There's a technical error on the pricing.

The 11th one down...'Kosnic Energy Saving LED Spot Light '

[SIZE=-1]I ordered a 4 pack last week (should be £32-20)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=-1]However when you go to the checkout it only charges you a quarter of that (ie. £7-62).[/SIZE]

So you are actually getting 4 of these for less than the price of 1 (which would be £8-95).

They last for 50,000 hours and use a tiny fraction of the energy of normal halogens. They're not as bright but the light is a lovely clear 'white' light rather than the usual yellowy light emitted by conventional bulbs, and I'm already used to the difference.

I thoroughly recommend them.

Yes, they definitely only debited my card with £7-62 for them.

And once you have them, they will last years (around the lifetime of 20-25 halogen bulbs, apparently. Which I can well believe as I was always replacing mine!)

good spot. Just fyi for anyone they are the blue'ish white light not warm white as normal bulbs and only about 10w. If your happy with that, good find.

yea a 4 pack of these at B&Q are only £8 anyway, Dont see the bargain, I also bought a set and yea they worked but its a pretty nasty brightness of light in your room, I have reverted back to normal GU10 spots.

Only use a fraction of the electricity and last for years and you don't "see the bargain"-strange!

Are you sure you are referring to LED bulbs in B&Q ? I've never seen them in my B&Q and I've asked and gotten blank looks in return.

I also never seen LED in B&Q and they are expensive for low energy bulbs. LED cost more but cheaper to run but apparently they aren't as bright as normal spotlights

I am hunting down some cheap megaman BC candle bulbs (5) 9w and 3 SES 9w bulbs as we speak

I think dvoodoo is refering to the standard halogen bulbs. I haven't seen led's in B&Q either. B&Q are usually expensive for any type of energy saving bulb anyway

Just found 'em at B&Q websit but they are £8.98 for 2

Just note that they say "Not suitable with dimmer switches" I almost got some till I noticed this.
