2. Setup and Installation
The V-TAC VT-271 LED spotlight is designed for simple installation into existing GU10 compatible fixtures. Follow these steps carefully to ensure safe and correct setup.
Safety Precautions
- Always turn off the power supply at the main circuit breaker before attempting any installation or maintenance.
- Ensure the fixture is compatible with GU10 base bulbs and the specified wattage (10W).
- Do not handle the bulb with wet hands.
- Allow the old bulb to cool down completely before removal.
Installation Steps
- Turn Off Power: Locate the circuit breaker controlling the light fixture and switch it to the "OFF" position.
- Remove Old Bulb: Carefully remove the existing bulb from the GU10 fixture. For GU10 bulbs, this typically involves pushing up and twisting counter-clockwise.
- Insert New Bulb: Align the two pins of the V-TAC VT-271 LED spotlight with the holes in the GU10 socket. Push the bulb firmly into the socket and twist clockwise until it locks into place.
- Restore Power: Once the bulb is securely installed, return to the circuit breaker and switch the power back to the "ON" position.
- Test: Turn on the light switch to confirm the new LED spotlight is functioning correctly.

4. Maintenance
The V-TAC VT-271 LED spotlight requires minimal maintenance due to its long lifespan and durable design.
- Cleaning: To clean the bulb, ensure the power is off and the bulb is cool. Gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
- Replacement: Given its 30,000-hour lifespan, frequent replacement is not expected. When replacement is necessary, follow the installation steps outlined in Section 2.
