We have these track lights at home, that have a bunch of lamps in them. Replacing them is a nightmare because I can never remember which kind of base they are, and even though GE has a bulb finder, it's annoying as all hell to try to find products that match the spec because they aren't obvious about what these things are.
So here's the short version:
1. GU 5.3 - this is the bi-pin version with the sharp pointy tips
2. GU 10 - this is the one with the little heads on them. There's also a GU 11 that looks very similar, though.
In hindsight, I should have taken a photo and asked ChatGPT!
