Hi
Just wondering if any of you have had overheating issues with particular LED lamps being used for halogen GU10 replacements. So far I've been using LEDlite and had no problems but hearing more and more heat issues with quite a few manufacturers, even the high end ones.
If you are having heat issues what are you doing to try and rectify?

Cheers

They were the 6w not smd, I had the ones with 3 or 4 LEDs on them, watch the colour too, first ones I got where cool white and they were almost blue.
go for warm white and they'll be a whiter colour.

Failure wise, they just flashed so I knew straight away they were faulty.
 
There's a lot of cheapies on there, got to say I'm always a bit wary of getting materials from ebay though. I'd be interested to hear how many you have to send back under warranty over the next year.
