GU10 Energy Saving Light bulbs - Are these the cheapest?

Sybarite

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right section, but no doubt someone will move it if I'm wrong.

I have a flat that's entirely lit using halogen GU10 bulbs (x36 in total)

I'd like to switch over to energy saving bulbs as the conventional halogens drive me up the wall - they're expensive, hot, enviromentally unfriendly and I'm tired of having to change them all the time.

I prefer the 2.2w LED variety (the ones commonly used in cinemas) rather than the fluorescent tube variety, which I've tried, as some are too bulky to fit in the sockets.

The cheapest I've come across the LED variety (£8.95 each) is here;

Which looks like a reasonable reliable shop.

Does anyone know where I can obtain them more cheaply? To re-fit my flat will cost £322, which is a bit shocking.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Loads on e-bay. 10 here for £36 inc P&P:-

Price varies depending on no. of LEDs. Those above are 20 LED- similar to the greenshop ones, but you can get 38 LEDs.

Thanks for the replies and help.

I'm always slightly dubious about lightbulbs and ebay though as duff bulbs can always be blamed on postal breakages. I might be persuaded by positive feedback though.
