I tried them but did not find them suitable for the domestic environment.

The 'white' ones give a bluish light similar to moon light.
So if you prefer lighting to give a warm ambience these are not for you.

LED lights are very bright to look at but do not illuminate the scene at
all
well, possibly because the light is only at one very specific wavelength.

It's because there's so little light there. It's bright in the
very narrow beam, but that very narrow beam means there's very
little light there. You'll probably find they are 2W or 3W, and
the total light output is about what you'd expect from a 2W bulb.

To be fair, as there is little heat, what you would expect from a 2W CFL
rather than incandescent but still not much!

The efficiency of the cheap things you pick up in the likes
of B&Q will be nowhere near that of a CFL. They are about
the same as a filament lamp. There's little heat because
2W isn't much in the first place!
