Glass housing, built to lastThe VASO series is built around a
glass housing, a detail that separates it from the sea of look-alike plastic MR16 lamps. Glass gives the lamp a clean, jewel-like appearance in open track heads and exposed display fixtures where the bulb is part of the design, and it keeps its finish over years of service instead of yellowing. With a 15,000-hour average life and a 2-year limited warranty, this
GU10 LED bulb is meant for ceilings you do not want to climb back up to every season.
Light quality and beam controlOutput is 600 initial lumens with a centre beam candlepower of 750 and a
45° wide flood distribution — broad enough to wash a wall or cover a kitchen island, tight enough to keep the accent effect halogen users expect. The
5-CCT selectable feature means five colour temperatures are available from a single lamp, selected before installation, so a warm lounge and a task-bright work counter can be served by the same part number. CRI 80 keeps skin tones, wood grain and merchandise looking natural, and full dimming lets you tune the level scene by scene.

Installation and compatibilityInstallation is the familiar GU10 twist-and-lock: push the two pins into the socket, rotate a quarter turn, done — no driver, no transformer, since the lamp runs directly on 120V line voltage. That makes it the straight swap for halogen MR16 GU10 lamps in
recessed pot lights, track heads, monopoints, gimbal trims, cabinet and display lighting. For dimming, pair it with a dimmer rated for LED loads and respect the dimmer's minimum and maximum load; if you are replacing a leading-edge halogen dimmer, an LED-compatible model will give you the smoothest low end. Note the base difference before ordering: this lamp is
GU10 at 120V, while low-voltage 12V systems need the GU5.3 version, the
VASO MR16 X25 6.5W GU5.3, which is also rated for enclosed fixtures.
Applications and documentationThink retail shelving and product displays, restaurant tables and bar backs, hotel corridors, office reception walls, gallery art lighting, and at home: kitchen islands, fireplace walls, stairwells, bathrooms and covered entries thanks to the damp location rating. The wide operating range down to -25˚C also suits unheated garages, cottages and three-season rooms. If your project mixes accent sizes, the same VASO look continues with the
VASO MR11 3W GU4 for smaller apertures, and with the fixed-colour
VASO MR16 5W 4000K GU10. The full technical PDF, the VASO-MR16/7W/5CCT/WFL45/GU10/D spec sheet with the dimensional drawing and the complete ordering table, is in the Documentation tab.
