I have on several occasions bought items from Lyco in Milton Keynes and have found them to provide both good service and good quality lamps.
There are other suppliers.

I use LEDHUT. A while back I phoned to complain about some dimmable lamps I'd bought. I had three blow after about 6 months and they are supposed to last 50,000 hours. When I phoned they immediately apologized said no problem we'll send you a pack of the new ones. They had my details on the screen so I didn't even need order numbers or anything. The new ones arrived next day and they didn't want the old ones back. The old ones were ok but the new ones (Lumilife) are brilliant. They dim through the full range from just on to full brightness. And the light is indistinguishable from halogen.
Not necessarily online but Homebase had some 60w LED bulbs for £5 last weekend. Definitely recommended - much better than the energy saving junk that they've replaced. The brand name is TCP.
I've also found the Duracell range of LED bulbs to be very good - have replaced all of the GU10s in the kitchen with them.

I presume you mean "60W equivalent" !! I've been using TCP LEDs from Homebase for some time. I'm very happy with them and they quite often do good deals on the prices (in-store, less often on-line)>

Yes, yes. All this new terminology is alien at the moment! I wasn't aware they were a usual thing though - the markdown to £5 suggested they were clearing them out.
For quite some time, many/most of the Homebase LEDs (at least in my local store) have been TCP brand and, as I said, they quite frequently drop the prices. I've never bought any at 'full price'
Of course, things do change - so, for all I know, they might now be 'clearing them out'!Kind Regards, John
