Have l Bought The Wrong Bulbs?

I usually buy 50w GU10 - Flood halogen reflectors for my two kitchen light fittings. (4 lights in each)
Whilst in Costco last week, l saw 50w GU10 LED bulbs and bought two packs of four.
I notice now that the pack states ‘dimmable’ but my switches aren’t dimmer switches. They also state ‘warm white’! Will they be too dull for a kitchen?

Please would someone advise me, if they will still be ok to use in my kitchen, or should l take them back? Thank You.

Here are pics of the two packs of lights....

Dimmable just means being able to use with a dimmer switch,you'll have to try them for the light.

Re: Have l Bought The Wrong Bulbs?

I think they should be ok as long as the bulb fittings are the same as the bulb holder. Wish we could buy a 12 pack like that, ours come in twos .

Norway, l think the blue 12 pack halogen bulbs have been discontinued now? I bought a lot of packs, a while back.
I bought the LED four pack as they were only £5.95 per pack.

So was that a light bulb moment or not a light bulb moment?

I have swapped mine for LED bulbs 3w which give off more light!
