Question: Is it possible to obtain GU10 lamps in different colours? GU10 lamps are known to give a yellow light - but is there one available that gives a purer white light?
Answer: We don't have anything else available in our range - all of our lamps typically have a colour temperature of about 2900K - which is quite warm. You could consider using a very subtle blue filter possibly, or try other manufacturers, but I have not come across an alternative.
Or, if you can change to low voltage halogen lamps, OSRAM does have the Decostar 'Cool Blue' lamp which produces a much cooler white (4500K).
