was after some lights for my front up/down lights and spotted these, the guy at bunnings told me not all stores stock these so you will have to call to check! Great price!

Click's GU10 LED Globes are an excellent cost efficient and energy saving, lighting option. These 5 watt globes emit 330 lumens, with a 110° beam spread to light up your room. The frosted face and warm white glow creates a bright, yet soft lighting, giving a relaxed ambience that is perfect for lounge rooms, cinema rooms, rumpus rooms and leisure spaces.
LED globes replace GU10 Halogen lamps and consume up to 85% less power. With an average life of 20,000 hours, they are long lasting and save you money, because you will buy replacements less often. When turned on, LED's achieve full brightness in microseconds and radiate very little heat, so they do not cause damage to sensitive objects or fabrics.

      From my experience with the "free" Click! compact fluorescent bulbs the NSW govt were giving out a couple of years back, I'd be wary of the brand's quality… some hummed annoyingly from the moment they were installed.

    I run them in my boat, very impressed with the increase of light for the price and no interference with TV or radio.
    Only found them in warm.

  • Gomo on 25/08/2016 - 07:31

    As mentioned mine are outaide , no issues here

    Put 50 of these in our house a few years ago to replace all the halogens we have. These globes were a perfect replacement for them as they were the same brightness and colour output.

    They haven't interfered with our TV's & i haven't needed to replace any of them yet. As mentioned above, the only negative is one of the globes does have a slight hum to it when turned on. The globe in question is in our hallway and can only be heard when walking under it, so i won't bother replacing it.

    They get a big tick from me

    • masuta on 25/08/2016 - 08:46

      I'm really surprised when people say they were just as bright. In our house the halogen down lights had been changed to 35w from 50w and when I tried some of the click 5w LEDs they were no where near as bright as the halogen globes. I found light quality a little average as well. Having said that the price is a bargain and I'd consider then for my outside up/downs like the OP had used them for.

      • tight-ass on 25/08/2016 - 09:29

        Have you got standard ceiling height? We have so maybe that's the difference.

        Could also be to do with the actual spacing of the downlights too, or how many lights you have in each room - every house is different. We have a large open plan living area.

        Definitely no difference for us……when i mention to people ive swapped them all over to LED's they're surprised as you can't tell the difference.

      • Spam Service on 25/08/2016 - 09:36

        We replaced all our 50W downlights with 4W LEDs in the place we were renting a few years ago when LED downlights were rare. The 4W bulbs were noticably dimmer, but not enough for us to worry about.

        We have just replaced the 50W halogens in our bathroom with 5W bulbs from bunnings, and I can't tell the difference in brightness.

        There is absolutely no way in the world that a 5W LED lamp of ANY brand can be as bright as a good quality 50W MR16 halogen. However, what happens is that some people have the horrid GU10 240V mains powered halogens that Spec Home builders love, since they were a few $ cheaper per point than the proper 12V Halogens that require a transformer.

        The 240V GU10 lamps (like this deal) have light output less than half that of the equal wattage 12V halogen lamps.

        Traditionally the professional lighting industry used to rate the 12V 50W halogen as 1000 Lumens. The 35W IRC Osram and Philips were designed to be about the same, so gave a 30% power saving but maintained the same performance. But all that relates to proper "specification grade" products, and those aren't necessarily what consumers will purchase.

        Outside the professional lighting industry we have the Supermarkets, Retail Lighting stores and the Hardware chains. None of these have even the slightest interest in quality or performance, they ONLY purchase and promote based on their lowest cost for them to purchase.

        This meant that even the name brands like Philips & Osram were forced to supply ultra-low performing cheapo chinese lamps in order to stay on the shelves. In order to get even half decent life, most of the lamps are under-run which further reduces their output. These are horrendous things, and only a side-by-side comparison can demonstrate just how poorly they perform.

        So, the very bottom of the food chain 50W MR16 halogens fell down from 1000 Lumens to just 600lm or so. The GU10s (which were already complete shit to begin with) fell to under 300 Lumens. To put that into perspective, that's 6 lumens per watt, and a normal 100W incandescent bulb (1300 lumens) is more than double the efficacy.

        Recently, MEPS came in and banned the 50W halogens, so all you can get now is 35W - the output range varies considerably.

        So, now days the typical supermarket grade 35W GU10 will give between 180 and 320 lumens, and the 35W MR16s give between 330 lm and 600 lumens. I suppose that we could assume that anyone here on Ozbargain would be buying the absolute cheapest lamps that they can get, so we could assume the lower end of the range for a typical Ozbargainer's house lighting.

        So, when a shonky LED manufacturer is designing their marketing and equivalency claims, they always compare to 50W GU10 lamps with about 300 Lumens, not the proper professional grade 50W Halogen (eg: Osram Titan) or 35W IRC that give around 1000 Lumens.

