    They wont be exactly cheap particularly the LED variety. You could call into lighting world I think its called beside the brazen head in christ church. They stock every type of lighting. You could also try an electrical wholesalers.

    if you can afford it go for the gu-10 type fittings. using these means you can replace a bub or change to a differant colour without having to change the whole fitting. you could also use enegy saving gu-10 cfl bulbs that will save you a few quid in the long run.
    if near the finglas area i could post 2 good electrical wholesalers

    I purchased mine in Atlantic Homecare, slightly different to the ones you are looking for though.

    Any Electrical Wholesaler will have catalogues for you to choose form.

    Just be careful if you end up going for the GU10 240v compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs) as they are usually longer than a standard GU10 halogen bulb so don't fit all lamp holders - the LED GU10 bulbs are usually compatible, but check.

    You could also try www.loweleds.com - I'm just about to place an order with them and I've found them helpful so far. No connection with them.

    the 11 watt are longer then the 7 watt so if getting them go for the 7 watt they will fit most lamps

    IMO using GU-10 CFLs as decking lights is a complete waste of energy and money. OP would be better to go for a GU 10 LED, brightness more than adequate and with a cost of < € 10/light for 40,000 hrs is a no brainer. The fittings (look for 'Eterna') brand are cheap and cheerful cost about € 20.00 and come with 1 m of flex and Connector Box. Very easy to instal, you will also require a hole saw. The GU 10 LEDS are available in a range of colours. You'll get them in all good electrical stores try TR Reilly's (Coolock) or Medlock on Richmond Road, Fairview/Drumcondra.
