Default LED lamps, source and value

I don't like halogen. gives me a headache even though I cannot see. I get
this spreading green yellow flashing haze when I go near Halogen lighting.
Goes to prove I guess that even blind eyes can give strange effects.

I bought a couple the other day from Tesco £7 each - and I like the

Not an expert, but the LEDs in my local Tesco seem to be a lot more
expensive than the local ASDA. And the ASDA ones I've bought dim with a
normal dimmer too. The Tesco ones I looked at say 'not dimmable'.

But I've not used LEDs anywhere they matter yet. Same as CFL. OK for just
providing light of a sort - but until they are as good as halogen I'll
stick to them.
