    Hi all,

    I've been looking for these bulbs for the kitchen but have had no luck. It's been 20 odd years since they were looked at so god knows if they are still sold.

    I've seen similar ones online but have no idea if they the ones I need. Was wondering if anyone knew of an online store that I could get them from? Pics attached.

    Thanks!

    Edit - Space in URL so I could post them

    Had to add a space to be able to post the links as i'm a new user. Remove the space between the h and the t at the beginning when pasting into address bar

    If they have two straight pins, and pull straight out, they are gu5.3 / mr16 I think.

    If they twist, then pull out, they are gu10.

    Google image search those two types and you'll see the difference.

    They look more like gu5.3 / mr16 by the shape of the base from what I can see.

    I'm not an electrician but was looking at similar recently.

    Cheers that was really helpful

    I found these

    Philips Brilliantline Alu 35W GU5.3 12V MR16 36D - 14716

    On anylamp.ie and I think they should be suitable

    I'd be getting LED versions if you're changing them. Amazon their own brand (amazon basics) which are meant to be good.
