How long do LED GU10 last?

about 50,000 hours
The average life-expectancy for a GU10 LED Bulb is about 50,000 hours, whereas the average life-expectancy of a halogen GU10 is around 1,000 hours. Thus, working for 8 hours a day, a GU10 LED will continue to work for 17.12 years, but a halogen GU10 will need to be replaced three times every year.

Are GU10 LED bulbs being phased out?

While GU10 bulbs have previously been available as halogens and compact fluorescent lights (CFLs), the phase out of these bulbs across Europe now means that the GU10 LED bulb is the most common remaining option.

Do LED GU10 bulbs get hot?

GU10 LED bulbs do not get hot, and keep a relatively low temperature no matter how long they’ve been on for. While they may be hot to the touch, they are unlikely to burn, and will not pose a fire risk. Smart LED GU10s are next in the development of the GU10 bulb.

What is the safest light bulb?

Research shows that the most dangerous part of the light spectrum is blue light, and all lighting produces blue light. Incandescent bulbs are considered to be the safest bulbs in this respect because their light has more red light in it.

Are LED light bulbs bad?

What is an UV lamp?

A UV lamp is a lamp specifically designed to emit light at the ultraviolet wavelength, which is generally not able to be seen by humans without special equipment. A UV lamp may do so in a number of different ways. For example, it is possible it will also produce visible light, but it can also operate using a black light.
