GU10 LED Bulbs

Love these! As everyone is probably already aware, halogen bulbs give off a lot of heat.There’s almost no heat from these LED lights, just a slight warmth to the the touch vs my old halogen bulbs that would burn to the touch and heat up the room.I’m using the 3000k and they put out a bright, natural warm light.I originally ordered the 4000k but didn’t care for the ultra bright, very cool daylight tone of the lights. I’m new to the LED light temps and should’ve done more research. So if you prefer a bright but soft, more natural look, go with the 3000k, if you’re wanting an ultra bright cool blue/daylight tone, go with the 4000k.These LED GU10 base bulbs are slightly larger than the typical halogen bulb, but the base/prong fit and function is perfect, the little bit of the rim that extends makes them easier to install and remove.Also, in case it’s not mentioned in the product description, I’ll mention here that these are NOT dimmable. And for those, like myself who haven’t changed their bulbs in a long while and forgot how to remove them: gently push inward and turn 90 degrees to the left then pull them out.Overall I’m very happy with these and recommend.

I like everything about them, the color is good, brightness equivalent to the 50W halogens they replaced, the beam is sufficiently wide to light evenly. But I had 2 fail in under 2 years of use. They worked fine for over 18 months, but then failed. It's typical life span is 20 years, as stated on the box. If reliability issues don't go away, it's actually more expensive to use these leds as halogens would be.EDIT: after contacting the seller (which wasn't easy to find on the amazon website), they promptly offered to replace the broken bulbs honoring their 2 year warranty. Changing rating from 3 to 5 stars. I have a big soft spot for sellers standing behind their products, Thanks.UPDATE: they keep failing prematurely, I'm lucky if I get 2 years out of them.

What I like about using these bulbs is that they are compact, lightweight, but they are very efficient!I like the "warm white" light, it makes reading not too hard on my eyes. For the bulbs being so small, they have great coverage! They also show colors really well on my Zoom video calls. I recommend these for anyone trying to save money and not have to worry about changing out the bulbs every year!5/5

Our kitchen ceiling fixture has 6 of these style bulbs and is used several hours a day. In Dec 2019, I replaced all incandescent 50w bulbs with these 6.5w LEDs. We were and are exceptionally pleased with how much brighter the area is with the 3K warm white bulbs. A few weeks ago, two LEDs failed within days of each other. At about 27 months and about 7000 hours estimated, certainly well short of the 50,000 hours projected life. Closer to the life we were used to with incandescent. There is no dimmer in the circuit and ceiling heat is normal room temp. Failure mode is that they go from very bright to very dim and/or flicker. While inexpensive to replace and likely paid for with power savings, I'm still hoping these were flukes and not the norm.

I just installed these in my track light a week ago, replacing the burnt out halogens it came with. I cannot speak for the longevity of the bulbs, but the color is perfect for me (not yellow, not blue). This is so much brighter than the halogens ever were, being in the kitchen is what we needed. I don't have a dimmer switch installed yet as we are currently on regular switches so all I needed were regular bulbs (I don't remember if these were supposed to be dimmable or not). These were a good price irregardless, I will order again as soon as I get my second track installed.

Comparing these to my old halogen bulbs, I'm now saving 261 watts with these new LED bulbs. The old halogens used 50 watts each (multiplied by 6 bulbs) whereas these only use 6.5 watts each, and put out more light. It's hard to believe that I was using 300 watts when I turned on my lights.4/25/2021:I still love these lights, but two bulbs went out within days of each other. I contacted LEDMEI through Amazon because I was still in the two-year warranty period, and they sent me new bulbs! No trouble whatsoever. I cannot recommend these bulbs and the seller highly enough.

As others have reviewed about the longevity of these bulbs, 3 of the 6 bulbs I purchased in 2021 have now failed. They became very dim and started to flicker. Just ordered a new pack to replace them. These bulbs were used for only 3-4 hours per day and should have lasted over 40 years going by the 50,000 hours rating. Clearly, that’s not been the case…

I have used this LED bulb for years now with what I believe to have great service life. What I have noticed from an older LED bulb is that the new LED bulbs are brighter. I have one LED that is left on 24/7 for over a year or (9072 hours in a year) before I had to change it out. I change the LED when it starts flashing on and off. I have another LED light that lights the back yard from dusk to dawn now for 2 years and should be getting close to its service life. Both bulb have been used in-doors and I'm unsure what the service life would be subjected to cold temperatures.
