Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Updated: Choosing a LED is a hard thing (even for a professional landscape light person like myself) Now that the bulbs have come WAY down in price, it makes sense that everyone start considering switching. Less wattage means less money. At an electric cost running around $0.14 per Kilowatt-hours cutting your wattage down can really pay off over time. This LED light bulb gives a nice light with the light spectrum slighting cooler (more white guessing closer to 3150k-3450k) than a standard halogen 35 watt bulb 2800-3050, acceptable. I think ALL the LED manufacturers need to design their LED bulbs so they are slighting shorter than a standard halogen bulb. I find these will not fit in all MR16 enclosed fixtures. For the price, they can not be beat, even just to try one. Time will tell how they hold up. If you are using this on red brick or a white brick/siding home or a white river birch or green shrubs, these are perfect. Anything dark brown you probably will need to try another more warmer (yellow) type of LED. I bought Multiple different LED brand MR16s to try out to find the BEST; I will review each and update each of my 'reviews' as I can. FYI: Standard Halogen Bulbs give a 2750k-3050k color. The colorer closer to white/blue would go into the 3550-10000 range. Normal Daylight spectrum is around 5500k-7500k and usually are very hard on the eyes to look at night. If you are lighting things that are white or green. This is a great light. Bulb Lumens or LM are affected by voltage reading at the bulb, if less than 12 volts, dimmer, more than 12 volts brighter, if voltage is not in range of 10.5 and 12 volts, bulb will burn out faster. LED bulbs have wider voltage ranges, and tend not to change brightness in these larger ranges like other halogen bulbs. EG: 10 Watt Halogen=100+/- lumens ; 15 watt gr4=150+/- lumens; 20 Watt g4 Halogen=200+/- lumens; 35 Watt mr16 Halogen=320+/- lumens; 50 Watt MR16 Halogen= 590+ to 1500+ Lumens Halogen bulbs last around 1,000 to 5,000 hrs depending on voltages idealy (10.5-12v)... LED bulbs 20,000 to 50,000 hrs not so much dependant on voltage changes (8-16v). If this review helps, please let me know by commenting or hitting the YES button below.
