I'd like to replace all the lamps/bulb in house with LED ones (mains

I bought a couple the other day from Tesco £7 each - and I like the
colour - and the power saving :-) Is that price a reasonable one for
8W LED lamp?

Way too expensive. Philips branded bulbs can easily be obtained for half
that price

Places such as Screwfix have their own brand for around £10 for 5 (9W)



Seen a few comments saying Lidl/Aldi LED
lamps are good value and quality.Thanks for any info on this.

Often Philips brand but only re-stocked twice a year and when they are
gone they are gone.


OT: Afaik the LED lamps really are LED arrays - so I guess there is
some arsenic toxicity risk in disposal? (Minute amounts). And CFL's
have Hg. Just mention this because Sains.s lamp recycling bin is
always crammed full of CFL's - many are smashed!


Don't most people dispose of these type of bulb in the household rubbish
along with their used batteries?

And your point is, caller?
