B&Q have a great deal on LED bulbs. Most of there bulbs were reduced. I spotted these in the Washington, Tyne and Wear branch. Great bulb and ideal replacement for gu10 50w! They had loads of other types of bulb reduced too.

Replaced all the spots in my house with these a few months ago last time they were on offer. Noticed a drop in electricity usage and they are far brighter than halogens. Light beam is a bit tighter but brightness makes up for it.

I tried out some of the Poundland GU10s (in both 3W and 5W flavours) recently and have found that they are perfectly good, to the extent that I've now started fitting these (also the SES candle bulbs and BC globes) everywhere instead of the packs I normally get from Screwfix (I'm an electrician). Obviously I can't vouch for the longevity yet (and will not be able to for a few years), but in every other respect they seem every bit as good as branded makes such as Phillips.
It almost goes without saying that users should convert from incandescent or halogen bulbs to LED wherever possible (and save 90% of their electricity bill on lighting), and now that perfectly good replacements exist in many sizes for only £1/unit there is no excuse whatsoever.
I'm going to have to vote cold on this, there is no point paying three times as much for a similar product.

I don't think I'll ever need those weirdy ones with the 2 pins sticking out the bottom but the normal bayonet ones are £8 and considering the 100W equivalent are £12 usually that's a pretty okay saving - though I do wish they'd come down more - this technology wasn't invented last year.

BC globe LED bulbs are £1 each in Poundland. They work just fine.

Don't suppose you have a pic of a box for the poundland LED bulbs that you use chap? We've got a few stores in Bristol and apart from the normal stuff like chocolate and can drinks they don't exactly sing from the same song sheet if you know what I mean lol!
