this is nationwide. Got some in Wrexham yesterday and the girl said they are changing the packaging so clearing all old stock out for £1 or less

Thanks for the info, can't really go wrong with a pound each no matter how long they will last is what I'm thinking :wink:

The poundland 5W models are not very reliable, out of 5x 5W candle, 2 have already failed... it's too much in the smaller sizes without venting or outboard heat radiator (but currently stress testing a 5W golfball, 10 hours at a stretch) before I class it as good for where it's actually wanted.
Also, the smaller bulbs are normally in somewhat confined shades, which makes heat issues even worse
Now a 3rd one of the 5x 5W poundland candles has gone ... kicking myself for losing receipt. PS. Good teardown review of those Poundland Electreks ... https://youtu.be/b_eU3ZpN6aE
Note... the Poundland 5W standard globe is VENTED
PS. Homebase TCP 12W models - metal finned back as heatsink.
TCP 6W metal back (no fins)
Poundland - plastic (vented on the standard globes)
Poundstretcher (Hyundai) 7W - unsure by the touch test, seems cool to be plastic, but nothing like as cold to touch as the TCP ones
