How to choose Vinaco GU10 Bulbs
Match the wattage on the label
A candle warmer or a hood names its wattage near the socket. Buy that number. More watts mean more heat than the fixture was built for.
GU10 or GU10+C
Both lock into the same socket. The +C has a glass cover over the reflector, and many warmer lamps ask for it by name.
Halogen or LED
Halogen dims and makes the heat a wax warmer needs. The LED uses 5 watts and stays cool, but it does not dim and it will not melt wax.

Vinaco GU10 Bulbs: questions
Which Vinaco GU10 bulb fits a candle warmer lamp?
The halogen GU10 or GU10+C in the wattage your lamp names, most often 25W, 35W or 50W. The LED version will not melt wax.
Do GU10 bulbs need a transformer?
No. A GU10 runs on 120V house power. The bulb that needs a transformer is the 12V MR16 with a GU5.3 base.
How do I remove a GU10 bulb?
Let it cool, press it in a little and turn it counterclockwise until the pins come free. Buyers often use a rubber glove or a suction cup for grip.
