GU10 base
Two short pins with flat feet, 10 mm apart. It runs on 120 volts. See all eight bases
Where it fits
Candle warmer manuals often ask for a GU10+C by name, and this is that bulb. The cover lens matters when the lamp sits close to wax, fragrance oil or kitchen grease. Wattage still decides how the lamp behaves, so match the number on the fixture. You can buy two 50W bulbs for one lamp or a box of six in the wattage you burn through most.
Check before you buy
- Your lamp label says GU10 or GU10+C and 120V.
- The wattage on the label matches the pack you pick.
- The bulb can sit 2 in deep in the shade without touching it.

Pick another one if
Skip it if your fixture is low voltage. Landscape spots and many older track kits run on 12V and take a GU5.3 base, which this bulb does not fit. Halogen also turns most of its power into heat. That is the point in a warmer lamp, and a drawback in a small closed fixture on all evening.

What buyers say about the GU10+C Halogen Bulb with Glass Cover, 120V
4.5 out of 5 from 2,222 ratings. Reviews word for word, with the critical ones left in.
Don't touch lens with bare skin
I installed the 1st bulb with my bare fingers and accidentally touched the lens of the bulb. Causing it to burn out in 2 days. I used a paper towel to unpack and install the next one.. This did the trick! I don't know what "Thickness" means in relation to a light bulb. Good value for money
Works good for a while
Work well lasted a little over a month though. Didn't put out a whole lot of heat output if that's what you're into. . Color and brightness were fine for low colors
Cheap
This bulb didn't even make it two months of occasional use. Save your money
Good Bulbs
These replacement bulbs worked perfect for my candle melter unit.
