GU10 is a fitting type, not a brand, and it's the near-universal standard across residential spotlights. This guide covers what to actually buy: 2–10W LED replaces 25–50W halogen at the same brightness, narrow beams for artwork, medium for kitchens, wide for general ambience, and why the same wattage reads brighter with a narrower beam.
Most track spotlights take a standard GU10 bulb, so the brightness and colour you get depends almost entirely on what you fit, not the fixture itself. This guide covers colour temperature by use case (warmer for art, brighter for kitchens), when CRI actually matters, dimming, and genuine styling tricks like using angled light to make a small room feel bigger.
Most art at home is poorly lit for three fixable reasons: the wrong CRI, the wrong angle, and the wrong beam spread. This guide walks through the 30° rule galleries use to light paintings without glare, how to choose a beam angle for small prints versus statement canvases, how to cross-light a sculpture so it doesn't look flat, and when a picture light beats a track spotlight. Practical, product-backed guidance for South African homes, gallery walls, and collectors.
