Careful not to put on a gauge that’s too different from what is already on - the truss rod will be set for a particular string tension. Go too light and they’ll start buzzing on the frets, too heavy and the action will be too high.

@radar Cheers. Don't have a caliper to measure them - if you had to guess on the ibanez what do you reckon? I think I will have the packaging from the last set of washburn strings in my case

10's is pretty crazy light for an acoustic, I'd try some D'Addario EJ26 11-52s myself...

Not sure, really! It’s a bit smaller than a dreadnought, right? I use 12s on my 000 sized guitar, they work well. That’s a ‘light’ gauge.
