The lamp is chosen independently of the bulb: you then set the power and the colour tone of the light. The three models in the collection are IP20, for indoor use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGU10 desk lamp: a standard socket\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe GU10 cap is a standard: two short pins, a quarter turn, no thread. This means a bulb bought anywhere fits, and a lamp whose bulb blows does not become unusable. The IP20 rating indicates protection against contact and solid dust, without watertightness: these fixtures stay indoors, away from water splashes. The feet are in metal, brass, aluminium or steel, and the shade or base can be adjusted to aim at a worktop, a book or a wall. To compare with fixtures offering a wider range of adjustment, see \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/designix.fr\/collections\/lampes-a-poser-orientables\"\u003eadjustable desk lamps\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGU10 LED lamps: what the bulb changes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe lamp does not give the light: the bulb does. A GU10 LED bulb gives off little heat and uses less than a halogen bulb of the same cap, which matters in a fixture placed near a hand or a fabric. The colour tone is chosen when buying the bulb, not the lamp, so you can correct an ambience that is too cold without changing the fixture.

A 43 cm stem for a 19.5 cm base keeps a slender silhouette, without a bulky effect. The green, taupe or blue of some finishes work better as a single accent than as a pair.

A gold finish catches the light even when switched off, a black foot disappears on dark furniture. The simplest match remains aligning the finish of the foot with that of the handles or the structure of the furniture.

With 10 W GU10 bulbs, three lamps stay very far from the limit of an ordinary lighting circuit; the check is made on the combined power of the bulbs fitted, not that of the fixtures. Switch off at the breaker, never only at the switch, before touching a wire. The starting point for building a coherent set remains \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/luminaire\"\u003ethe Designix lighting catalogue\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWiring several lamps in parallel: the principle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn parallel, each lamp receives the same voltage: if one is removed or blows, the others keep working. In series, they would all go out. This is why all domestic lighting is wired this way, recessed spotlights included. If you replace the bulbs with LEDs, keep the same wiring logic and check the compatibility of the dimmer if there is one. The \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/lampes-a-poser-led-design\"\u003edesign LED desk lamps\u003c\/a\u003e complete a network of light points without changing the wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"changer\"\u003eHow to change and fit a GU10 bulb?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA GU10 bulb is fitted with a quarter turn in its socket: you push it in, turn until it locks, without forcing. Before any handling, switch off the power and let it cool. To change it, turn the other way, remove the bulb, then engage the new one in the same grooves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eChanging the GU10 bulb of a desk lamp\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnplug the lamp or switch off the circuit, then let the bulb cool: even with LED, the cap stays hot after an hour of use.

The pins of the GU10 are short and do not screw in: if the bulb turns freely, it is not engaged in the grooves, take it out and start again.

Above all, check that the power of the bulb stays within the limit stated for your lamp, namely 10 W or 35 W depending on the model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGU10 2700K lamps: for which ambience?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAround 2700 K, the light leans towards warm white, close to the incandescent bulb: this is the tone that suits a bedside table or a reading corner. Around 4000 K, the rendering becomes more neutral and sharper, useful on a desk where printed documents are read. In between, 3000 K remains a common compromise in the kitchen. The choice is made when buying the bulb, and can therefore be corrected without changing the lamp. To push consistency further, the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/lampes-a-poser-led-pour-chambre\"\u003eLED bedroom lighting\u003c\/a\u003e follows the same logic of tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGU10 50W or 10W lamps: reading the power without getting it wrong\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOld GU10 halogen bulbs often showed 50 W, a value that says nothing about a current LED bulb: it is the luminous flux, expressed in lumens on the packaging, that indicates the amount of light. On these desk lamps, the product sheets state a limit of 10 W or 35 W depending on the model, to be respected so as not to overheat the socket. A more powerful bulb does not necessarily light better.
