I have a fitting in my kitchen that at present uses 3 x 100W incandescent bulbs. The fittings are tiffany like and the light is warm and not white.
I am late to the party where halogen and LED are concerned and would like recommendations as to what I should buy.
I need Bayonet, 100W equivalent, non dimmable, warm not vivid white and don't cost an arm and a leg.
Any help appreciated.

You can always return them if they don't look right.0 -

Three 100W incandescent bulbs on one light fitting is not a light but a heater. You will certainly see your electricity bill reduce once you change to LED.
100W equivalent LED bulbs are hard to find as most are 40 and 60W. In any case unless your kitchen is massive, I would consider using three 60W bulbs and using a few under cupboard lights or table lamps if you notice it not as bright when you change.0 -

My mistake. The ceiling mounted tiffany shades each with 100W incandescent bulbs in a 20 x 12 room.
Thanks for the advice - all0 -
Also, Home Bargains and B&M usually have a good range of led bulbs in-store........Gettin' There, Wherever There is......
I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple0 -
If you have a look on Amazon they do Phillips bulbs in multi packs, I picked up a six pack of 100 watt equivalent bayonet fittings a few weeks back for ~£15 which isn't bad for quality bulbs.0
