Note that in real use the 5W lamps are showing signs of heat related failure. So it may be better sticking to the more sensibly rated 3W units.
Poundland is currently engaging in rapid evolution of its range of LED lamps with a really surprising range of 3W, 5W and 6W LED lamps. I started looking at them with a view to covering them all in one video, but had to restart with just the most recent when they turned out to be somewhat more interesting than I had expected.
The most notable features are the use of multi-chip LEDs to fit a lot of LED chips in series in a smaller number of packages, plus the use of X2 suppression capacitors in the capacitive dropper circuit.
