Or you could just do the math... assuming replacing 75w bulbs:
75w-8.7w = 66.3w (energy saving)
66.3 * 15,000hrs = 994500wh (watt-hours, over bulb lifetime. Assuming 8 hours a day, that's 5~ years)
/1000 = 994kwh (total saved energy usage in kwh)
994kwh * £0.1 = £99.45 (assuming rate of 10p/kwh, conservative)

£99.45 * 5 bulbs = £497.25 (total saving with 5 bulbs)

So yes, hundreds indeed. Perhaps before you start being condescending and patronising, check your facts first. Took me literally 1 minute to work out.

I think the words 'non dimmable' in the bullet points on their product page might be the giveaway.....

No these are non-dimmable :laughing:

These are nice and bright.

Good value. Good bulbs.

Many thanks just ordered some

Purchased these before. They are excellent. Will get some more. Thanks for posting!

Thanks, I've been waiting for these to come back in stock.

Recommended....

Wouldn't you want warm white, bit softer.

£5 postage though - anyway around this?

Not a super local Screwfix by me. :disappointed:

So dim...

are there any 4w versions for this price too?

Spam

ive got the spotlights and seem ok. managed to pick up a few cheap cfls from work so cant justify swapping until they pop lol

grabbed a box of these a little while ago, they are great, as bright if not brighter than a regular 60w, and unlike energy saving ones, instant fullk brightness when switched on. Just ordered another box for collection, thanks OP

Anyone recommend any like these but a dimmable version ?

Order for collection. Thanks, have some well deserved heat!

Bought these back in November. Brilliant bulbs. Perfect white light and very bright. Very impressed with these highly recommended. Hot!

Ordered for my dad.
Thank you.

thank you just bought + voted hot
trying to save on electricity bills...
...so i can spend more on HUKD
:P

Do leds last longer than your traditional?

ordered the warm white, thanks

the promo code has expired though

Brilliant!, thanks OP, ordered! Needed the screwfix taps on here too so got 2 mixer taps & a pack of bulbs for £55 & free delivery!, looked at similar bulbs to these at near £10 each!, hell of a saving!!

Ordered the warm white, thanx op +heat :wink:

How do these compare to the toolstation ones on here a while ago. I got some of those and they seem good, though find skin tones look a little grey if directly under them, which seems a common issue with the cheaper (non Philips or osram) bulbs

Are these dimmable?

6w = 60w with 25000 hours life and A++ rating , can be bought from eBay for the same price

Had cool white before and it felt like being inside a fridge. Now go for warm white everywhere but the kitchen where I go with daylight types.

I think they should rename cool white - harsh white :confused:

Thanks for this, missed out the last time! Ordered a box of each so hopefully won't need to buy a new bulb for a long long time...

I changed every bulb in our house to LED and it made a massive difference to our energy useage.
If I didn't have the wifi energy consumption meter to prove it I would never have believed it.

There is a little bit of luck needed though, I've had a couple blow quite early on in their life, the last a phillips LED did me for about 3 hours and they don't take them back.

FYI there are 4 options available at the same price - bayonet and screw each with cool or warm white.

What do you spend your extra £3.50 a year on?
What did you spend your extra £3.50 a year on?

Ordered. Appreciate the effort.

LED vs CCFL/Energy saving bulbs - which is brighter? Lasts longer? Uses less energy?

I have the warm white ones, they are great. Start up like a normal bulb and nice and bright straight away

About the same price (£2) at Home Bargains.

Are these cheaper then halogen bulbs to run ?

Is that including the price of lamps though and swapping from normal energy savers?

You can save huge amounts compared to normal / old lamps, especially people with 60W kitchen spots of 50X GU10's

I'm almost full LED now and me electric has gone from £57 a month when we moved in (100W globes all over the place) to £13 now!! Obviously depends on what you have but there are huge savings to be made and now they are less than £2 each, the outlay is not so big.

