Looking to buy 15 LED Candle Bulbs, E14 warm white for 3 new lounge lights.

Looking at ebay I've heard all about the cheap Chinese versions not lasting too long.

However, come across these London based bulbs and not sure if they are any good. They come with a 1 year warranty.

Ikea do their own version:-

The BandQ site is down at the moment but they were doing Diall 4 x candle bulbs for £17.

Are any of the above any good or can anyone recommend some other well priced bulbs which are going to last? Buying 15 in one go is not going to be cheap.
I'm a bit concerned that buying cheaper bulbs at around the £2.00 mark means that I've got no chance of a replacement if any break.
 
Caveat emptor. At least with ikea / b&q etc lamps you can easily take them back if they're rubbish or fail within the guarantee period.
 
I got mine from Lidi when they were on offer. First pair with 1.8W second lot looked the same but were 3W think I paid around £6 for a pair but it was some time back. My wife seems to think they are slightly dimmer now, I have not noticed any change. Had them around 1 year now.

:lol:

I've had good results from B&Q GU10s. Just B&Q branded at the time, they may have other brands available now.
