What is the difference between dimmable and non-dimmable bulbs?
Dimmable bulbs can have their brightness adjusted using a compatible dimmer switch. Non-dimmable bulbs are designed to operate at full brightness only and cannot be used with dimmer switches; attempting to do so can cause damage or malfunction.
How long will this bulb last?

What is the color temperature of this bulb?
This bulb has a color temperature of 3,000K, which is described as Warm White. This provides a cozy and inviting light, similar to traditional incandescent bulbs.
Can I use this bulb outdoors?
The product description does not specify outdoor use. It is generally recommended to use LED bulbs rated for outdoor use in outdoor fixtures to ensure durability and safety.
How does the energy saving compare to halogen bulbs?
This LED bulb offers an 85% energy saving compared to traditional halogen bulbs of equivalent light output.
What are the dimensions of the bulb?
The lamp dimensions are 50mm in diameter and 54mm in height.
Troubleshooting
Bulb does not turn on
Check that the power switch is on and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Ensure the bulb is fully seated in the GU10 socket. Verify the fixture is compatible with LED bulbs. If using a dimmer, confirm it is a compatible LED dimmer or switch to a standard on/off switch, as this bulb is non-dimmable.
Bulb flickers
This is often caused by incompatibility with a dimmer switch. Ensure the bulb is used with a standard on/off switch. Check that the bulb is securely fitted into the socket. Faulty wiring in the fixture can also cause flickering; consult an electrician if problems persist.
Reduced brightness or intermittent operation
Ensure the bulb is correctly seated. Check for any loose connections in the fixture. Power cycling the fixture (turning off power at the breaker for a minute, then turning back on) may resolve temporary issues. If the problem persists, the bulb may be faulty or the fixture may have an issue.
