September 4, 2013. The GU10 and the MR16 are the main two spotlights used in the home today. The main difference is that the GU10 bulb will run at 240 volts (which is the same voltage as supplied by the mains power supply), while MR16 bulbs run on just 12 volts.
Can you use a 75 watt equivalent LED bulb?
With an efficiency up to 80% higher than similar output incandescents, it is certainly safe to say that LED light bulbs, like these 75-watt equivalent, use less energy than similar incandescent bulbs. You can be sure this is the case thanks to the “75 Watt Equal” in the bulb’s name.
What does 75 watt replacement mean?
It simply means that the bulb, whether CFL or LED, is able to produce as much light as a 60-Watt incandescent. If your fixture is rated to accept 60 Watts, you can safely use 75W, 100W, or even 125W equal bulbs (which all draw less than 50 Watts of power) instead.

G: Globe, incandescent. GU: (GU/10), general use halogen indoor flood (third photo below from left, leftmost bulb of the pair, 12-Volts)
Do you need a transformer for GU10 LED lights?
All LED bulbs require a ‘driver’ (a special type of transformer) to work properly. Mains voltage LED light bulbs (such as GU10 and B22 bulbs) have the driver built in to the bulb. If you are replacing existing incandescent 12V bulbs you will need to replace the transformer with a special LED driver.
Is GU10 halogen or LED?
GU10 LEDs and GU10 halogen bulbs are both designed for use in spotlights and downlights. The primary difference is that one features an old, now prohibited halogen bulb, while the other uses advanced LED lighting technology. This means GU10 LEDs use around five times less energy than their halogen counterparts.
