Well I have had 5 poundland (Electrek) LED lamps running on my test bench for nearly a month now and all are still running fine. I also have a couple of their older 3W versions which aren't very bright and only really useful for background lighting or in a multiple light setup.
The 5W poundland Electrek's are actually pretty damn good and give off a practical amount of light without getting that hot which should help with longevity.
Considering they are only a pound they are very good value and provided they last a year or 2 a bit of a steal.

They are actually pretty well designed and built to be honest:

Any idea what these equate to in old money (incandescent bulb wattage)?

Thanks,

Did research its about 50 watt not 30 watt
Think you must confusing these with 6 watt CFL as as they are about 25/30 watt incandesant

Got some 6 watt LED lights they are lot brighter than 30 watt incandescent

I guess I should of dug out the link from my research for my first post.
The Manufacturer part number is 100LDA6WB22COA3000K and matches this listing on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/GLS-LED-Opal-Warm-Light/dp/B00A4E5160

The product information section on this page states Incandescent Equivalent: 32 watts

Another seller stating 32 watt equivalence:

Thanks guys, although I must confess I'm quite confused 8-)

But I'm happy to try these on Oscar222's advice that they are a lot brighter than 30W.

Never seen 6 watt led giving as low output as 30 Watt incandescent maybe if its poor quality led driver or led chips
Got all led in house use led filament lights in chandelier used 5x4 watt to replace 5x20watt clear incandescent,s
Had to replace with 2 watt as way too bright

can get very similar if not the exact same in pound land.

You get what you pay for?
1is £1.80 cpc and the other was a £1poundshop.:confused:

Yes but you buy the same one from a store that is at cpc and you will pay more than the £1.80, none I have purchased from cpc have failed, 2 out of 2 failed from poundland. I am all for a bargain and this is only my experience.
