How to Install and Remove GU10 Light Bulbs?

 Spotlights and Downlighters are awkward to change, because they are flush with the ceiling. However, because these lights are usually clustered together, it is essential that they be replaced with LED lights. If you have six or ten of them in one area and you are still using traditional light bulbs, you will be missing out on significant energy savings in your home.
The other really important consideration is that LED light bulbs last significantly longer than their traditional counterparts, so if you swop them out as soon as possible, you will not have to replace them frequently. In fact, if you purchase your LED replacement bulbs from LightRabbit you will only be looking at a replacement in the next 30 years.

How to Remove and Install New LED GU10 Bulbs First, be safe and make sure that the power to the light is switched off. To begin with, you will need to remove the old bulbs. There will either be a clip around them, or you need to press the light down and twist it, to remove the cover. Then the bulb should then be easy to slip out by turning it around, keeping one hand underneath so it doesn't fall out.
Once the light is hanging down, hold onto the grip rod with one hand, while supporting the bulb with the other. Then, push and twist the bulb in an anti-clockwise direction to release it from the socket.
Take the new LED bulb, and line the two bayonet mounts with the holes that are in the socket. Push them into the holes and twist the bulb in a clockwise direction. You should hear a clicking sound once the new objects have connected, and this will tell you the new bulb in securely in the socket. Once the bulb has been placed, push it back into the holder so that is fits into the recessed hole in the ceiling. Then, you can put the cover clip back on and continue with the rest of the lights that need replacing.

Or create drama and mood by installing easy to fit outdoor LED strip lights. There really is no limit to the creativity LED can add to your outdoor spaces.

Outdoor Floodlights for Safety and Security

One of the best ways to keep your property secure is to have floodlights outside. These are ideal for perimeter lighting, or even to bathe your outdoor entertainment area in light.

If you want to save even more on electricity, a floodlight with a PIR sensor is the most efficient investment you can make. These floodlights only switch on when they are activated by movement and are easy to install.

 LED floodlights are available in both round and square casings, with 60-degree wide beam angles, which ensure you get the best value for money.

Its 1,755-lumen output is available in cool white and will help you save up to 90% of your electricity costs. This light is a HID replacement, in terms of its light quality, but it functions with the efficiency of a LED. Its IP65 rating will ensure that the light stays free of garden soil and water penetration, which adds to its lifespan.

The floodlights can also be used as up lights, highlighting impressive trees and foliage in the garden. These floodlights are a perfect example of how you do not have to compromise on aesthetics when switching to newer, more energy efficient lighting sources.

What can be done with LED under cabinet lighting?

LED lighting has finally come to UK households. Once touted as a far future light source because of the science behind how they operate, LED lighting options have been revealed to be not only realistic, but practical and efficient. With energy efficiency at the top of many homeowners’ desired qualities in their homes, LEDs have come into their own as an essential home accessory.

Energy efficiency is a key characteristic of LEDs. These light sources operate by utilizing the movement of electrons stimulated by an energy source, to create photons. These photons are the smallest element of light and combine to produce illumination that uses far less energy than incandescent or fluorescent light bulbs.

LED light bulbs are around 400% more efficient than the historical choices for lighting. This is because the bulbs do not release unused energy in heat, resulting in less energy used and wasted, and a cooler surface. LED bulbs can also last for up to 50,000 hours of use or more, resulting in fewer repurchases after the initial investment.

Discerning homeowners who use UK LED lighting will find that they can take advantage of another of LED bulbs’ strong suits: in providing directional lighting. LED under cabinet lighting provides a brighter illumination in exactly the areas where you need it, with durable finishes and a variety of options.

LED under cabinet lighting can be selected by colour, which can create the atmosphere you want in your home. You can also choose your precision level of LED lighting, using either LEDs with high output for more precise illumination or smaller ropes of LED lights for smaller areas in cabinets.

How to Use LED in the Boudoir

When people hear about LEDs they typically consider the commercial use of them in stores, office buildings, and warehouses, but few people think about using LED lights in residential dwellings. Even if they do consider using LED bulbs in their homes, very few, if any, think about using them in their bedrooms where traditional overhead lighting or bedside lamps provide enough light for their needs.

Fortunately for you,  we’d like to share about how and why to use LED lighting in your boudoir.

Your Getaway

 

Bedrooms aren’t just for sleeping; they are great places to relax and get away from the hectic light outside its door, they are where intimacies are performed, and it is where many people choose to unwind before going to sleep. While traditional overhead fixtures and bulbs provide light, the light they provide is dingy, too widely disbursed, and hot to the touch. Who wants to become romantic in a room with icky yellow light? Who wants to choose their outfit for the day under a light that makes everything a little difficult to see? LED bulbs and fixtures allow you to choose the direction of your light and the beam angle which is perfect for creating the right atmosphere for bedtime reading or crossword solving.

If you want to provide a decorative touch to your bedroom space, you can look through our selection of LED strip lights which come in several colours and can be installed around windows, along trim, around mirror frames, and anywhere else you’d like to see a splash of colour or mood lighting.

