    Tried the led lights about 5 years ago, I have 14 spots in my house at 50w each so was desperate to try anything ,I found them terrible! like having a load of dim torches, took them all out and left the halogens in, a few months later tescos were doing a cfl bulb with a gu10 fitting 7w for €1.50 reduced from €9.50, I whipped up enough for my place and never looked back, one went on me last week though and had me thinking of led again have they come on or are they still a bit dim?

    5 Years time span in LED technology is like comparing a Amstrad 1512 to a latest model IPad.

    I got leds about 5 years ago - the lumen level was about 40-60lm for a 3 watt bulb, current new models will give 350lm for a 5watt. A 50watt halogen gives about 350lm-400lm.

    Phillips have managed to get over 1000 lumen from one watt in their latest lab products - so in a another 5 years, expect most lighting products to be 1 to 5 watt maximum, even current floodlights.

    In one report I read, they suggested that based on technology currently being developed that within 10 years Wembly stadium would need less than 2000 watts of power to be floodlit! (thats the power of a single standard hairdryer)
