Sorry to start a new thread on old territory, but I wondered if anyone
has any newer experiences of this technology. 18 months ago I tried a
couple of bayonet & GU10 replacement bulbs utilising LED technology.
While they work the light levels are very low and harsh in quality. So
the white , even the 'warm' white, appears to be closer to the UV end
of the spectrum, not unlike a flourescent tube.

I really want this technology to work as I have a large number of GU10
lamps in my house which use too much electricty and seem to need
continuous replacement. My hope is that, like the early low energy
bulbs which were niether bright enough or warm in colour, LED
technology will improve.

These bulbs are not cheap. I have seen some newer types quoted as using
multiple 1w LED's with 'warm' light spectrum and 30K hours for £20 a
go. If they work and the light is good, it may well be worth
considering, but I wondered if anyone has any recent experiences of
this evolving technology.

many thanks
