Put anything here that's badly designed/made, failed, catastrophically exploded or just an epic fail in a general sort of way.

They had them on the outside of the Premier Inn I stayed at in Quintrell Downs last April. They looked to be in fairly decent shape.

The only L.E.Ds I saw in the whole place were GU10s in the dining room. They hadn't caught the plague then.

I don't mind LED GU10 replacements, cos lets face it, GU10 halogens are just shit. The one use that LED's do actually have in everyday lighting!
