MR20 GU10 halogen light bulbs with a 120 volt rating and a larger reflector than MR16 lamps. 

one of the nice innovations for light bulbs has been the implementation of twist lock bases which are typically the GU10 base.  It delivers a lot more flexibility than the older style of simple pins.  Along with that, there is now also MR20 GU10 halogen light bulbs which have a wider reflector and work in many other places that were not thought of traditionally to be anything but a small mirrored bulb.  MR20 lamps have always been a high voltage lamp when some versions of 120 volt came onto the market.  For this lamp there is only the twist lock base and it's emerging as the preferred type in the MR20 GU10 halogen light bulbs.  This 120 volt lamp does away with the need for a low voltage transformer and offers some design flexibility as a result.  These lamps are a medium size at 2.5 inches at the opening of the reflector, but they produce a lot of light and have great beam control.  That's why they been the choice of many retailers using them in their stores to highlight product better.

   

It can be a little confusing as there are so many different variations of this family of lamps, but MR20 bulbs are very distinct between the different beam spreads.  Always remember what matters most in identification are the wattage, voltage, the beam spread and base.  If you know these things then you can determine easily which one that you have right now.  All of them come with a dichroic coating which allows for better light output and heat that goes out the back of the lamp. Many people think that MR20 GU10 halogen bulbs can only be used indoors, but they can be used outdoors as well and are in many landscape lighting situations where the fixture has adequate sealing.  The precise beams of these lamps make it an ideal choice for getting the light where you need it in uplighting and general highlighting. Many times you think that you might have a regular floodlight in a recessed or track lighting fixture, but you might have an MR20 lamp as part of the configuration.