Think the problem with the LED bulbs at the moment is the manufacturers quote the lifetime of the LEDs, which only works under ideal conditions. Some bulbs get too hot and that is why the fail.

These ones seem very good in terms of light output for the money. The only slight complaint is that the warm white bulbs are very warm, almost reddish. But you get used to it.

Ordered the warm whites - cheers :smiley:

[i]i]

If it's OK I'll just put the one reply up, how many light bulbs do I have in the house Fireman 1?
How many GU10s did I used to have that are now LED?

Please let me know then we can calculate the energy savings accurately together.

Having spoken to one of the major UK distributors, these lamps are only intended to work pointing downwards. If they are mounted in a wall fitting where they are upright, there is no light at all emitted in a downward direction, you only get the reflected light.
Be aware of this before you buy !

Cool white is closer to the white you get from the sun. Warm white is similar to the light from old type bulbs with a glowing element. LED bulbs run cold by comparison with old bulbs. Cool white is recommended for kitchens and bathrooms. LED bulbs can be left on when the house is empty to give a lived in look - when Jimmy Scally is looking for something to rob. 12 hours for 1 penny. with a Screwfix 8.7watt lamp. I've used 30 of these new bulbs so far with no complaints from customers.

hotttttttt! looking at a fiver each for good quality normally

Highly recommend

Ordered the warm whites ..many thanks :smiley:

Where did you get that idea? 60-watt incandescent bulb = 800 lumens, this bulb 89.5x8.7= 778 lumens slightly less than a 60watt

Thanks. Code seems to have no effect on price though.

Best go for warm-white rather than cool-white. The cool-white provides a slightly fake lighting which turned my pastel blue living room purple. I swapped to warm-whites which were more accurate.

you can also get a 5 pack for £9.98 from toolstation.
(warm light)
http://www.toolstation.com/shop/p39839

Thanks, always on the lookout for decent low wattage bulbs

A wholr penny less at toolstation for the warm White (39839)

http://www.toolstation.com/m/part.html?p=39839

Sorry, already mentioned.
They're very good!

I changed all our bulbs over to LED's, but gradually going back to cfls.The LED's are very nice, but over a period of 12months about 50% have failed. I don't know if that's an inherent problem, or the fact they're being churned out in China.

Where did you buy yours, and which brand were they?

Do you live in Buckingham Palace and have lights on all the time?. £43 reduction is using 478KW/hrs less that's 4,780 hours for a 100w bulb or 50 bulbs running for 95hours

LED bulbs really came down in 2015, every household should have these now to save hundreds every year.

Cool white is if you want your house lit up like a morgue. It has a strange eerie weird nasty horrible hue.

Yes, but not at a price anyone would consider close to reasonable.

https://www.wholesaleledlights.co.uk/dimmable-b22-6w-omni-led-clear-globe.html

The main problem the lighting industry has is with incompetent designers who have failed to even consider that the old incandescent lights have now gone obsolete, and that they need new designs for the Fluorescent low energy types.
Other than that if you are using the normal low energy lamps there's no good reason to change to LED as there is no energy saving and the extra cost is difficult to justify.

Virtually all my light fittings point upwards, I like them so don't want to change them.
I've tried CFL's but don't like them so have settled for halogen inside a traditional bulb shape until the right LED comes along

Brought a pack of cool white to put in the hallways and kitchen, and a pack of warm white for the bedrooms and living rooms, HOT

listed last week?

I'm having problems putting a order through on the website. Is anyone else?

Just collected from local screwfix, great price for 5 bulbs

Amazing really how people buy into things isn't. This guy is saving unfeasible amounts. Maybe the neighbour tapping into his electrics to run his cannabis farm got busted at the same time by coincidence!
Another poster says he will save hundreds! yeah right.
Yes you will save money, but hundreds of pounds, no chance! collectively as a nation or worldwide the savings are considerable to reduce co2 but as a household don't buy into savings of hundreds by swapping out a few bulbs!

