Hi all,

May I know if anyone come across with low power GU10 bulbs? My light fitting comes with 3 slots for GU10, but I want to use it only as a night light.

The lowest so far I can find is 2W/230lm from Ikea, but it's still too bright with 3 lamps on. Tried search online lazada/shopee/taobao but all seems to be higher than 230lm.

Thanks

Get those from PHILIPS GU10 that is dimmable and replace your switch with a dimmer switch.

GU10 bulbs is a spotlight bulb. So even lowest LM, it still quite bright cause it is a spot light concentrate.

Get a dimmer type and dim down the light.
