Searching for GU10 lights with 90+ CRI and wide beam angle (50+ degrees)

Seeking Advice

As the title says, I’m looking for GU10 bulbs with a CRI of 90 or higher and a beam angle of at least 50 degrees for home use. Philips has some options, but they all seem to come with 25 or 36-degree beam angles, which don’t quite work for my needs. I’m looking for reputable brands since I don’t trust the specs on eBay or AliExpress products. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Soraa offers a 60-degree option, and they’re known for their high-quality architectural-grade lamps.

Thanks! I’ll check them out. I need 230V options though, as I’m in Europe.

I saw this thread and got excited. I need two GU10 LEDs to replace CFLs in a horizontal pair inside a Hamilton Beach fan. There isn’t much space between the globe cover and the mount, and I need something that emits light sideways so it goes down into the room.

If CRI isn’t a priority, OSRAM has several models with beam angles of 100° or more. That might work for you.

I’m not sure what the term is, but I need almost 360-degree output since the lights are mounted parallel to the ground. Even with 100°, I feel like it would mostly light the upper walls. I need it to go down too. Also, the fixture has a max wattage of 12, which matches the CFLs currently in there.

You could try this one:

It looks promising based on the specs, but you might need something with more lumens for better light output.

@Eden
Yeah, that’s exactly what I need, but with more lumens. I’ll keep an eye out for similar options with higher brightness.

What type of lamp are you using? You mentioned the base and beam angle, but what about the size/type? Are you looking for PAR, MR, or BR?

It’s probably going to be PAR16 or something similar. The diameter needs to fit within 52-53mm.
