Title says it all. This special buy is on pre-order for dispatch from 26 Feb. Works out at 90p/bulb which is a great price. Brightness is 360 Lumens.

Why not buy a pack and come back to us next year, and give us an update! How the heck would anyone know.

Yeah seems so :smile:
Anyway, my question is as follows:
Do these lights suck in darkness, like regular bulbs, thereby making the room brighter?

ive fitted many led bulbs for customers. These will be ok if you dont have a cover round bulb but if there is something surrounding bulb they may not have a long enough stem.

They actually arent that bad. The output and power draw is about equivalent to everything else on the market, can say reliability yet. Most important thing for me with led bulbs is actually the colour temperature as i dont like that stark white that most led gu10 replacements give, these are reasonably warm, id put them in second or third behind sylvanias refleds which I think are the best match for halogens but are more than 3 times the price. Dont like the plasticy diffuser on the front though but its a minor quibble.

Did not want to appear rude. But if you think about it, how could anyone make comment on 'quality'? This could only be answered by an electrical engineer who did some in depth analysis of the item.
LED bulbs are a relatively new item, so the research is a bit scant for us plebs who are new to them. I have been using them for just over a year. My experience is they are all okay, SO FAR.

It's not until you watch the impact of low power LED GU10s or MR16s in realtime on a smart meter that you realise how much financial sense it makes to replace all the old high use ones.

Pretty obvious that a 10 pack of 5W bulbs is "50W equivalent" :stuck_out_tongue:

each new LED bulb consumes five watts of electricity per hour but produces the same amount of light as a 50watt old-style filament bulb. it's just luck that they are 10 times more efficient, and there are 10 in the pack you are buying! or am I having a "whoosh" moment :-/
