    I have to disagree.
    The shop is awful, their products are awful, those who shop there are awful.

    At least they're better than those awful mercury-laden fluorescent eco-bulbs.

    I actually find their products quite good.

    Each to their own.
    Most of the stuff stuff I've looked at has been cheaply made tat.
    Things may have changed though as I no longer go there.

    I fitted GU10 LED downlighters in my kitchen, 12 of them about 11 years ago now. Used them for about 2 days then replaced them for proper gu10 bulbs as the light/illumens from the LED ones was awful. I would urge everyone to Stick with the halogen ones if you want to be able to see past the age of forty two!!

    Why have lightbulbs got a Guildford postcode? We should be told.

    You will probably find them fine now compared to early versions. I am old and of fading eyesight and have no problems at all with modern LED bulbs.

    My current Halogen lamps are quite a yellowy light. The recommendations on-line seem to be to go for "Cool White" LEDs for kitchens which is a very white light.
    Is "Warm White" yellowy?

    The "Warm Whites" I bought for main lightbulbs are just right. Can't remember what the "k" number is. Bright, but with a slightly yellow tinge. I have bought cool white ones in past, and they were awful.

    PS The definition of "warm" seems to vary among manufacturers. Took me ages to find the right bulbs!

    I have warm white LEDs in my downlighters in the bus. They're 12v G4 bulbs, and they're nice and bright, and a familiar sort of slightly yellowy tinge, like old fashioned lightbulbs.

    Mostly. But there is the occasional good product there, buried amongst aisle after aisle of complete crap. You just have to have the patience to find it. And I do that on the web before I go so I don't spend too long there.
