    12 in the kitchen, 10 in the utility room, 7 in the bathrooms.
    No dimmer, What are you doing to these bulbs ?

    When I first moved in I was expecting a regular bill for replacements and I was shocked how much they are.

    These bulbs are usually dirt cheap in Ikea. Can't remember the price but was impressed.

    Wonder if your bulbs were still 'D' usage on the rear of pack.We got some recently from the 99p stores and they seem to be fine.Unsure if they will work any cheaper or longer than the higher priced ones.You do have to check that they have the silver fully intact though.Interested to read that Poundland are doing two GU10.I thought they only had 12v low voltage available.

    Hmmm - I'm sure they were about £1.30 each when I bought my spares (that I've not needed and now am moving out)
    There are 10 types of people in the world, those that understand binary and those that don't

    In many cases it helps if you say where you are - someone with local knowledge might be able to give local specifics rather than general advice
