James P of Furzefield International Limited offered me one of these Superflare GU10 6W 2700K lamps to review out of the blue, and as I'd just leant one of my favourite warm white GU10s to a neighbour having second thoughts about her new LED lighting, I was pleased to give this lamp a test. I like it; in a perfect world I'd aim to match or beat the 100lm/W I have elsewhere and have a slightly less warm/orangey shade at (say) 3000K+, and have a slightly cooler case when running too, but this does a good job as-is.

In particular at the end of 2012 I have being trying to use warmer lighting in the evening in case it helps with sleep later, (and indeed running f.lux on Mac and Windows to adjust the display colour too), so the arrival of the Superflare was timely.

The Superflare's light colour and volume was liked in our kitchen, eg as compared against the Aurora V3 and recent Clas Ohlson and unbranded SMD 5050, being brighter than all the rest and nominally pretty efficient.

I also appreciate at my desk the light volume which is similar to the 9W dome lamp though a nicer shade and distribution (the Superflare claims a CRI of over 80 and relatively-wide beam angle), as well as again nominally much better on efficiency (A-rated, 90lm/W).

(I use a GU10 in a goose-neck sometimes as desk task lighting or more often as a uplighter for over my desk.)

The lamp's 'Chip on Board' (COB) technology gives a wide solid appearance to the emitter, rather than a very narrow point or a number of such as is more common.

2013-01-01: the lamps are available through Amazon at ~£12 one-off, or ~£10 for a discounted set of nine. (Also trailed were some dimmable lamps at a slightly reduced 500lm output.)

2013-06-12: took delivery of three more Superflare for use between the kitchen and my desk; bright pleasant warm colour and relatively low glare.

2016-08-07: consistently pleasant to use and reliable over several years, have increased rating to 5/5.

2021-03-26: a Superflare lamp failed a bit before 8am. There is what looks as if it might be a burn spot on the COB. The lamp died with a flash.
