The reduction in cost of LED lighting is surprising. An item of anecdata from my experience.

My house is somebody else's self-build - a nearly finished "reduce a bungalow to trhee walls and a hole in the ground, and rebuild as a house with 150% extra space" done in 2008-2012 to rather better than building regs, but not near-passive, standard. It was 2013 and they ran out of getting their money back so left some things undone.

He had a bit of an obsession with ceiling spots, and when we moved in there were 19 in the kitchen, and a total of 63 50W halogen GU10s in the house. I replaced them all with the new £4 Ikea ones as the first thing I did - ie the cost was about £250. It paid for itself in about 2 years.

Now 12 years later, most of my Ikea LED GU10 lights have yellowed, and maybe a dozen have gone pop, so I am replacing all the rest.

The "Trade Rated" pack of 50 in the LAP brand I picked up from Screwfix (949YY) yesterday came in at £32.

How things change. Time will tell if I bought a pup.

Very cheap. Well spotted.

Though 345 lumen is a bit tight on light output.

For all the progress, I have yet to find the perfect GU10 - 800 lumen+, dimmable, 60deg, CCT remotely controllable, CRI>90.

I wonder where we would be had they not banned people from using the old ones.
