    House lighting - LED recommendations

    Lads, fed up with the regular GU10's throughout the house. Want to upgrade the light output/colour and reduce the bill by investing in some GU 10 LED bulbs. Any recommendations on type? LED / SMD / COB?

    Also, any ebay links or other places online to place an order?

    I've installed my fair share of led gu10s (I'm a sparks).

    My experience has been that lads will be recommending this that and the other but no matter what they cost if the casing is made from plastic they won't last. They need a decent heat sync for longevity and the best ones will have a metal casing with fins which will act as that. If you buy in bulk there will nearly always be one or two duds no matter what make they are.

    Personally I would go to a wholesalers and look at the fittings before you buy them, you might be able to swing trade price for a bulk purchase.

    Pretty much was seano says. Try National Electrical Wholesalers in Rosemount Bus. Park, Kelliher's (Google), there is a place on Ballyboggin Road in Finglas also. Last time I got them they were around 6 euro each.

    Thanks lads, will ring around in the morning.

    Any push towards SMB type over traditional LED?

    As far as I know they are a good bit more expensive.
