Want to replace 6, Looks like led's are the way to go but look expensive, can someone point me at some cheap ones, dont need 50w equivalent just bulds that will go in the fittings.

Led gu10 bulbs run between 3-8w, the low the wattage the worst the light. For reading you need 5w plus.

These lights are in the utility room, hall & landing.
Looks like Blackpool at the moment.

I bought some of these a few days ago (went into the shop, they are local)

They give a good coverage, and for £1 extra they do a dimmable version (I went for these). They are also pretty good value!

I bought some LED GU10's they protrude from the spot fitting, is this normal or because they were from Ebay?

most are larger and will only fit properly if the lampholder is floating rather than the fixed in the fitting type as the excess length will be lost in the void above.

led versions same size as standard GU10 lamps are available but generally more expensive

The higher power ones are longer than the standard halogen bulbs, I have 3watt ones, and they are the same length

These are only 4w

I use 5W LEDs which are the same size as 50W halogens. What brand were the lamps you bought?

But none of these are 5W or over.
