LEDHIVE Premium GU10 LED 6.5W Warm White 80W replacement Brightest LED Chip on the market - 3 Year Warranty with A.G Technology [Energy Class A++]

Update 2: 2-year review. 3 of the 9 I bought have now failed, notwithstanding the 3-year guarantee.What is worse; the lamps illustrated and described now are NOT the ones I purchased. Those were 6.0w COBs with a single large LED, these are the older multi-led kind and 6.5w. They may be better or worse, I don't know, but either way the reviews you read are not for the lamps you are buying. Bait and switch!Update: 1-year review. All 6 bulbs I installed in my kitchen a year ago are still working. I can say with confidence that this is a top-quality lamp so I have increased the review from 4 to 5 stars.These 6w bulbs are very much brighter than the 5w ones they replace. I have a whole new kitchen! I'm glad I chose the 'warm white'; it is not as yellow as an old incandescent bulb and anything whiter would be very jarring to walk into from another room.I wondered if the COB construction would lead to more glare. It does a bit, compared to the 45% 3-LED spots I had before, but it's not at all bothersome even on our low ceiling. The compound lens they put on the front seems to do the job - and also makes them look very smart.The units are heavier than the ones they replace; whether that really makes them higher-quality has yet to be seen. Fingers crossed.They are flush-fitted into the ceiling; the last lot physically fell apart under the heat stress. These have an aluminium shroud but the root of the bulb is still plastic. I think that's true of all LED GU10s, but it creates potential for differential expansion between the two materials. None failed immediately on installation, which has always been an issue with cheaper designs. They were very easy to fit.So far, I am very pleased and would recommend. I will update this review when the first one fails: no update = no failures so far. The 4 stars represent uncertainty about longevity, not any actual dissatisfaction.

We have almost 100 GU 10's in ceiling down lighters in our house and have now replaced all the halogen ones with LED versions. Without a doubt theses are the best non-dimmable LED GU10s we have used. Light output is excellent, exceeding the 50W halogens. 4 of these lamps are above an island in our kitchen and the wide beam angle of the lamps flood the worktop with an amazing amount of light. We are so impressed that we are upgrading the remaining LED lamps in the kitchen with these Hive lamps.

Good bulbs but I mistakenly thought they could be controlled by my hive system.... doesn't really let you know this 😩

Very misleading name and it also pairs with other Hive items in the amazon suggestions however it has nothing at all to do with Hive!!!! It will “NOT” work with your hive system....... mislead both by Amazon and the advert... excellent bulb however just a pity about the deception!!!!

these are the best lights I have found to match the light you get from a halogen bulb but they are slightly brighter than a 50 watt bulb so you get more light and save energy win win in my books. their customer service is great. they also do this bulb in cool white which gives off a brighter light still at same wattage but with a more blue-ish light think it will be down to preference what bulb you use. I would suggest the cool white for kitchens and the warm light for everywhere else.

I haven't done extensive testing to verify all the claims made, but the apparent build quality and light output is very good. Beam angle is quite wide for a GU10 with a TIR based optic, while the beam profile very smooth. Light quality (CCT and CRI) is also good for an LED bulb. I Have tested a lot of GU10 LED light bulbs on many different factors and this is one of the best all-round bulbs I have tested and for a good price too.

Won’t pair with my hive

was expecting them to be brighter and with a narrower beam... other than that i'm impressed.
