    I'm looking to get at least 20 or 30 warm white GU10 light bulbs for my house.

    I don't mind buying in bulk of 50 or more if it means that the unit price per bulb is chep. So if you know of individually priced or bulk bargains, please let me know.

    They MUST be warm white LED, not cool light.

    Thanks

    Edit. Forgot to add they should give out light equivalent to 50 watt halogen.

    Thanks for that! Do these bulbs fit into a standard recessed light fitting? I know some GU10 LEDs don't...

    Looks good. Are these complete and ready to fit? Would I need a transformer and would they be suitable for a bathroom?
    Sorry for the questions but I'm a bit confused with all the options out there for LED.

    This is a whole new area for me, LED bulbs

    For what it is worth I got 10 LED bulbs for external post lights in B& Q recently. They are pure white in colour and are very effective at lighting up the garden

    They have a massive range there and they don't cost the earth.

    If this helps.

    Basically LED light is measured on the Kelvin Scale so your different xK measures to natural light and is giving a reading say 3000K, then you add into that your LED watts say 5watts per LED light then match that up to your old style light/fitting so Bayonett Style say 60watts.

    EG, 60watts Bayonett = 3000K LED Bayonett 3watts.

    Well I picked up the last 2 sets in mentioned previously in Lidl today.
    Basically you get 3 gu10 bulbs and the casings. Included in the box is 3 adaptors that sit on top of the bulbs and are wired into existing wiring, no transformer(driver) needed.
    These are not suitable for bathrooms or any high humidity area.
    I can't seem to upload pictures from mobile so I'll try get some up from the laptop tomorrow. I'm a little less confused now I've seen them out of the box.
