Really expensive. Found the same bulbs and paid £6 more but got four times the amount!!!! And the ones I found after and got so much cheaper came so quickly. I was told by general lamps that they would be so many days well after a much longer time I emailed to cancel them and ask for a refund, funny how quickly after that i received the bulbs but had been using the others I bought for a good while already. Would not recommend this company.

Hi Rebecca, You selected a Philips LED bulb that was not in stock at the time. When you placed an order on our system firstly we show the quantity available and secondly if it is out of stock a large pop up appears before you make payment to let you know the item is out of stock. As soon as we received our delivery we despatched your goods. If you can send us the order confirmation from the company that was cheaper that us we will refund the difference if it is for the same item and manufacturer Regards Service

The 3 x 40w ES spotlight bulbs arrived on time. Sadly 2 of the 3 have blown after a days use. Is this normal?

Gyour website shows a quantity of 10 which I ordered . I received 1 only I emailed your sales department and was told that the 10x meant to a dimension The dimension is described by the bulb part number! It looks like a deliberate scam to me

Hi Roger, I have just checked your order and can see that you ordered just one bulb. The description states 10x28mm which refers to the of the bulb not the quantity Regards Service Team

I searched online for the 9w dimmable LED bulbs I especially wanted and was pleased to see that General Lamps had them available to order. However, when they arrived they were rated as 7.5W. The response I received when I queried this was: 'the 7.5 watt version is a replacement for the 9 watt due to the fact that this is the natural successor, as the higher wattage version is now discontinued'. It seems to me therefore not only that the lamps being advertised by General Lamps were not in stock, but were never likely to be re-stocked as they no longer existed. Can companies do this? There was no suggestion of an 'equivalent rating' when I ordered the 9w bulbs. If my electrician is unhappy with 7.5s they're going back.

Hi Barry, LED is an evolving technology so as the perfmance of LEDs improves the light output increases. Manufacturers then reduce the wattage of their bulbs to ensure that the light level remains the same , hence a 9w bulb becomes a 7.5w bulb. There is no loss of light the bulb will produce exactly the same amount of light but in this case you save 1.5w of power per lamp , meaning even greater savings in electricity whilst maintaining the same light output.

Received light bulbs, but they were the wrong ones. Ordered 4W and invoice received with the order confirmed it. The bulbs I received were 3.5W. Disappointed but couldn't be bothered with the hassle of returning them.

Hi As LEDs improve in output the manufacturers reduce the wattage to maintain the same light output . So you are getting the correct amount of light and saving 1/2 a watt at the same time You will not have been disadvantaged with your purchase Regards Support

Utterly useless - took my money then told me item not in stock - waited 7 weeks and when i questioned where my order was I received nothing of substance - completely lacking in care or understanding of my frustration at their service - would not use them again!!

Hi Nigel, I have checked your order and can see that it is now delivered. When you place an order with us we show live stock so that you can see if the item is in stock or not when you place you order. Also as a confirmation before you make payment a "pop up" appears to confirm if an item is not in stock. We do this so that if an item is waiting to be delivered the client has been made aware that it was not in stock. Best Regards Service Team

Hi Irene, You are based in Switzerland but you selected collection from our warehouse as there was no carriage charge for collection. We spotted this and contacted you to confirm that you did really want to collect from our warehouse, we were advised that you wanted goods to be sent and decided to cancel as there was a delivery charge to send goods to Switzerland.