If it's OK I'll just put the one reply up, how many light bulbs do I have in the house Fireman 1?
How many GU10s did I used to have that are now LED?

Please let me know then we can calculate the energy savings accurately together.[/quote]

I would imagine you are in a better position to answer that question.
Ok, If you want me guess I will assume you used to run a thousand gu10 bulbs for 23 hours a day and you have swapped them out for 2 led bulbs that you never turn on.

cold since they don't have in Northampton and looks like the low priced items are not stocked at all in most places ...Only to show in website and not available for even ordering

There is something wrong with people in UK. It's still warm white. And all bulbs in all shops I ever saw are warm not even white. Its OK in your bedroom as warm light makes you feeling sleepy but if it's everywhere it makes you feeling tired and depressed all time. Im not using warm light before 8pm.
everything under 4700k is warm, between 4700k and 6000k is daylight and above is cool light.
Now go and try to buy some bulb for your living room :smiley:
That's probably why in continent we used to call you depressed nation :smile:

The Wilkinson ones that look very much like these are fine in standard shades - I noticed no difference at all. When I looked just now, having been alerted to the fact they weren't good, I could say there's maybe a small difference on the floor immediately below but as I said in a previous post it's really not significant.

I just went and bought 5x 10W LED Warm White, link is on this thread. They're perfect, nice warm glow and bright enough. However I wanted some GU10s as well and Toolstation maxed out at 5W, so I went over to Screwfix and got 5x 5.8W Warm White GU10 LEDs for £24.99, they're good with what I regard as a proper light temperature.

There's a solution for that (SAD) and Jet Lag >

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00FGUUCP2/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=569136327&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B006WLGDJ8&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=1PBZME1Y8BXA7ZJFP49H

I hate the usual energy bulbs that came in with such a huge fanfare. Simply not bright enough.

Are these like those or do they give off a bright/white light? Thanks

I would take that report with a pinch of salt. Some of the facts are total BULL. I have year old CFLs in most of my rooms and they instantly light. The report fails to mention failure modes of LED's, like they hate heat & fail very quickly when they get to hot, so this is a very bias piece of journalism.

Toolstation also do a similar deal, although these maybe brighter as they are a higher wattage. These too are excellent bulbs!
http://www.toolstation.com/shop/p39839?table=no

I consider warm as 3000k, extra warm as 2700k. There's an obvious visual difference between even those two. Old style incandescent lamps are around 2700k. From experience even 2700k light before bedtime can have a negative effect on sleep, and bad sleep patterns are just as likely to make you feel depressed.

Someones growing something they're not suppose to be :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks, picked up 3 boxes today, got warm for myself and when I told my mother about the deal she wanted some for herself and her mum! They got the cool white bulbs which I don't like, too harsh and sterile. I've bought the warm bulbs for living room and bedroom ceiling lights, look lovely! Heat!

What bright spark posted this deal...

Thanks - ordered the warm white :smiley:

Cheers, picked up a box earlier. Seem a very good build. I've bought LED bulbs from ebay at a similar price, but they were from China (took about 3 weeks to arrive), unbranded, and with no warranty. These have a 3 year warranty.

For general use around the house I'd always go for warm white, bit more yellow. I find bright white is too harsh and glaring.

LED bulbs do have specific angles, which is actually a good thing as they're more customisable, but it can cause confusion for those just wanting them for general use. One of these fills a normal sized room with plenty of light.

While I realise these are a fair price, led bulbs in poundland are a pound each and are just a standard stock item. Is there a specific reason why these are worth paying the extra for?

Or you could just do the math... assuming replacing 75w bulbs:
75w-8.7w = 66.3w (energy saving)
66.3 * 15,000hrs = 994500wh (watt-hours, over bulb lifetime. Assuming 8 hours a day, that's 5~ years)
/1000 = 994kwh (total saved energy usage in kwh)
994kwh * £0.1 = £99.45 (assuming rate of 10p/kwh, conservative)

£99.45 * 5 bulbs = £497.25 (total saving with 5 bulbs)

So yes, hundreds indeed. Perhaps before you start being condescending and patronising, check your facts first. Took me literally 1 minute to work out.

