doubts. In addition, these spots are in a ceramic housing, which very high quality feel of, especially when compared to the cheap plastic radiators.