Refreshed and Relaxed

With the brilliance and directional lighting provided by LEDs you can turn your bedroom into a warm, inviting room without turning it into a jaundiced sweat box with little to no true ambience. If you’d like to have a brighter room, you can choose a Cool White bulb which provides brilliant, crisp light to any room. LED lights have a lifespan of up to 50,000 hours of continuous use which means you may never have to change a bulb during the course of your time in your residence.

The bedroom should be an oasis and LED lighting can help you save money on your energy costs which will make you feel as refreshed and satisfied as any desert oasis.

Brightening the Heart of Your Home

The kitchen has long been the heart of many homes; we prepare meals there, some people eat there, we congregate and share news of the day there, and we enjoy the company of our loved ones in the space between the stove and the counter. For many of us, the kitchen is where life happens in our homes, and if the heart of your home is dim and dingy, you’re missing out on a bright, clear, crisp experience with LED kitchen lighting.

Spotlight on the GU10 LED Bulb

Meal preparation in a dim or dark kitchen isn’t just a hazard it’s a travesty! Who wants to dice onion on a counter where the only lighting comes from a yellow overhead light or a flickering fluorescent tube? If you have recessed lighting or are considering installing recessed lighting in your kitchen, your best bet for a safe and well lit kitchen is the GU10 LED spotlight bulb. This bulb provides a bright, crisp white or warm white light at a 90º angle. That means you can see and enjoy your kitchen with lighting that fills every shadowy space and shows off any modern kitchen to perfection. The GU10 LED spotlight bulb is also cool to the touch so you never have to worry about fires in your ceiling.

Lighting the Nooks and Crannies

There are nooks and crannies in every kitchen but none as frustrating to light as that area under your counter where the overhead lights cannot reach. Well, with LED strip lights or under cabinet lighting fixtures you can fill your kitchen with cool white or warm white light from ceiling to bottom shelf.



LED strip lights are easy to install; they can be fastened into place with the self-adhesive backing on each strip, and each kit comes with simple instructions for placement.





If you prefer larger lights with replaceable bulbs you should consider installing under cabinet light bars like the Lightwell Lightbar. Its low profile allows for installation under the lip of cabinets, inside display cases or in classic dining room hutches.

Overhead spotlights and under cabinet LED strip lights are compatible with dimmer switches which means you control the intensity of the light; bright for when you’re cooking or warm and cozy for evening chats around the bar.

LED lighting, while a little more expensive than incandescent, halogen or fluorescent lighting, is a much better option. Traditional bulbs consume far more energy than LED bulbs but the energy consumed only gives off 20% light and 80% heat - which is why all traditional bulbs are dim and hot to the touch. LED bulbs use less energy and give off 90% of that energy as light and less than 20-10% as heat - which is why LEDs are brighter and cool to the touch.

Because LEDs consume less energy, they can save you 90% on your yearly energy costs, and that’s money you can use to create large, wonderful meals for your friends and family in your well lit, energy efficient kitchen.

Living Well with LEDs

Your home is where you truly LIVE, and the living room of your house is where life happens; kids playing, family movie night, marathons of your favourite shows and long conversations topped off with a glass of wine.

If your home is your oasis, your living room is the fresh spring of delicious water that feeds your soul. What happens when your living room lighting casts a dingy yellow glow, or when the bulbs you’ve installed flicker or burn out?

Traditional filament, halogen and fluorescent bulbs are part of a dying breed of home lighting. Incandescent bulbs and halogen bulbs burn hot, give off yellow, headache-inducing light, and burn out in a few months (if not days). While fluorescent lights offer brighter light, they tend to take longer to “warm up”, flicker and still burn out regularly. Consider investing in the eco-friendly, money-saving, long-lasting LED bulb.

Recessed Lighting

 

Whether you currently have or plan to install recessed lighting in your living room, the Lightwell GU10 bulb is the best bulb for your spotlight fixtures. The GU10 LED bulb offers downward lighting with up to 90º of angle coverage. Not only that, this bulb is “warm” in colour which means it’s perfect for lighting your home living spaces.

Reading Lamps

 

Your living room reading lamps could use the golf ball type LED bulb which fits most lamps. This bulb offers bright, crisp light so you can read for hours without the headaches and burning eyes you get from the poor quality light and flickering of halogen and incandescent bulbs.

Pendant Lighting

 

For pendant lights with shades the classic shape B22 and E27 are recommended. These LED bulbs provide light in a wide scope which allows you play a board game or deep clean your rugs without worry of missing a speck of dirt or a precious moment. These bulbs come in warm and cool colours but “warm” is best for living rooms.

Sconce Lighting

 

If you have sconce or chandelier lighting fixtures in your living room, the E14 candle LED bulbs offer a good looking, brighter alternative to the traditional incandescent or halogen bulbs that often flicker and burn out, leaving the unsightly singed area at the bottom of the bulb. Just because it’s made to look like a flame doesn’t mean it should appear burnt and yellow.

You’re in Control

 

LED bulbs and fixtures often come with dimmable capabilities—that means you can control the intensity and brightness of your living room lighting. Brighter for family fun, very dim for movie watching, and warm and cozy for nights alone with your special someone; with LEDs YOU choose how you use your lighting.

Living well with LEDs is simple when you know the bulb you need and where to get it. Exportimes has a wide range of LEDs for every socket in your home. Visit the website for product information or to learn more about the technology behind the LED.
