You can't have been looking hard mate.
They are on sale at every major retailer right now.
I managed QuidCo cashback aswell as the QuidCo bonus on these.

3 for the price of 2 deals on at the moment and also 20/25% off

You can get 3 packs of the GU10s (6 bulbs) for £87 and then QuidCo cashback on top which knocks off another few quids.

Searched and cant find them anywhere for anywhere near that price.

The Sony MDR1000s are down to 199. They’re the Sony equivalent of the Bose QC35s. I’m really hoping the boss come down to 200. Not convinced the Sony’s are as comfortable.

I’ve got the MK2 of these Sony headphones. I own QC35’s as well but the Sony headphones blow the Bose away in terms of sound quality and noise cancelling performance

They are both as comfortable I find, but I tend to get less moisture (sounds nicer than sweat :p) on the Bose after a few hours use

How big are your ears? I found the Bose to be quite comfortable but I hear the Sony’s press against your ears more... tbh I don’t think you can walk far with those sorts of headphones without getting moisture. I probably need to hit the gym!

Also I returned my qc35s because the Bluetooth kept dropping when walking. Sent me loopy!!!
 
RE bulbs. I checked my current GU10s and they are rated at 50W. However all of these smart bulbs you lot are talking about are 5-12W. Would I not be sacrificing some serious brightness if I got some smart bulbs?
 
LEDs are much lower wattage than Halogen, you should be fine, just check the lumen output.

The quicker you switch to LED, the better as there are huge energy cost savings, although will be a much longer payback period if it's smart lamps you install rather than standard.

The only problem you may have is some old transformers may not work with very low wattage and may need replacing. From experience spot LEDs over 8W tend to be as good at the 50 W halogens, though this does vary a bit.
 
You've lost me :o (growing up with my mum - neither of us know **** about DIY :p:o). My rented apartment had a huge renovation a few years back and is very modern so hoping they aren't too old.

I will take the fact that our landlords went crazy with lights (there must be almost 50 throughout) as a good sign.

Ears are pretty normal, not small and not big :p but I find they fit comfortably in both of the sets cups. I find the Sony's ever so slightly softer but as I said in my previous post, I think it must be a less breathable material inside as it gets quite moist after a while

EDIT - Regarding the Hue GU10's, they are plenty bright enough for me. But then I hate overly bright main lighting, I rarely have them at full brightness. But on the odd occasion I do, it's often enough to make me want to turn it down :p

Oh no sorry you will be ok as GU10 doesn't use a transformer, my bad. :D
 
Just been in to Sports Direct to see if a pair of shoes I was after were on sale. Same price, but previous price raised to offset the 30% “discount”. What a croc. No, they weren’t Crocs. :)

Am I looking in the wrong places? On the Amazon they don't seem that much cheaper? 2 pack of white are £20 compared to Hue at £25?

Not sure about UK, but here most varieties are substantially cheaper.

E27 full colour are 35 EUR vs 50 GBP.

GU10 temperature adjustable white are 90 EUR for 4 vs 55 GBP for 2.

E27 temperature adjustable white are 25 EUR vs 32GBP.

The only ones that are similar in price are the bottom end fixed temperature white E27s.

You'll be turning them off altogether once that sofa arrives.
