5W MR16 LED Landscape Light Bulbs, Low Voltage 12V Outdoor Landscape Spotlight and Indoor Track Light, GU5.3 Bi-Pin Base, Soft White 3000K, Non-Dimmable, (Pack of 4)

I bought these lamps because one of the halogen bulbs in my kitchen range hood burned out. The hood originally came with a pair of MR16 halogen lights installed. The first one lasted 10 years so I can't complain, but when I saw that LED bulbs were available, I decided to upgrade. Here's what you need to know if you're replacing halogen bulbs.The good:-Power consumption is much lower. The LED bulbs use 10% the power (5W vs. 50W) that halogens use. I'm taking their word on it here, I didn't actually measure the current or power consumption, but it's probably pretty accurate. This is good for your electric bill and your wallet, but it may cause an unanticipated problem in another area (see below).-The life of LED bulbs is, at least theoretically, quite long. Remains to be seen in my case but I like my odds.-The 3000k color temperature is a warm white that is an almost perfect match for the old halogens. I really don't like the bluish color temperature of most LEDs so this is good.The not so good:-The bulbs are slightly less bright than the old halogens even though they are supposed to be a 50W replacement. The difference isn't huge but it's noticeable, especially if the rest of the kitchen is fairly dark.-The lights (or, more likely the power supply in the hood) hum slightly when they're on. In a quiet kitchen I can hear them, whereas the old halogens were silent. This doesn't bother me because I almost always have the hood fan on if the lights are on so I don't hear them anyway. However, if you're using these bulbs in something like a reading lamp, be aware that there could be a slight hum that may get annoying.-On some applications (including my hood), the bulbs do not draw enough power to reliable keep the lighting circuit running. The symptom is that I press the light button and one or both of the lights will blink on and then go right out again. I sometimes have to press the button 2 or 3 times to keep both lights on. Once on there is no problem but this gets annoying.To be fair, the manufacturer makes a note of this right in the product description, and this is not their fault in any way. It's just a slight incompatibility between the power supply and the bulbs. Other than this (anticipated) hiccup, the lights work fine, and I'm not deducting any stars for this as it is not a design or manufacturing fault. But it is something to keep in mind if you're replacing halogen bulbs.Overall I'm happy with these. They have a couple of shortcomings in my application but nothing I can't live with. I do wish they were a bit brighter even if the power consumption were higher, but they're certainly bright enough for cooking so I guess I can't complain. I may investigate the power supply and see if there's something I can do to prevent them from failing to light, but I'll probably just leave them alone. They work fine, they're inexpensive, and I have a backup pair in case one or both of them dies prematurely.

They were great. I got them on all night for security in the front and back of the house and moving object they go on and then go right off again. Definitely would scare anybody away and great to see what we’re doing at night.

THESE BULBS TURN ON IN BROAD DAYLIGHT WHEN SENSING MOTION. THEY SHOULD ONLY GO ON VIA MOTION DETECTION IN THE NIGHTTIME.

Bought as replacement for old Halogen system. Perfect fit. House front looks the best it has in years!

Replaced my halogen lights with LEDs and got more light with more individual spotlights

Theses were a good fit to replace old landscape bulbs with LED.

LIGHTS ARE BRIGHT. WORK WELL IN LANDSCAPE FIXTURES.

I love how bright these bulbs are in my Garden Spot Light
