LED mains voltage light fittings

[Chris]

Any idea where to get LED mains voltage light fittings?

Maplins have some mains LED lamps at about ten quid:

do you get the sockets for them?

Is there an adapter that would go into a BC fitting and then take one of these LEDs?

They're GU10 fitting, which is fairly standard for mains voltage halogen downlights and spotlights - see

or an example [plenty of other examples on the site too]

Also note that TLC also do the LED lamps themselves for far cheaper than Maplin too,

or 're not really bright enough or wide enough beamwidth for general room lighting yet, but very good for accent lighting or display lighting (No heat buildup, very long life, very low power consumption).
