Does Phillips, or anyone, make a MR16 GU10 LED that is narrow beam of 10 degrees or less? It's for a track mounted ceiling reading lamp in a dark room

Yes, I have one on my kitchen ceiling where my old track lighting used to be, however I will warn you the cans on this light are quite small. You can't really tell that from the picture. They do swivel pretty well though so I am able to direct the light where I want it and it gives off a lot of light once it's up. Hope this helps!

not enough, you need full spectrum light @ 10,000 lumens for 20 to 30 minutes. also the item as shown is sold at Phillips web site for 99.00 I don't know if this is some kind of computer error.

I agree - possible, but looks strange. Just get a halOgen lamp if you want it to point up.

No. The posts on the bottom, that plug into the light's electric socket, are different for the GU 10 vs the MR 16. In every other way I can tell, they're the same, but the pins.

I tried one in my lamp and it worked but was really too dim for my tastes (it was a 40 watt bulb and threw the light of a 25). I picked up a four pack of ordinary 40 watt non-efficient bulbs and they shed plenty of light for my tastes in brightness.

This is MR16/GU10 size/socket. U should search for screw on type light bulb for your fixture.

I certainly can't "discern the light cast by the individual LEDs". The bulbs do have a fairly wide (60°) beam angle and their coverage seems uniform and consistent with the halogen bulbs they replaced, perhaps warmer (3200°K), not as harsh.

I looked at the .pdf manual. It says "Incandescent" at the top of the page, so it will not work well with LEDs. As someone said, that's why the low price.

I am not sure if they are available there, and, of course, this is a matter of taste, but I much prefer a warm bulb of a color temperature of around 2700K or 3000K like the Sunlite 05770-SU FML27/30K/CD1 27-watt FML 2-Pin and 4-Pin Quad Tube Compact Fluorescent Plug-in GX10Q-4 Base Lght Bulb, Warm White available on Amazon. It (and similar warm bulbs) give off a much nicer light. I did not even use the bulb that came with the lamp.

you can use this amazon GU10 LED from Light Blue. that's an amazing 50W halogen equivalent. see link Light Blue&trade; (4 PACK) LED 6-Watt Dimmable 50W Equivalent, GU10 MR16 High Power Cool White Light Bulbs, UL-Listed

I haven't tried that yet, but I don't see why not. Keep the led light low voltage but with plenty of lumen. I think the idea is for low heat. It will work. Make sure led bulb isn't oversized, the globe wont snap back on...the original bulb isn't very large.

I think it depends on the bulb. The gu10 base halogen bulbs I found give very similar light as a standard base halogen floodlight, but more focused.

Unless the knob was a heat resistant non heat conducting plastic, glued on with heat resistant glue, I would not do it. This light is so small already that you'd have a hard time affixing such a knob. I'd replace the halogen bulb with an LED bulb, which I did. There are one or two manufacturers that make them small enough with the right base (MR-16), most are too big. The color balance on LED bulbs is different than halogen. There may now be a better variety of small MR-16 base LED bulbs than when I bought this.

I converted mine to LED as soon as I got it, I still have an issue with the beam, I haven't been able to adjust the spot out of the D Cell like with the MiniMags either. Sorry I couldn't be of any help

I will caution you. Phillips has LED reflector bulbs that are both soft white and daylight. You should visit the Phillips web site for the specifications on any particular bulb. Or, you can order one and see what the outside of the package says. They are labeled. If it isn't right then return the bulb. The type in the illustration are all soft what (2700K) as far as I know. Also, I think Phillips is the only manufacturer than controls the color temperature of their LED bulbs. If you have soft white lighting in your home you can put one of the Phillips LED bulbs in a fixture and it will fit right in. I will caution you.

It's more of a spot light but I'm not sure I've ever found a flood light in a GU10 base. The closest I've ever come was to use frosted lens on a halogen bulb. LEDs in general won't provide a flood type light. The beam is too focused.
