These are the 1 Watty ones.. They are not a direct replacemetn fro 20watt Gu10's but not far off.

If you have a bathroom with a few then you'd be OK but don't think they are going to light a hall like standard ones.

I upgraded from 1 Watt ones to 2 Wat ones from bB&Q (4 for £12 at the time) and they are great.. Slightly cold (blue) but great.

Should be ok I reckon not really sure but I bought the blue ones for a fancy effect in my bathroom & when I switched them on it got darker

Not really bright enough for lighting a room. They hint as much in the listing.

Your main lighting will be 35-50W bulbs, these are equivalent to 20 (if they are being 100% honest).

I've looked around on ebay and can't seem to get an honest opinion on the light output from any listings. I'm buying some from a local supplier and paying a fair bit more (like 12 notes a lamp) but if the output is rubbish, I have somewhere to go back to, and the samples looked pretty good.
