Have been looking for energy saving bulbs to replace the halogen 50 watt GU10 bulbs we have in some rooms in our house. Seems difficult to find CFL alternatives that are like for like size to standard GU10's, as alot of them such as Megaman bulbs are slightly deeper in size, so would stick out in flush mounted fittings. I didn''t want LED's as the light off them is not the same brightness or colour as halogen or even CFL.
Eventually ordered 9watt (45w equviliant) GU10 CFL's which are the same size as standard GU10's off this website,

Cost was £93.98 for 20 bulbs with delivery charge to south of ireland of £4.80, which worked out at about €115. The larger the quantity the better the discount.
They bulbs have a claimed life span of aprox. 10,000 hours.
Would be interested if anyone know's of anywhere cheaper to get them.
