GU10 LED hacks including removing the lenses.

This is a spontaneous modification I did to a GU10 lamp to see how the removal of the lenses to expose the bare LEDs would affect the way it lit my DIY LED glitter lamps.

The lenses and front plate are normally used to clamp the LED panel against the heatsink in these lights, so I used a silicone sealant to bond them to the heatsink instead.

The result is good. Instead of a pattern of lenses being reflected by the glitter, it creates a mass of very sharp points of light instead.

I also made two variants by retrofitting one lamp with two blue and one green LED, and another lamp with two yellow and one red LED. This gives a mixture of colours being reflected by the glitter.
