Re: Re: Aurora LEDZWORLD GU10 Dimmable LED - Best Price ?

[Peter + Jane <pandj.munnoch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dimmable Cree are seemingly the best but at a price.
I saw the Brightlitz 3w and 4w leds on eBay.
Bought 2 of their 4 x 1w GU10s. Checked them out.  Just ordered 20 more.
Seems a decent quality product. Hope they last.
Went through their website www.brightlitz.co.uk  Bit cheaper than eBay
Also got a good price for 20.
Note...they are not good at returning phone calls but do respond to email.
3 man company. The guy I spoke to was very helpful.
