So muggins here tried to do his bit to save a bit of energy by fitting GU10 led bulbs at a fiver each.
Rated for 50,000 hours they are. So why have 2 out of 4 gone tits up inside a year from fitting?

Load of old bks I say.

Anyone else had similar?

Good old chinese quality control; you get what you pay for, and you have!
blimey, I bought the things on a 2 for 1 offer, normally they are a tenner each! the brand is Innovation, maybe I'll do a bit of research into them, see if they are noodle flavour!

Any advice for the replacements, brand wise?