        A 5W Click GU10 LED is pretty much the lowest grade of LED you can buy (it doesn't get much cheaper or nastier, unless you buy off ebay). 5 Watts and 300 Lumens = 60 Lumens/Watt, which is about the normal claim for LEDs in MR16/GU10 form factor.

        LED Benchmarks measured the Click GU10s at 296 lumens (it's not a proper laboratory, but let's use that) and 5.7 Watts
        http://www.ledbenchmark.com/display.php?id=210&name=Click+5W…

        So, here we have 300 Lumens of LED that people say is the same light output as 50W Halogen? Well, I guess so, if what you had originally was actually 35W GU10s with the cheapest possible globes you could find (eg: Mirabella from Kmart).

        However that is on day 1, and doesn't account for the fact that the LED output fades continuously over life, whilst the halogen doesn't (which is amusing considering that shonky LED suppliers claim the complete opposite). Once you fact this in and woprk out the minimum light levels (based on L70 which means 30% drop off), the 5W LED is outputting around 210 Lumens, which is about what most people would expect a 20W MR16 to provide (20W MR16 ranges 180 to 340 lumens).

        In professional lighting, it's generally considered that you need a high-end 12W LED to replace a 50W MR16 halogen.

        That doesn't mean that these Click 5W (which are actually 6W) aren't worth the money. But there is no way that they are "equivalent" to 50W Halogens. If you don't believe it, borrow a light meter (even a free phone app would do) and compare for yourself.

          You wouldn't think would be so technical……but it has me going to.check the Phillips LED globes and downlighta I changed out a while ago.

        • Spending2Much on 25/08/2016 - 12:50

          Changed out to the following
          All Phillips brand bought from DSE clearance sale

          12.5w, e27 1055 lumen cool.daylight. 6500k (equiv 75w)

          9w e27 806 lumen cool daylight, 6500k (60w equiv)

          Downlights are MR16, GU 5.3 60D 12v, 5.5w, 400 lumen 3000k, warm white.

          These are straight off the.boxes I still have all.old.globes.in.

          I remember I.couldn't find cool daylight on the down lights.

        • llama on 25/08/2016 - 12:51

          @albanyson:

          Beware that light meter can lie as well. It's actually measuring intensity (candelas), not light output flux (lumens).

          A narrow beam lamp is heaps brighter (candelas per square metre) than a wide beam lamp, even with the same amount of light (lumens). Think of an adjustable torch like a Maglight, and that concept is easy to understand.

          Lighting levels that are falling on SURFACES of rooms is measured in Lux, which is Lumens per Square Metre. So you have to take measurements across the ENTIRE surface (say 200mm apart) and then average them - and you get the average illumination falling onto that surface.

          And also consider that a room is a 3 dimensional space. We don't walk around looking at the floor… we look at the upper 2/3 of the room, and mainly at the vertical rather than horizontal surfaces.

          So what actually matters is the special illumination - not what happens on a horizontal surface directly underneath an individual downlight (which is almost irrelevant in the real world).

    I got a bad batch bought the 8 pack 1.5-2 years ago and 5 of the globes started flickering in the last 3-4months…

    • Gomo on 25/08/2016 - 10:27

      2 Years on surely okay now

    • Diva on 25/08/2016 - 14:29

      I reckon you picked up a "normal" batch.

    • ihuangyu on 25/08/2016 - 15:10

      Mine get the same issue. I thought LED suppose to last longer.

  • ozmu on 25/08/2016 - 09:50

    I'll have a look at these for the foyer sensor lights. I don't want them too bright, just soft glow.

  • coxymla on 25/08/2016 - 09:50

    What the heck is it with those outside up/down lights that every new house [has] to have.
    I hav e the same problem. The only 6 GU10 bulbs in the house. Mine are even weird sealed CFL GU10s.
    Thanks OP, will look for them at my local.

    • Gomo on 25/08/2016 - 10:27

      The sylye is in ! That's Why haha

        The style of those "Up-Down lights was "in" back in about 1995

        That's why all the Project Home builders are now using them in 2016.

        Modern architects would never consider using such a thing LOL.

  • asa79 on 25/08/2016 - 13:57

    I have them in up/down lights outside and no issues.
    I put them in my motion floodlight and they worked for a few days then stopped working.

  • Popo on 25/08/2016 - 17:09

    None in the Illawarra.
    Orange, Grafton, Dubbo were a few that I heard the lady mumble over the phone.

    • Steptoe on 28/08/2016 - 14:49

      Are you only talking GU10's

      There are boxes of the MR16 6W 4 packs at Wollongong Bunnings.

      • Popo on 30/08/2016 - 11:24

        Thanks Steptoe. I had only asked about the GU10s.

    None in Cannington, but they do have at least one of the 4x pack of MR16 for $5.
