I have used LEDhut previously although most of the house now has Aurora M10 LED down-lighters. Wouldn't want to add it up at £27 per light. | |

quote: How much did it cost to put the panels in? I've avoided LEDs still down to cost. Had an expensive branded one fail on me which meant the break even point was in 7/8/9+ years and I hope not give here in 5 so not worth doing | |

Last year I swapped 11 ceiling lights in an office for led panels and the guy saved £360 on his electric bill over the year. | |

I turn the lights off when i'm at home anyway. The gas bulbs in work are ridiculously bright so it's nice to get home and give my eyes a rest. | |

I think we're just accustomed to the warm light because its what we've been used to for years in the home.. The cool light always makes me think of work or being in a shop, not very homely. | |

I wasn't keen on cool white at first but now we have them in our living room and landing/stairwell, I wouldn't change to warm white. Also, I think kitchen area's need cool white. | |

All mine are from IKEA- they apparently review quite well, I think they're pretty good too. I found the older style LED GU10s to offer very little ambient and be too blue, but these ones are like halogens but they don't get burning hot :) | |

Have a look on eBay for some wide angle LED GU10. I think you will find osram bulbs for a few quid a pop. Usually good quality osram too | |

I have a combination of minisun cool white (£5 per bulb) and osram warm white bulbs (teaco had these on offer for £6 each) in every room except the bathroom. Very happy with them. | |

I've learned that if you are tight when it comes to buying 240v LED bulbs your house ends up looking like the toilet in a rough pub, you know when they put in the UV lights to deter the coke fiends :D | |

LEDhut.com - their Lumilife ones are decent, make sure you buy them in warm white if you want a softer light | |

So we have 2 x light units in the kitchen, each with 4 x GU10 bulbs. |
