So for the old BC light holders what are the best value that do not chuck

Poundland have a selection up to about 5.5W IIRC.
That seems to be the limit of what they can offer for a pound.

And as value goes, they're crap. I bought one, it lasted 1hr 40 minutes. It ran so hot one of the LEDs was burnt.

The problem is again that often price and quality don't equate. I'm
currently staying with friends in for a short time in a different part
of the country to where I live. The local supermarket(s) here are
selling a brand of LED bulbs at 4x the price I can find the same brand
at home from various "discount" stores.

I'm not sure why a LED bulb costing £1 should necessarily be inferior.
It must have reached the stage now that the manufacturing costs of LED
bulbs is starting to reach that of manufacturing costs of filament bulbs
and they used to be on sale at much less than £1.
