I just picked up one of LiDL's current offer LED under-cabinet lights for
£10: got the 7W output one, and it's brilliantly bright and very light
(weight). Haven't found a use for it yet but it may find its way onto the
van as a work light, as an alternative to the rather bulky 2D tasklight
(with some hooks, magnets and/or velcro straps attached to hold it onto
things).

Recommended.

(Also got an LED GLS replacement from Clas Olson recently, also a tenner,
also 7W, branded "V-LIGHT", also excellent: was going to try it in the
PIR-switched outside light but no good because it flickers, but excellent
replacing a 20W CF in our landing light. Now all I need are some decent,
reasonably priced GU10 replacements - any recommendations?)

I picked up a couple of good LED lamps from Clas Olson many months back.
Must pop in and see what they have now.

As for GU10 replacements - depends what you're expecting.
If your fittings can take over-long GU10's (floating lampholder),
then you have more options for higher light output, as those LED
lamps have to be bigger than real GU10s in order to dissipate
enough heat whilst staying within temperature range.
Also bare in mind that the LED ones tend to have more accurate
beam cut-off, and in many badly designed GU10 installations, you
are actually relying on the light spill outside of the main beam
for general lighting, which will be missing in the LED versions.

In some cases, replacing the GU10 holder with a dedicate LED
light will be better, as the GU10 format lamp (bulb) is
particularly bad as a format for retrofit LEDs.
