Best GU10 LED bulbs?

[DHE]

Hey everyone, just wondering what everyone thinks the best LED GU10 bulb is. Factors include: lux, spread, cost, lifespan, colour and size. Also which make of bulb is most equivalent to the 50watt halogen bulb including all the above factors.

5watt kosnic is about equiv. to 35watt halogen. think you need to look at 7watt to get close to 50w halogen performance.

Always thought the kosnic bulbs had a bit of a blue tinge, unless they have updated them. What colours do they do in the 5watt?

Open ended question: what do you want lumens, spread, cost, lifespan, colour or size; each one has different characteristics for each of the factors.

You could buy a 500 lumen lamp with 30degree beam for £30 lasting five years in cool white longer than standard incandescent.

or you could buy a 300 lumen lamp with 120degree angle for £5 lasting one year in warm white the same size as standard incandescent.

However which one is suitable for your requirements?

Yea i agree. Cluster LED's are terrible. Though i have put the exact same bulbs in 2 pubs and got a terrible batch in one pub, having to change around half of them and the other pub had 20 more bulbs and only had to change one in 2 and a half years!

Im after a bulb thats got a good spread, whilst being quite bright at the same time (equiv. to 35w-50w). Obviously cost is an issue as well.

The good thing about the tool station lamps is that they are exactly the same size as a GU10
