Turning to GU10

There are many energy saving light bulbs on the market today, including spirals, reflectors, and candle bulbs. They are all designed to reduce energy consumption and last a long time. Another type of energy savers are GU10 low energy light bulbs. They are high-performance, efficient, and long lasting and compatible with GU10 fixtures. These bulbs are also versatile and can be used in many settings, both residential and commercial.

Some GU10 low energy light bulbs are powered by LED's (light emitting diodes). Each GU10 has clusters of high-intensity LEDs that create a bright and consistent light. Amazingly, this can be achieved on 1.5 watts of power, which is 90% better than older, more traditional bulbs. You can use fewer GU10s and get more light for your home or business. And the more GU10s you use to replace older bulbs, the more you will reduce your expenditures.

Just like other new bulbs, GU10 low energy light bulbs have a long life span. Where you might have to replace an old incandescent light every six months to a year, the GU10s can last for seven years or more. Studies have shown that they have a life of up to 60,000 hours. So not only is the design out-performing old bulbs, but it is lasting longer too. You are saving money on utilities bills and also on bulb maintenance. And since you are not using as many, there are less to dispose of, and this helps all of us reduce landfill waste.

Another great benefit is that GU10 low energy light bulbs are very sturdy. Instead of a fragile glass bulb and filament, this is a solid bulb that can withstand motion and jarring. It was created to be vibration and shock resistant, so you will not have to worry about them popping or breaking easily. As they produce almost no radiant heat, they will remain cool; this can help to eliminate some safety hazards like burns or fire.

All these features make these bulbs extremely versatile. You can use GU10 low energy light bulbs in many sources including residential and commercial lighting. They are used in security lights as well as in desk lamps and kitchen counter lights. Because they are shock resistant GU10s are a perfect choice for indicator lights and electronic components. And they can also be used outdoors for path and fence lights. Even businesses such as restaurants and night clubs are using GU10s for various lighting sources.

Energy efficient bulbs will soon replace almost all traditional light bulbs. GU10 bulbs, available in spirals, reflectors and the others styles, are so economical that consumers must use them as much as possible. They simply offer so much in savings and reduced consumption that it would be foolish to not use them. Whilst consumers are seeing personal savings, use of GU10s and other energy saving bulbs is also helping reduce the total energy consumption of the world. This will help protect our natural resources and hopefully preserve a better, cleaner earth for generations to come.
