Alrite fellas,
I am a rather passive member these days, but from time to time I bump into situations where I need some serious advice from the forum.
A few years ago I used to do plenty of installations with LED bulbs (mostly gu10 spots), I tried different brands, from philips to more unknown lamps. In the end there was always the same problem, in 6 months time I got calls back from customers telling me that the bulbs had started flickering or broke. I eventually rejected all requests for LED's and have installed halogens since.
Current problem:
I am in a situation where one of my biggest customer with over 200 gu10 fittings is INSISTING that I use LED's in this installation.
He wants me install bulbs from a brand called blackberg. Now as I told above, I have a very bad experience with LED lamps, but in this case I can't find a way around the situation without losing this customer
Please help:
I have asked all my local Elec wholesalers and cant find the blackberg lamps anywhere.
I have only been given the link by my customer to webstore amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...iveASIN=B00CM9JGF2&linkCode=as2&tag=fr1337-21 but I would rather buy them from them locally (Essex/London).
I'm lost an in a hurry to make a decision with these bulbs. They look decent but I need your help.
I will be working with the customer tomorrow, I'll return late next night back to this thread. :banghead:
Thank you very very much.

Please help:
- What is your current overall experience in LED bulbs in recent years. Has it developed, is the technology yet reliable?
- Have you used the mentioned Blackberg bulbs? Please share your experiences.

- Would you use these bulbs
- Where can I find these bulbs. Please provide any links and feel free to recommend wholesalers
- Have you used amazon before for elec shopping and do I get a VAT invoice?
