Keep your receipt just in case (sounds daft but I have a lightbulb box* under the kickboard of my kitchen cabinets, philips have superb customer service for their lighting, just as long as you don't speak to the complete berk in Poland when I rang about their batteries ..god ..forbid :confused:

Very good find.
Just ordered some no-name LED's from Amazon lightning deal but will be cancelling that if I can pick up from B&Q in next few days. Says in stock at my local store so we shall see.

Poor customer services!!!!!! Be warned!!!
I bought 20 and all were faulty. The first 12 were replaced instantly but the others went over a few months, when I tried to return them, I got a Polish clown who was a complete job worth! After numerous obstacles and phone calls, I gave up.
Buy a different brand is the solution

20? all faulty? I find that hard to believe. Were they 12v MR16's by any chance?

I bought 12, fitted 6 and all fine.
To add I bought 12 GE bulbs a year ago and 2 have failed already.

Sounding al little bitter or like a Philips employee! Have you not heard of faulty goods. It's possible for anything to be faulty however you expect a high level of customer service when you pay for named brands. This was simply not the case at Philips and that's what am highlighting!!!

These use 90% less energy than traditional bulbs plus come on bright instantly and pay for themselves in a year & should last 15 years+. I reckon 12 if you are lucky but will buy one and come and update the thread

No, GU10's. Apparently a faulty batch according to Philips.

Your definitely a Philips employee! So you've not heard of faulty goods? You Fool! When you pay good money for what's meant to be decent branded goods, you expect a good level of customer service. This was not the case and ended up costing me a lot more to put things right! This is what I was highlighting you foooool!!!!!!

Wow, angry much? It looked to me like he was just expressing his surprise.
I've got lots of Phillips LED lights that are years old and going strong. I also have cheaper store bran LEDs that are fine too.
I'll take maybe a punt on a few.

We haven't got a dimmer. Should I get my hammer?

Brown tape over them is as good as a dimmer.

I bought more than 30 Philips LEDs 12 months ago in several types GU10s, ES 60w, ES mini globes, ES candle, and bayonet 60w. Just 1 failure which Tesco replaced without a murmur on production of the receipt. Hot from me.

The non-see through LED candle bulbs are on sale too
3W £2.50
4W £2.50
5.5w £3.50
and some others
All together Phillips LED bulbs are better priced now, and I would consider shopping at B&Q for some products that are not on Amazon Prime, eg 75 & 100 watt equiv bulbs.
