Default Re: mr16 v gu10

mr 16 all the way!

mr16 advantages; light is whiter,lamp cheaper to buy lasts longer, more energy efficient,lamps available in different colours,wider range of downlights/fittings available

gu10 advantages;cheaper to buy than mr16, slightly faster installation time due less terminations

mr16 disadvantage; transformers can be expensive, installing transformers can take longer additional connectors required etc

gu10 disadvantage;lamps can be more expensive, dont last as long as mr16


Thats my opinion anyway!!!
