    Someone left a note on a piece of cake in the fridge that said, "Do not eat!". I ate the cake and left a note saying, "Yuck, who the hell eats paper ?

    I normally associate Maplin with expensive - but they are doing x10 for £19.99 - good price and great if you can pick up in person!
    Just remember to not touch the bulbs with bare skin - grease causes hotspots, causes early blowouts.
    I did try low energy GU10s in my kitchen - the last one didn't even make it to 18 months old.
    Might give LEDs a try - last time I looked they were about £15 each, half that now.

    I've purchased my LED bulbs from www.agreensupply.com Just checked their website and found out that they've got GU10 bulbs too. Hope that helps.

    Re: Best place to buy GU10 bulbs...?

    I've tired LEDs and they don't see to brighten up the room to the extend of normal GU10's.

    I still use the basic cheapo GU10's which you can get 10 for around £5-7 on Amazon or auction sites. At that price it doesn't really matter if they go pop early.
