Does anybody know the difference between the warm white and cool white megaman 11w CFL GU10 lamps (non dimmable) ? http://megamanuk.com/products/product.php?sid=2
I want to replace 6 GU10 halogens in my kitchen with CFL's and am unsure what colour temperature I should be going for. Any info or experiences with these lamps would be very helpful. thanks. B

This picture gives you an idea. The warm white is what most people use, they are a closer match to normal halogens. Cool white are more used for modern/commercial designs, but its all personal taste.

as above most ppl go for warm white as its similar to the colour given by incandesent. i prefere cool white, looks a bit more modern and gives better colour rendering

Does anybody know where to buy Megaman GU10 bulbs in Dublin or on the internet as cheap as possible. Have looked at ebay.ie but no real success.

eci lighting in north park ind est in finglas are a main megaman agent. we buy all our dimmable cfl stuff from them.
northpark is the ind est behind denis mahonys just before the m50

The 11W Megamans are available from Ebay UK for around £6 each plus shipping which runs (for a single bulb) about £1.50, they're 14 Euro each in B&Q IIRC.
I've bought a number of the 3000k ones and I like the light temperature from them, they're a little whiter than normal halogens to my eyes but I actually prefer it now, halogens look very yellow in comparison.
