Hi,
Had anyone tried the ultraled mr16 LED bulbs?
(http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/4x1w-leds-warm-white-lumen-mr16-5w40w-p-2293.html)
Looking for some reasonable 35-40w halogen equivalent 12v bulbs for ones that have blown in my kitchen.

Thanks

    I bought some TLC led GU10's recently and am reasonably happy with their performance although they're not cheap. Their performance is pretty close to a halogen GU10 240v bulb.

    They don't look too bad.

    Avoid the cheap ones like the plague they just aren't worth it for general lighting, maybe feature/cabinet lighting.

    If you search these threads you will find loads of advice.

    Maybe just get one and try it to start with, see what you think.
