Bought them from the big chain...Home Bargain.
Are they not all made in a big factory in China?

Hi guys...bought so E14 5w 470lm candle type bulbs today to replace some that were loosing the brightness.
I was quite surprised to find the plastic base gets quite hot cant keep your fingers on them...the glass part is not overlay hot.
And for some reason after fitting they need a further 1/2...
Hi guys...I'm not a spark but can I ask your advice.
We have 6 GU10 halogens in our kitchen...they use a lot of electricity and I would like to replace them with LEDs.
I tried this maybe 18months ago...and the result was disappointing...the bulbs where quite dim...but where supposed to be...
One more question I hope guys.
I have seen GU10 LED 5w 48smd which I think mean it has 48 light segments...I have also seen 6w GU10 LED 60SMD with 60 lighting segments..see links.
Is it just that the one with 60 segment is slightly brighter or is there more to it.
5W 48 SMD GU10 LED Bulbs...
So what is the difference between these two...one with many light emiters one with not many.

Ok bought and fitted as a test our first batch of 5 candle type led bulbs....very pleased with them,
I now need 14 GU10 spots...the one I have at the moment are 50w halogen...Am I correct in thinking 4w in LED is the same as out old 50w,
Also I dont know which type of GU10 bulb to order...I...
All becoming clear now....thanks so much guys really appreciated,
Made my mind up...going for all LED after xmas....as they say...seems a no brainer,
Thats 15 candle type and 8 GU10 spots.
even ignoring the high start current
Does that just apply to fluorescents or LEDs as well...if thats the case are they best left switched on rather than on just to find a book for instance?
I will have another look at the led hut...
With the compact fluorescent type am I correct in thinking that most of the energy used is in the inital startup/switch on and that switching on off is wasteful.
Sorry I worded my last question badly...I should have said....will the non LED energy saving bulbs help cure my fuse blowing prob as good as the LED type bulbs.

No not on dimmers,
I can see low energy screw ins on ebay but no screw in LEDs...these would fit my living room,
I can see LED to replace the halogen spots...that I have in my kitchen,
If I went with both of these types would that be a benefit me then.
Nick.
Thank you.
Hi guys my first post....we have in our living room a ceiling light filament with 5x60 watt candle type bulbs....the type with a wire filament,
My prob is these bulbs are quite cheap at ASDA £1.50 for 4 but when one blows it also blows my fuse...we have old style wire fuses...5amp,
We also...
