Effective Ambient Lighting with LED GU10

LED GU10, one of the most recent developments in LED technology, can be used in a variety of applications. From general utility lighting, such as led garden lights to more specific and demanding purposes, such as commercial lighting, GU10 bulbs are versatile, durable, and long-lasting.

Whereas before lights had a less specific function which was to basically provide general illumination regardless of light intensity or power consumption, now lighting needs have become as complex as our modern society. The process of lighting itself has branched out into several specific categorical functions, addressing different needs and fashioned in various designs because of the advantages of solar power.

Ambient lighting, for example, is one of the most difficult illumination needs to solve while using solar powered lights. It requires precision and accuracy in terms of the amount of light needed to achieve a certain effect, a certain atmosphere and a certain spread. Factors such as the appropriate number of lamps, light color options and the saturation and concentration of light in specific areas are to be considered. But first things first, one must decided which type of light to use that could meet, first and foremost, the basic demands of providing adequate lighting to make the areas function in the way in which it will be most used.

The GU10 MR16 bulb is designed specifically for ambient lighting purposes. LED GU10 lights need only 2.5 watts to operate and have a 30k warm white glow. These can last up 70,000 hours and emit very little heat, which is great for small areas that may heat up quickly or are more or less enclosed. These lights are best for ceiling and accent lights, as well as for track lighting and recessed cans. There are also bulbs that give out a 35 lumen glow, which are very suitable for decorative and accent lighting.

Whichever type of GU10 LED bulb used, there is always a guarantee of energy efficiency and a lengthier lifespan over traditional or even compact fluorescent lamps. The varying lumen counts available also make for even more precise solutions to ambient lighting needs.
