I think these are crap tbh

I thought they were the most decent halogen lamps them BELL lamps????

Ive never had a halogen lamp of this style that i can call decent

Can you get coated/opal filament LED candle lamps or do they only come in bloody clear?!

Yes you can !

Found some on ebay 5W ones for BC sockets!! Gonna chat to my parents to see if they want them or I switch back to 40W incandescent?! If its the latter then I gotta get the BELL triple life 40W candles

These things last you 8 months at best in a reguarly used fitting. Not an issue with B22 fittings as I have loads of 100w's stockpiled but the front room light at my parents house is a 3x e14 and they go through bulbs like toffees! Would love to get some 20w CFL's for that fitting.
