    I live in a rented apartment with about 30 GU10 bulbs in it.
    Could anyone recommend a place to get these cheap? I don't think I quite want to spend the money changing them to LEDs as I don't know how long I'm going to stay here.

    Find someone who is changing to LEDs and throwing out their bulbs.

    OP...if you post this thread and ask in the electrical section,then hopefully someone (many sparks over there) will sort you out with some used GU10s for free...

    Cheers guys!

    Would love to upgrade to LEDs so I don't need to change the bulbs every few weeks, but can't justify the price especially as I don't own the place! I've seen some in Dealz that might be worth getting though

    Swap to LED, but keep the ones you have.
    Then if/when you move out, swap them out again and bring your LEDs with you.

    Yes, but there's no guarantee that the next place I live in will have LEDs. Replacing all 30 lights looks like it will cost me in the region of €150, unless good LEDs can be had for less than €5 each?
