so trying to find a set of led lights for our front room, I bought some that are warm white (2700k) - admittedly these ones are homebase specials, but the wife is still complaining that they're too cold in comparison to the old halogen ones.
Any suggestions on a set of bulbs? its hard to tell from pictures on the net which ones will be warm.

Just ordered these in warm white dimmable: http://www.ledhut.co.uk/spot-lights/gu10-led-bulbs/new-5-watt-gu10-led-bulb-wide-beam-angle.html
To replace these in cool white: http://www.ledhut.co.uk/spot-lights...umens-45-watts-equiv-best-internet-price.html
The lighting from them is absolutely terrible and I've gone off cool white.

Not sure why you would order cool white in anything apart from garages, utility rooms etc?

I just bought this, it's surprisingly very small compared to what the photo suggests. It has a low dim mode at night time, and a very (I was surprised) main beam light when motion is detected.
However, mine's now dead. The flue for the boiler is right next to the front door, so the main beam was activated all night. So battery is dead!

Very similar output and colour to the 50w halogens they replaced. Definitely 2700k, maybe even lower.

LED huts prices have gone up massively. I bought about 20 of these a few months back and they were £5 somthing. Now £7.17! http://www.ledhut.co.uk/spot-lights/gu10-led-bulbs/new-4-5-watt-gu10-led-350-lumens.html
Im need a pack of 4 and so far these have been great. Can anyone recommend alternatives? in warm white.

Ive been using the Screwfix LAP LED GU10's http://www.screwfix.com/p/lap-gu10-led-lamp-346lm-cd-5w-pack-of-5/3797g
Very bright, and a warm white. They dont dim aswell at the low level, but that could be my cheap Varilight dimmer. I think its a great price @ 5 for £20.

I have been pleased with Philips LED bulbs, B22 and Hue and have a few Ikea LED in lamps that seem fine.
Where i do not want to use Hue i am looking to replace what older energy bulbs we have so wondered what i should be looking at?
The only issue i have with Philips on the std LED bulbs is the beam angle - loads of light underneath but does not spread swell as older energy bulbs.
