I have a couple of 1W warm white ebay LEDs for my bedside lamps. I got them specifically because I wanted them dim, with just enough light to read. They work well.

Niel: I was at Bunnings today and saw Viribright LED lamps in 5W, 8W and 11W. Both dimmable and non-dimmable. Pricing was about $17 for 8W and $24 for 11W. It is a large Hong Kong brand with presence in AU, US, UK, Singapore, etc. It has all the compliance and from their web site you can get the declarations as required by law (I have not checked it, just saw it there). Not the best looking (imo) but looks like what people here are asking for. Has anyone tried it? Half the price of Philips, Osram, etc.
Also, suggestion for a photo hosting web site please so I can post links here. First time ever that I needed that feature...

Is this them? They look great - if they are 900lm at 10W, but some '10W' are 230 lm? Did they have specs at Bunnings? I've been looking for an E14 60W replacement for ages.

Niel: Okay, got the details about Virilight sorted. The old model 11W non-dimmable light is only
Bottom line, for recessed fittings I highly recommend the Viribright 8W dimmable lights $18 from Bunnings. I predict (and friends at work as well) that CFL will die soon and in a year's time the cost of LED lights will be very well placed.

timmmay: This thread is quite funny. You guys are going on about the small savings going from CFL to LED, ignoring the much much greater cost of lost heat through having incredibly inefficient downlights.
If you really want to save money get rid of the downlights, or replace them with sealed units you can insulate over.
