Great price if you only need 2. Maplin 3 for 2 deal works slightly better if you need more than 2.

Just to be accurate, not if you need more than 2 BULBS ... The singles are 14.99 at Maplin so that's 3 for £30. It would only be cheaper if you need a multiple of 6 bulbs, ie 3 twin packs, at 6 for £50.

To be more accurate, it'll be cheaper if and only if buying multiples of 3 that are not multiples of 2 (like 9, 15 but not cheaper for 6 or 12)

How come not cheaper for 6? 6 at Maplin is less than 50 and it's 56.22 on Amazon.

Now I'm confused :smile: These are twin packs. Maplin is cheaper for any multiple of 6 bulbs. 6 for £50...
1 bulb: 14.99 either Amazon or Maplin 2 bulbs: cheaper at Amazon 3 bulbs: cheaper at Maplin (£30) 4 bulbs: cheaper at Amazon 5 bulbs cheaper to get 6 6 bulbs: cheaper at Maplin (£50) 7 bulbs: cheaper at Maplin 8 bulbs: cheaper at Amazon slightly 9 bulbs: cheaper at Amazon slightly etc

Yes but: a) i was making it clear(er) you meant more than 2 packs not more than 2 bulbs. Admittedly not clear enough! b) 4 packs is also "more than 3", and maplin is not cheaper in that and other similar cases

Maplin is rarely cheap lol I'm quite surprised they they did such a good deal. Ordered 6 bulbs just because of that lol Would make it clearer but I'm at work on my mobile and can barely see what I'm typing lol

Don't worry, no criticism intended at all, just trying to help.
I partook in the Maplin deal myself, a rarity indeed. Annoyingly they now have the colour E14 twin packs available to order again, I ordered the singles. But getting off topic now... sorry OP!
