- the eyeball might be too bright/sharp for eye when we look slightly upwards in the house?
It's not bright enough for working area, esp living room. But when you put two eyeball above the sofa, then it will be too bright like you're sitting under spotlight because of the limited angle of 36 deg.
- will it be hot?
It's not hot as the watt is small. The max watt of GU.10 that I could find in the market is about 7-8 w, 560lm.
- it won't be bright enough (my contractor insist on this)
My bloody ID lady also insisted and forced me to take it. Told her i want bright enough (at least 1000lm) in the toilet , she just ignored and installed one GU10 at the toilet. I gave up arguing with her and fed up.
- it might look nice at the start, but for long term everyday living, it is not ideal
Indeed it's not ideal for daily use , esp at working area like kitchen, study room. But it's fine for ambient like living room or bedroom. Make sure you have other conventional light source (not spot light) that bright enough where you need to carry out some daily task or work, like preparing meal, cleaning, or even sewing a button etc.
For GU10, the normal watt in the market is about 4-5w - 400lm; max can be found is 7-8 w, 560lm, all 36 or 38 deg (cant remember exactly the number). Hardly find one with 120 deg.
Temp color, for ambient go for 4000k (slight yellow), for working go for 6500k (white), dont take 2700-3000k, with small watt and weak lm, the yellow is very dimmed.
Warm light (3000k) is ok for living area and bed room if you want that cozy and warm ambience It's not bright enough for working area, esp living room. But when you put two eyeball above the sofa, then it will be too bright like you're sitting under spotlight because of the limited angle of 36 deg.

But 4000k above is a must for toilet and kitchen. Not a fan of 6500k (white), feels a bit outdated and ugly aesthetic wise but its the most practical if you want the best brightness for working light
