V cheap GU10s please?

Sybarite

I have to move out of my flat in a months time and need to replace the expensive low energy GU10s I've installed with the cheapest, nastiest GU10 halogen bulbs I can find.

As long as they work for 5 mins it's fine, ideally x10 for £10 would be great - I have to replace about 20.

TIA

The Poundland-type shops often have them and also Ikea if you're near one.

Thanks for the suggestions, £9 for 10 seems v reasonable & but we don't actually have a poundland type shop locally grrr. The cheaper the better.

My energy saving ones were about £10 each so they are definitely coming with me. I'm inclined to let the sh*ts at the lettings agency have to deal with the problem of replacing the cheap ones when they blow in a months time - i had to replace about 15 when i moved in.

Wouldn't like to be buying a house from you.

Doubt you could seeing as they are renting.

Would be inclined to do the same if I had put £200 worth of consumables into a rented flat and there was a cheaper alternative.

If you want a long term saving, you could consider using GU10 LED lamps. The consumed energy is FAR lower since LEDs are so efficient, also they last for years and years since there is no element to burn out....

If you intend using LED versions as main lighting you will be highly disappointed. The light they give out may be the equivalent of say a 20w halogen, but the angle of light is very concentrated. Think of it as a torch beam - you will have light spots on whatever the lamp is pointing at. They do not fill the room with light.

Try Lidl, Aldi or Netto - they often have them cheap.

90p each...plus £1.99 delivery.

£9 for 10 has been the cheapest so far, don't honestly think this can be bettered (albeit from Ebay not a 'real' shop).

Thanks for the postings, much appreciated. I'll continue my cheap skanky hunt, as I have a few weeks before moving out. Aiming for 10x bulbs for £5!
