I had reason today to look over the specification we wrote when planning to build our own house in 2009/10

We wanted LED lights throughout. GU10 7W -some dimmable, some not. At that time there wasn't much choice and the only option we came up with was from Philips. Each bulb cost £28 and some pennies. In the 15/16 years we have only had one bulb die and that was early in its life.

By comparison, today you can get a pack of 5 for less than half that price. The march of progress is quite illuminating at times.

Much of technology has become relatively cheaper, more basic stuff like a beer or a decent meal out have gone completely the opposite way.

I also purchased additional LED bulbs this weekend. Here where and what you buy, major brand vs unknown affect what you pay though as you found, much cheaper than they were.

Have others noticed the massive drop in camping targeted solar panels compared to 2006?
