so the LED downlight will take up slightly more space in landfill than a GU10, but they last so much longer so there will probably be a lot less of them.

Other than for the fact you wont be throwing away 1 integrated unit when one fails but potentially a dozen or more if the manufacturer has ceased making that model.

GU10 bulb blows... £1 or less to replace it
Integrated unit - £150 or more to replace as you've got to replace the other 9 

come off it, if you're throwing away 9 perfectly good working downlights just because they don't match the replacement 100%? I think you're part of the problem about waste if thats your attitude!
you can always find a replacement that close enough in my opinion
I'd like to see the specs of these £1 bulbs too please, that will be good for a laugh

Use the H2 Lites all the time. Only ever had one failure. And even then it was a few seconds to replace it with the male and female connectors.

I've had 3 duds in 6 years, and all 3 were just half as bright straight out of the box. as far as I know, none of the others have failed and there must have been 6-800 installed at least in that time.

A decent lamp can be around the £6 mark. Certainly not a pound.

Philips LED Light Bulb 6 Pack [GU10 Spot] 4.6 W - 50 W Equivalent, 2700K, Non Dimmable - £9.99 @ Amazon

Yes, certainly not a pound. And certainly not £6.
