My MR16 units are original.. I cannot get LEDs that are as bright as the Halogens.The max is 50W
It is far too involved and expensive to replace the units so a stock of obsolete bulbs will see my time out.

I am not rejecting LEDs where I can just swap them out. I can climb a step ladder and replace bulbs in enclosed units like the bathroom. Many folks cannot and need paid help.
The LED failure rate is bad in my household . Failures are occuring in two years or less

Nice words but not all folks have the means, ability or wish to keep replacing kit.
At present I can pay to replace stuff but it is just not sensible.
The time is fast approaching when I too will have to call in help to change bulbs.
It is fine for Boris and co to decree what will be scrapped but they have no idea the full impact
is on some of the folk at the bottom of the income scale and offer no assistance.
In theory I am facing a bill of many thousands of pounds to convert to a non gas boiler plus external insulation, under floor insulation etc.
I note that there is very little detailed info on this. Can I order a green cremation ( solar powered?)
