Any LED GU10's that fit my downlighter?

I tried some 4w ledare gu10 from ikea in my sons bedroom and was impressed with the results for £4.
So I bought some more intending to use them in the kitchen and breakfast room but now find that they don't fit into the different downlighter fittings I am using downstairs. They are too 'fat' for the fitting which is tapered as they can be adjusted for angle, whereas the ones upstairs have loads of room.

Any suggestions as to a decent brand that won't break the bank but is sized more like a regular GU10 bulb?

Here's a picture showing how much fatter they are than normal GU 10

I relented and bought some from Ebay in the end. They appear to be identical to standard GU10s. Will do a pic if you want ?

Thanks.  How do these compare output wise to regular GU10s, and what did you pay?

I know I can get GU10 LEDs that are the same size as regular GU10s, but the key issue is are they any good, and are they a decent price?

For £4, the Ikea Ledare ones are fantastic value IMO.  They are as bright as a regular 50w GU10, perfect warm white colour match, and a keen price.

I do have some others from TLC that would fit, but these are 2-3x the price. I have them in my porch where the light is on for a longish time each evening.

I just replaced 26 bulbs upstairs with the Ikea ones, but given I have 31 more to replace in fittings where they don't fit, then I don't fancy spending that sort of money!

Having had some cheap LEDs fail on my pretty early in the past, I also like the fact that Ikea say on the box they are not just good for 25k hours, but also 25k i/o. So I want some that are not only a good price but reliable too.

I have both Day and Warm White 24SMD LEDs . Paid about £22 for 8 last time, although I notice they are down to £16 now.
The Day White ones are very White , but the Warm White ones are perfectly acceptable replacements for the 35w halogens I had fitted.
I had 1 day white one fail, which was refunded without question by the seller.

Not sure it will help, but can post a picture of the room tonight
