The cheap and higher wattage bulbs like the Electrek Poundland LEDs tend to be built to run hot and are therefore prone to a short (sometimes very short) life. No idea what the build quality is like on these ASDA ones but people do need reminding that LEDs aren't just all the same.

At a quid a time you can just reason that it's no bother to replace them but it gets a bit boring constantly hearing this misjudged "They're only a quid in PoundWhatever" every time other LED bulbs are listed.

Tesco?

:smiley:

Always a pound in ... guess where!

Is this deal in all Asda,s if not still a gr8 deal,heat added

Any chance they are dimmable?

unlikely, probably narrow beam angle too

Good for anybody who hasnt' got a poundland or poundworld in their area.
Not a mega deal otherwise considering the PL and PW have been doing them for a year or two now.

I see where you are coming from but like you say there is nothing to say the ASDA ones are better, and if my PL/PW have lasted a couple of years already then I'm happy, unless all 20 or so I have go pop tomorrow :wink:
One comment that isn't true though is saying they are higher wattage, the ASDA one in the picture shows 5w, I have both 3w and 5w PW/PL ones, I'd imagine others are available too
