Visiting TLC today, I was told they are running down all stocks of halogen
GU10. Including the so called Eco versions. So soon will only stock LED.


I don't think they can blame the EU for that (the sept 2018 ban doesn't
apply to halogen spots) so it must be that people are mainly buying LEDs
anyway, no problem with that, I'm sure specialists will sell halogens
for years to come ...


Manufacture of GU10 halogens all ceased for the original 2016 ban.
Although sale of them is still allowed, no orders for replacement
stock from manufacturers has been possible since 2016.

There is still stock around, but generally of lower quality products.
