Yebbut how can a hapless (or is it hopeless) consumer get an idea of the
quality of the emitted light before spending £lots?

In the big red sheds they often have many of them turned on. Not a
perfect way, but worth looking at.

Maybe buy one at a ime, each time a different brand. Yes you spend £50
before filing the lights with decent bulbs, but a set of CFLs will save
you that much, so it ends up costing nothing really.

Good idea, but I'm almost housebound due to MS and do most of my
shopping online, so it's not really practical.

I dont see how it doesnt make any difference. You go to a supplier like
toolstation or screwfix (scr bulbs mostly good, ts mostly bad) and buy
one each of various bulbs. Any excuse eh.
