# chompers, yes

# blackX5, easily, yes

I was so impressed by them that I am actually considering them to replace the 27 in my kitchen / diner. I hasten to add that I would be losing a few too. Think they were Starlight or something and came with a 3 year guarantee.

I go to ledhut for mine. Leccy bills sooo much lower. Combine that with the boiler I got last year which generates leccy and sells it back to the grid as part of its normal operating process and soon they will be paying me to light my home

Then got some 3x1W LED spots (approx £1.20 each).  Tighter beam, better light and have lasted well over 18 months so far...
Got 4 mounted above my cooker so have had a lot of heat cycling and still going strong.

Try simply led
GU10 LED NxtGen Series II Dimmable (22 piece SMD 5050, 430 Lumens, 50 watts equiv.)
Got them in my house
Excellent

Ordered a dozen of these yesterday for the rooms in the loft based on your recommendation.

Just installed them and I'm really pleased. Brightness is slightly better than the halogens they replaced and no issues with the spread of the light either.

If we ever get a warm evening again, I am looking forward to the spots not kicking out additional heat.

Not cheap but hopefully they will pay for themselves eventually!
