The knobbly surface of 60 LEDs gives plenty of grip, and you don't need to change them often.
If you haven't yet got 60 LEDs in your GU10s, then replace them. Maybe use an angle grinder to get the old ones out.

I read bad reports about GU10 leds. Short life etc. True ?
Life was shorter than you'd want for payback. The payback time was long. It's now shorter. I understand tungsten bulbs cost ~=A310 per year to run. LED bulbs are beco= ming mainstream - I have several and they're good.
load of R50 and GU10 LED bulbs for a fiver each. Charging £22 each is a bit of a piss take.

The ones I had, certainly. They lasted between 6-24 months. I've now gone back to halogen.
That's the least of your worries. I know plenty of horror stories of people cheapskating on GU10 LED bulbs, getting them from ebay, and they catch fire.
Really, don't cheapskate on cheap Chinese made LED lighting... Stick to the brands you know (OSRAM etc...)
Semi true.
1 in 10 will fail within a week or so based on the last 2000 or so that I fitted or was involved with fitting.Send them back to the retailer and get a new one. The ones that do work seem to work for quite a while.
I use my car engine valve grinding-in tool. Gives good suction - and a very useful 25cm overhead reach too.