Just bought and fitted 10 of the warm white- very impressed indeed, very bright. I work in a national electrical wholesaler and I can't even get lamps in led this cheap ( at cost +1p!) so these are also very cheap.
I hope they last well, but with a 3 year warranty so long as you keep your receipt you have no worries.

Warm white = 2700K (all +/- 500ish)
Cool white = 4000K
Daylight white = 6000K
Daylight white has been shown to reduce SAD, though can have a negative impact on sleep if used before bedtime.

Daylight for daytime is fine and for colour work you do need something cool. But for not messing with your sleep patterns you need warm white in the evening and preferably dim warm white just before bed. People get used to (and like) unnatural things but warm white, actually orange/red light in the evening is the natural choice and will disrupt your sleep the least.

Thanks for that... so basically that's saying over 1 year, 5 lamps can save £100 and I've done around 30 lights.

Obviously not all of these are on for 8 hours a day but still the savings can be huge so just trying to get this across to people!

So my current usage is now pretty much exactly 100kWh per month and I reckon around 40% of this usage (maybe half) is lighting... if you consider that the LEDs are using (on average) 10% of the power of what they replaced then you can see how I'm confident that the £100 outlay on the LED lamps had pretty much paid for itself already.

If you've currently got 11W energy savers all over the place you won't save much but it's people with lots of spot lights and 50W GU10's (get Wickes LEDs) that can make the difference, I've even done the cooker hood lamps which are on quite a bit - 2x1.4W replacing 2x40W!

Thx. Ordered 2 lots. Heat added.

Because I've fitted them and they appear to be noticeably brighter!

These are 806Lumen by the way according to the box (Cool White BC)

upvoted from me /Ive just bought a set of of these warm white. They are instant on with no waiting for it to brighten. Id rate it at about 70w equivalent brightness and has the same orange colour tint of normal filament light bulbs.

Picked some of the cool white up today and just fitted them. Incredibly bright compared to our old energy saving light bulbs and excellent value for a tenner.

Bought 2 lboxes and fitted (warm white). Excellent bulbs. They turn on a few milliseconds slower than my (very expensive in comparison) Philips LEDs, but overall excellent performance. No more in stock in my store now, so have ordered more to store to collect tomorrow. Heat.

Reserved online collected today, there are very good..! Cheers

fitted 5 warm white tonight around the house. I think they are fantastic for £2 a piece. Better than other energy saving bulbs. Will buy some more

Thanks OP! parents bought warm white and they look very nice. Much brighter than standard Energy saving ones they had and even though they are warm white they are slightly less "yellow" than the old bulbs which is better as the walls looked really yellowy.
Haven't bought the cool white but would imagine they'd be very bluish-white given the warm ones aren't considerably yellow anyway.

So according to his figures your going to save £600 a year swapping your bulbs! Good luck with that one.

Some fairly exaggerated assumptions in your figures to to bump the savings. 75 watt bulbs for starters. 60 is the common maximum and most people use much lower. Even then many would be using lower wattage 60 watt equivalent and not actual 60's.
As stated, most people will be swapping out 11w energy savers for better light and miniscule savings seeing as you cant even buy old style high power bulbs anymore in UK shops. Also 8 hours a day every single day on an old style 75 watt bulb is a ridiculous assumption. Do you live in a tanning salon.

Ordered, thanks

That's interesting... So these cool white are not so bluish then and more of a mid or daylight colour?
Only reason I ask if cause a couple of years ago I got some cool white from LED hut and they were very stark clinical looking. In hindsight, not a great decision. Overtime and through more experience ive found some warm white bulbs to be more borderline "daytime" which I think is nicer as some are way to yellow.

