The shops seem to be full of LED lamps, all of a sudden.

Yes, they're expensive and they're months behind what's possible.

If you want the leading edge, easily, buy direct from China via eBay.
You won't see anything BC bayonet cap, but ES, SES & GU10 are now
cheap and good.. GU10s in particular are a very good replacement. I'm
using some with 60 domed LEDs for general downlighter use and 60
square surface-mounts for shop spotlighting. Having this many LEDs
means that there's no driver required, or making heat. The 108 LEDs
'corncobs' are a good replacement for GLS bulbs too. Good colours and
plenty bright. Prices are £3 - £5 and upwards

Do you have any specific recommendations for suppliers/models?

And what do they mean by "Pure white"? Am happy to assume that warm
white is around 2700 and cold white might be 6000-6500. Does that leave
pure white at 3500-4000? Or have I taken a step too far in my
assumptions/guesses?
