I order my LED lamps from a company called LED Giant. I've had LEDs fitted now for two years and must have saved a small fortune so far. The kitchen has two lighting rinks, each fitted with five GU10 240v units. When we bought the house they were fitted with 50w halogen bulbs, which made the kitchen look yellow, put out a prodigious amount of heat and burnt energy like is was going out of fashion.
So, with 500w of energy burning away and the electric meter doing an impression of a flying saucer, I changed the whole lot for the equivalent of 50w in LED, but only burning 4w per unit compared with the 50w in halogen. I'm slowly changing the whole house over the use the Nextgen series II bulbs (cool white), at £11.50 per unit (cheaper in bulk) it's not cheap but I'll quickly recoup that expenditure in saved power. With twenty bulbs now changed I have had no evidence of EMI issues whatsoever, but the kitchen is a lot colder in the winter.
