I need 11 and would like to know if it's worth splashing out for them.

Just rang Asda at Melksham & Cribbs and they said they don't have any in stock so saved me a trip. I'll just have to keep looking.

Replaced 6 LED bulbs in my barthroom. Looking to replace several other lamps in the house, E14s and an E27.
I have a 5 lamp ceiling rose that needs 5 LEDs. Looking at getting 5 Low watt LEDs for it. E14 fit. Non Dim would be fine.
Also looking for 2 x 27 LEDs dimmable.
Any help would be great

I did the same today and took the plunge, replacing all the bulbs in the house.
I've gone for-
http://www.ledhut.co.uk/gu10-smd-led-220-lumens-45-watts-equiv-best-internet-price.html x7 in cool white for the Kitchen spot lights
http://www.ledhut.co.uk/4-watt-e14-led-candle-shape-bulb.htmll x2 in clear coating, cool white for the cooker hood
http://www.ledhut.co.uk/7-watt-e27-high-output-standard-shape-led-bulb.html x4 in Warm White. 2 for the conservatory, and 1 for each of the bathrooms
http://www.ledhut.co.uk/7-watt-b22-high-output-standard-shape-led-bulb.html x4, 1 for the lounge, 1 for each of the bedrooms, and 1 for the hallway.
I'd done a fair amount of reading, and I'm happy with what I've gone for. The total wattage comparison is a huge difference.
Kitchen
7x50w Halogen
2x40w Bulb
Conservatory
2x60w Bulb
Bathrooms (x2)
2x60w Bulb
Hall
1x100w Bulb
Bedrooms and Lounge
3x60w Bulbs
So yes, not a single energy saving bulb before. Total comparative difference is 950w vs 84w total if my maths is right, which is obviously a huge difference.
Will be interesting to see how we get on with them.

Conanius, I will be interested to know how you get on with the 7-watt-b22 lamps.
Soldato
If you use the LED hut make sure you use Topcashback!!! I bought £70 worth of bulbs a few months ago (after the discount codes were used that they always have on) and got £9 iirc back.

Just ordered 1 of these to make sure it'll be fine for the kitchen before getting some more:-

We've 10 lights in the kitchen taking 50w each so hopefully this will bring the leccy bill down a touch.

Be interested on the B22 bulbs! I see they do a 10W dimmable one!
Soldato
I'm hoping the same too, a few rooms with 3-4 halogens in each and suddently you;re at 500w+!
To those that have asked about the b22 7w, I'll sort pictures when it arrives
We have 3x50 B22 bulbs in our lounge, and the kids have 2 more too! So I'd be interested in dimmable LED B22 bulbs! But do you need a new dimmer too like regular LEDs?
Soldato
LED bulbs need an LED dimmer switch.
Soldato
No, you can get dimmable & non dimmable led lamps, but with the dimmable version, you don't have to use a dimmer.

Correct but if you want to use a Dimmable LED you have to have a compatible dimmer switch.
