How many boards.ie users does it take to change a LED lightbulb?

    I was looking on Future LED's website at these MR16s, but I need 8 for the hallway and bathrooms where I rent (hopefully for the next 4 years or so), and they only have 4 available.

    This prompted me to look on Amazon, and made me consider the actual energy rating. There are A+++ 6 pack deals, like this but as I need 8 I would need to buy the pack twice.

    Is it worth the investment over the A+, and A++ which are more widely available on Amazon? Maybe you buy A+++ from another website at better value? Should I be considering anything else when selecting?

    In addition to these miniature G4s which I need for two under press lights, I was also going to order two GU4s for the cooker fan, but A+++ versions seem to be available mainly from eBay or Amazon Germany, and I would like to get everything together if possible.

    I am also trying to identify the bulb type in the pictures below, to see if there is an LED replacement?

    Euro Sales sell that bulb (had 2 in the last house), didn't find an LED equivalent at that time. Stillorgan decor used to do them as well, not sure if they still do.

    I've seen an LED version of that bulb in Mr Price. €9.99 I think.

    Looks like a standard 284mm shaver light bulb. Just Google an led version. Plenty of options.

    You could also pick up a complete bathroom light including the led bulb for about 25 euro.

    Iv bought loads of led spots from here. Usually if somebody want leds installed and they had spots with traffos I would change them over to gu10 fittings and do away with the traffos.