You seem to be very confused by the numbers. Reducing the replaced bulb to 60w reduces the total savings by £22.5, to £76.95 per bulb. Which brings the savings to £384.75 for these 5 bulbs. So still many hundreds.
The 8 hours a day is nothing to do with the calculations or the total saving, they are an example of how long you could expect to see the return. What else is there "exaggerated"?
And if you actually read the posts you replied to, it was not stated they were replacing energy savers, but clearly stated 60-100w bulbs.
You seem intent on not admitting you were wrong, but by all means continue to try and argue against numbers..

How about an article to reiterate my point? They actually assume 10 hours a day, (some people are retired, work at home,etc), and a "typical" energy cost of 12.2p/kwh, not the 10p/kwh I assumed. So my numbers are actually conservative.

Thanks for the reply :smiley:
Good to know about the Wilkinson's but it looks like they are £7-£8 each.

I'm looking for LED bulbs suitable for these type of fittings. With my ageing eyes I need bulbs with a good spread of light, I don't want mood lighting. Wilkinson appear to do them for £7-£8 each but I was hoping to get them cheaper.
Also regarding the cool/warm debate does it matter as much when the bulbs sit inside these type of shades

Just picked up a pack, instant on very bright would say near 100W equiv

just bought these. they are advertised as cool white. but in fact they are 4000k which is day white.. not cool white

Hi my post was in two parts.
First part is that I require bulbs for the type of fittings shown. It was mentioned earlier that the bulbs in the original post emitted light mostly from the top making them unsuitable for that type of fitting as most of the light would be directed at the ceiling.
If you can help then I have 3 fittings similar to the one shown in my post that use BC connectors and used in conjunction with dimmers
I have another fittings which is very similar but it has SES fittings and without a dimmer.
I also have another fitting that looks similar but it does not have shades so the bulb can be seen. That uses SES candle bulbs and is used without a dimmer.
As regards cool/warm I was going to buy a couple of each and then choose.

In the second part of my post I was just adding to the cool/warm argument by saying does it really matter if the bulb is in a shade that obscures the light?

Non-dimmable is obviously cheaper, I often use CPC, part numbers below. I find these give a decent spread of light though like many LED lamps they send more light in the direction they are pointing.
SES(E14) 5 Watt Warm white candle LP0784687 £3.50 each or £2.95 for 5 or more
SES(E14) 5 Watt Daylight white candle LP0784787 £3.50 each or £2.95 for 5 or more.
BC(B22) 5 watt Warm white candle LP0784287 £3.50 each or £2.95 for 5 or more
BC(B22) 5 Watt Daylight white candle LP0784387 £3.50 each or £2.95 for 5 or more.

Remember LEDs do not typically work with conventional dimmers, chances are you'll need to change them. I do not have a cheap source for dimmable GLS, golf ball or candle lamps as I only use dimmable GU10. I'll have a look for dimmable. I am aware I have given you warm and daylight options only, may get time to find cool white though I am particularly fond of daylight, I'd recommend you try it.

Does anyone know if Screwfix do store transfers? After showing both my aunts the bulbs they want some but the closest store with stock is a good few miles away, I was wondering if they would send some to another store if I rang up?

Missed out if I went yesterday they had 5 packs in stock ordered last pack went to pick up guess what they can not find it so got the last pack of the warm white instead not bad with a 3 year guarantee but just one question when one goes do you have to take them all back or will they just replace one

Good deal, used it and worked well. Not sure if the price was special price and may not continue for ever

At <£2 per bulb these are a good buy. I already have seven 'LongLifeCo' R63 LED's in the kitchen and they have performed exceptionally well. Today I replaced the rest of the bulbs in the house with a mix of these LAP GLS bulbs and same spec (806 lumen) Phillips GLS bulbs (these were on offer last week at B&Q for £4 each). There is no obvious difference in brightness/warmth, however my only minor complaint is the LAP bulbs have a very short delay in start up, the other brands I have are instant.

