I want to buy LED light bulbs for the front room

Can someone recommend where to buy from?

I'm looking at eBay and Amazon
Good or bad place to buy?

Thanks

I have just fitted these lamps to our wall lights - total 28w. Dimmed via the varilight vpro range of dimmers.

I did try some lower priced dimmables but they kept occasionally flickering.
I suppose in terms of LED's you tend to get what you pay for.

Problem is that I will have to wait for 34 years to verify that they do last as long as they say ;)
 
@riveralt, thanks for that
can u comment on the angle of the light?
i read on one listing details about the angle
a light bulb that gives light JUST in a straight narrow way is no good to me!
thanks

The angle of light issue primarily concerns GU10 type LED's - the best I have seen and used in jobs is 120 ° which is way beyond the standard GU10 beam angle of 30/50 °.

The lamps I bought are Golf Ball style so they disperse their light in a similar way to ordinary incandescent lamps.
