Key features

• 5W replacing roughly 40W — the same brightness for a fraction of the running cost
• 4000K cool white — a consistent tone across every fitting in the room
• 38° beam angle — spreads light through the room rather than in one spot
• CRI 80 — colours stay true under it
• 15 000 hours rated life — years of use before it needs replacing
• Standard GU10 (twist-lock) base — fits existing fittings, no electrician needed

Ideal for

• Everyday lighting in lounges, bedrooms and passages
• Downlights and track fittings
• Fittings that are awkward to reach, where long life matters

Light quality

Cool white is a crisp, neutral tone. It keeps whites looking genuinely white, which is why it suits kitchens, bathrooms and work areas. This one puts out 375 lumens. That is enough for a bedside lamp, a passage, or one of several fittings sharing a room. The 38° beam is comparatively narrow, which concentrates light where you point it. A CRI of 80 describes how faithfully colours appear under the light — the higher the figure, the more natural fabrics, food and skin tones look.

Fitting and compatibility

GU10 is the twist-lock cap used in mains-voltage downlights — push the two pins up and turn until it locks. It runs on 230V, standard South African mains supply. It measures 55mm high.

Good to know

Runs on 230V. Check that your fitting takes the GU10 (twist-lock) cap before ordering.
