Hi,
I was looking for GU10 bulbs that natively support apple homekit, but I couldn‘t find any. I just found some gu10 bulbs that need bridge or hub (like philips hue) to connect to apple homekit, but I don‘t want it. I need gu10 bulbs that natively support homekit, like the e27 bulbs version. Do you guys have any recommendation? Thanks

Nevermind guys, I have the solution. I‘ve just purchased an adapter from GU10 to E27, and now I can use any E27 Smart LED Bulbs that support natively to HomeKit. And I don‘t have to buy from specific company that sells the GU10 version with high price.

I just works perfectly.

I know, it seems like waste of energy since GU10 lamp just need 3-6 watt and need many lamps because it just produces 300-450 lm, in comparison to the E27 lamp that need 8-10 watt and actually just need one lamp because it can produce 800-900 lm. But because I have the 4 socket and have 4 e27 lamp, so I set it never more than 50% of its brightness. I‘ve seen video that tested the lamp power consumption in comparisson to its brightness, and it show with 50% brightness, the power consumption also 50% of its 9 watt maximum power consumption. So….. It just like I fit 4 4,5 watt lamps to the 4 socket, just like I do with the normal GU10 lamp
