    .................I've been after the small screw (SES) energy bulbs for a while, but have never been able to find anything cheaper than £3.50 each.....................

    i've had a similar problem, i'm now changing the fittings one by one (about 50p) as the bulbs expire from SES to ES which seem to be available in far more substantial numbers, and cheaper !

    Anyone got a cheap source for GU10 LED bulbs? (Other than Ebay) - I am looking for ones with 20Plus LEDs in each bulb.

    Try https://www.ultraleds.co.uk
    They're not really cheap though and watch out for the watts equivalents as they tend to be low output.

    R50 is a spot light with a reflector isn't it ?

    I presume the low energy in this format is a LED version .


    Yes they are a reflector type light bulb. If not will have to charge the light fitting i think long term.
