I've got 6 energy saving bulbs (B22 fitting, warm white, frosted ,about 4-5w needed) that need replacing (not dead but take forever to warm up).
My usual source (LEDhut) is out of stock so I'm looking for alternatives - any suggestions?

Ikea do them if you have one near.

Ikea - cheaper and better quality.

[s]Not going up there[/s] .... wait, I'm nearby tomorrow. Interesting.

Edit: for some unknown reason it seems they don't do ANY with a bayonet fitting!

Would make them too big (no shade involved)

TBH - I can't recall seeing a candle bulb with a bayonet fitting!
Whole point is they are a small slim bulb - bayonet defeats that.

My usual source (LEDhut)

I thought these were expensive compared to ebay - anyone / op can you comment on the quality / longevity?

Am I missing something?

Your usual source that you've linked to appears to be showing exactly what you want in stock.

Ahhh, they've been out of stock (and where when I started the thread) - job jobbed then 🙂

Kryton, I replaced >50 MR16 halogens with their 5w GU10 LEDs about 2 years ago and to date they've replaced the only two that went wrong without any quibbling (one flickered and the other buzzed when dimmed - both where faulty out of the box).
You may pay a little more but the LEDs seem very good, have good colour and they will take them back if you don't like them for any reason. Worth the extra in my books.