Was wandering it comes with a 3year warranty. Do they do a refund at screwfix if one or all stop working before then. Or would we have to get intouch with the manufacturer? thanks

Thanks, the next closest store to me is 12 miles away which is a bit far as my Aunts only asked if I could pick some up if they're local.

Will these candle bulbs give a good spread of light in the type of fitment that I've shown. I really don't want most of the light directed to the ceiling.

Yes, though lighting is very subjective. Photo of my daughters bedroom with three 5 Watt daylight versions of the candle...(assuming I've done it correctly)

Thank you for taking the time to do that it's very much appreciated :smiley:

these are great.

Quick Question guys:

If one of them stops working would these be replaced in screwfix? Or would we have to contact the manucaturer?

Bough some OSRAM LED bulbs today in tescos at £10 each! Gutted!

I thought I'd investigate what to do if a bulb fails. So I looked at the box and its a little devoid of contact information. However there is a barcode, and underneath that it says "Powersmith Ltd BA22 8RT". When I google that postcode it seems to be at least one of the registered addresses for Screwfix themselves, so I suspect this is actually one of their own-brands, unless anyone knows better?

Thanks OP.

Bought 2 packs of these expecting to have a couple spare, then realised I forgot about the garage, second hall light. So went trough all 10 very easily.

Can't go wrong at £2 a pop (unless you don't like the colour of the light). Very short repay period, no brainer.

Picked up a pack today. Working well and the instant on is such a bonus. The old lights used to take forever to "warm up" which was a novelty at first but just plain annoying in the end. As others have said though, used the five I bought in a matter of seconds, have to wait to more in stock to get some more. We need at least another 10 I expect.

Poundland has variety of LED lamps, candle and round with B22 (BC or bayonet cap) and SES (small screw) fitting. There didn't appear to be any B15 (small bayonet) though which is a shame as I could do with some.
5 watt is the most powerful I could find and it is remarkably bright, there are also lesser wattage units available.

great, thanks got a couple of boxes, as all the low energy ones I had from years ago when they were cheap and energy companies and local authorities were giving them away have all finished, haven't bought bulbs for over 5/7 years , was astonished to see prices are now £3/4/5 + per bulb. this has come along at right time. However they are all out of stock now, at least near me they are.

Bought these and they seem a lot brighter than my old filament 60w bulbs. I do find the light a bit too white though, has anyone tried the Warm white ones is that more of a traditional hue?

I can also attest to the performance of these bulbs. Very bright (easily 60w equiv), very even light, and nice warm colour. Perfect. It's just pure energy savings. Really a no brainer.

Looks like Tesco may be clearing their Osram 10w 810lm warm seen for £1 b22 &e27

Probably store specific so just look out next visit.
edit :
these ones A60 around the same lm as the posted but 10w 4yr replacement warranty
http://www.osram.com/osram_com/products/led-technology/lamps/consumer-led-lamps-with-classic-bulbs/led-superstar-classic-a/index.jsp

Payback going from compact fluorescent is probably around 1000hr-1200hr/£
from incandescent is closer to 200hr

Thinking about it I think a much better way to work out savings on use is the hours/£. against the typical equivalent or the actual ones you are using.

then factor in the lifestyle change better light and in some cases better looking(I am changing some spirals to the osram)

eg these 800lm are closer to 75w incandescent, or 14w CF.

Say 9w for these and 13p kwh savings are 66w and 5w that's 116hr/£ or 1500hr/£

Switching out incandescent is a no brainer(should have been done anyway) but you need the lights on a lot to save from a CF within a reasonable time, over 4 years that's 3000hr for the £2 units or 2hrs a day, very few of our light do 2hrs+ a day every day especially through the summer

If you live in a house where they are, might be an idea to get some windows :smiley:

Most of our CF were free or almost free as the energy companies were giving them away and there were always some on silly sale at like 10p when they change tech or packaging got a box full of them.

Good deal if you need these. "Cool light" = 4000K is very white.
2 left at Farnham (GU10 - that's post code NOT light fitting)

Bargain! good find

no stock in London?
