I am looking for the equivalent of a 50w GU10 bulb to fit into some downlighters that are a lot cooler than the usual halogen one's. Can anyone tell me where to get anything like these?

I just posted an article on GU10s about thirty minutes before you. If these work in the UK it may be worth looking at the seller shouji_hk or william6.trade on Ebay.

It seems the LED ones aren't too good. Somone has recommended GU10 compact fluorescents instead. Google it.

Rip the things out. If someone really wants downlighters then fit those which will take compact fluorescent reflector bulbs.

Search for Megaman lamps - they make fluorescent equivalents to GU10. I've just fitted some in the kitchen.
Good and bright with a wide, even pattern. BUT, big BUT, they do take a couple of minutes to warm up, and initial light output for the first 30 or seconds is VERY low, like 5-10%. OK for areas that are on continuously, but not where you need instant light.
