I know this has been posted about the bulbs in poundland but thought I'd mention the store near me in Norris green Liverpool has them DIMMABLE!!!
That's a bargain for dimmable LED GU10's
I'm sure they will be gone quick!

These are not too bad but found in my local they had vtac 40w>5w led gu10s that are brighter , but for a quid all good and nice to see they are dimmable (vtac lamps are not dimmable)

I just bought some of the V-TAC ones and they seem OK (assuming they last). The box says 350 lumens. They are definitely a bit brighter than the halogen ones I'm replacing, more then adequate for our kitchen. I reckon they'll pay for themselves in a couple of months as I've replaced three 50w bulbs.

LED lamps need to be given a lumens rating an honest one otherwise you can't tell if they will be bright enough. The reason why it has taken so long for LEDs to catch on is because of the dishonest way they have been pushed as equivalent to 50w halogen etc when they are no where near. Just saying they are LED lamps is not very helpful.

These are the horrible old style ones with a bunch of ordinary LEDs squashed into a the bulb. The other non-dimable one posted a few days back are much better quality and brighter.

As an electrician installing these regular my advice is swerve cheap LED lamps. Pay a little bit extra. A good source is ledhut website. Sign up to their 'trade' website for even more discount! :stuck_out_tongue::sunglasses:

Aldi has 14w -900 !!! lumen ordinary energy saving bulbs for £1.99 ,
was sick of these stupid poundland bulbs which consumes some 4-5w yet barely has 300lumens upgraded to aldi bulbs and now the colour is so much better and all my rooms are super bright for maybe an extra £2/month in electricity.
