LED Filament Bulbs - are they worth considering?

jamesperrett

For the last 8-9 years I've been buying Meridian LED bulbs from Toolstation including GU10's, candle bulbs and a few of their 5W and 8W filament bulbs. In that time I've only had one failure which was a 5W filament candle bulb. Otherwise they've been very good. Before that I bought some cheap Chinese 3 LED GU10's which had something like an 80% failure rate within the first two years.

This may help for comparison purposes, traditional incandescents were around 2400K but other versions were available...
