do led bulbs work in normal light sockets?

You've not breached anything. You're not touting for business for yourself or anyone else nor advertising.

I've got Aurora downlighters puirchased from electrical distributors (for best price). Phoned Aurora technical today for advise - can fit led's straight into them no problems, except the cost....cough cough....all well & good the bulbs lasting 10 years, but surely the light fittings wont even last that long....oh well...

I suppose begrudgingly I'll get the money back by not running 20 Halogens which is what I'm doing at the moment. Nights drawing in, so need to change to led a bit sharpish

I have Halers evoLEDs in the kitchen part of a large-ish kitchen diner.

I like these lights colour wise (they are 4000K colour temperature if memory serves).

I'm after some GU10 LED lights to go into a new ceiling fitting in the diner part. Will 3000K bulbs feel too warm compared to the Halers ?

It's difficult to know without trying.

I know people have different preferences for warm vs cool, but what experiences have you had with colour temps?

Thanks for that. I hate spam with a passion, but looking through your posts, you are only promoting customer technical awareness, and I am happy with that. Welcome to the forums.

No you don't. He's just being silly because someone has posted with more knowledge on the subject than him.

Maybe she has maybe she hasn't just making sure she doesn't get hit on, by those that think they do, as a newbie.;)

When I was looking at the same question a while back there was many heated exchanges on t'subject.

and the beam width is limited

If you want a broader beam, and the running temperature is low, then you could stick on some clear frosted plastic film aka sticky back plastic. I use that on my LED torches to broaden the beam. You can buy it on ebay and at other good outlets. It absorbs very little light.
