Anyone help with a lightbulb moment?!

We’re in the middle of a kitchen refit. The 2nd fix for the electrics is tomorrow and I’ve still not ordered lightbulbs for the wall lights. They will be on dimmers and the dimmer switches are both trailing end leading edge compatible.
The wall lights themselves need an LED E27 lightbulb , max 10W. I’m wanting the lights to switch from bright task lighting to ambient warm light when dimmed.

The dimmer switches is a 3 dimmer panel from Dowsing & Reynolds (I know they don’t have a great rep in the sparky community), I wanted to get the Corston ones but my kitchen fitter shamed me for buying light switches at the price point (I wish I’d ignored him but here we are). Anyway D&R say total load has to be between 5-150w which I’m assuming is fine. One pendant, 6 downlights and four wall lights.

It’s an absolute minefield out there in the world of lightbulbs. I keep coming back to Philips MASTER value dimtone lights but I’m not sure whether I need to get 2700k or 3000k.

If anyone wants to offer me some advice I’d be forever grateful!

Type 2 to 16a charging with commando socket

Hi all, please be gentle with me as I don’t have any clue about car batteries and charging etc. I have 2025 model Audi A3 plug in hybrid. I only purchased it a month ago. We will be moving house next year, therefore don’t want to go to the expense of installing an ev charger. We currently have on street parking. I had an electrician install a 16a commando socket (long story but I got it wrong and it should’ve been a 32a one as that’s what the Audi charger that came with the car is!!). So my question is, is it safe to regularly charge the car with a third party cable, type 2 to 16a commando? I was thinking of getting a Third Rock Energy type 2 to 16a charger. I called Audi who were less than helpful due to it being a 3rd party cable. They said they can’t help with any advice on that. Is Third Rock reputable or is there another brand I should consider? Thanks!
