B&Q  bargain bin 'haul' lol. CFL, LED & 8w T5

Went to raid the bargain bin again recently & picked this lot up:

15W B22 CFL x4, £2. 2700k, made in China, they do preheat the cathodes which is nice. Not a lot of space for the electronics in the base.

23w E27 Diall CFL x4, £2. 2700k. I had two of these in use in flood lights on my house, one died after approximately 7,000 hours, the other is still going strong.

Philips dimmable 9w Warm Glow E27 LED lamp. Changes between 2200-2700k when dimming. Always liked the sound of these but they were very expensive last time I looked. Picked this one up for £2!

GE Polylux T5 8w 827 tubes. Made in China. Pretty crappy I believe but they were £1 each.

Can't say I'm a fan of the Chinese GE T5's, never seem to last that long.
