Been testing various GU10 LED's to determine which of the least costly is best before I buy the 20+ I need total for my track system. Thus far this is the best. It is very bright with a fairly decent beam spread, built quite solid (another I bought felt like a toy in terms of build and weight), and warmer than super-white. I have yet to find a GU10 LED that is really warm in color temp but this one is acceptable. Best part is that it ACTUALLY dims all I have bought are "dimmable" but most sort of step down at best this one acts more like a standard halogen in it's dimming and likely will be the choice for all my tracks.
BTW I am almost finished with my entire home switch to LED time has come, prices are of course still falling but already low enough to payoff the bulb cost in under 2 years of normal use they are a different breed of light source in some ways in my opinion the largest single technological leap I've seen in the past 10 years. Warmer color temp, offerings that spray light back instead of only forward, and brighter options for inside illumination (outside offerings are already amazingly bright almost blindingly!) are the tuning steps I expect to follow...

Similar units sell for 30 bucks at local home stores. What else is there to say? It puts out awesome light. I replaced all the bulbs in the fixtures I bought from Ikea and have actually seen a decrease in my electric bill. Now I don't gripe at my wife when she leaves lights on :)Best Deals for Lighting EVER® Dimmable 7W GU10 LED Bulb, 50W Equivalent, 360lm
Bought 3 of these to use in a track lighting system that came with 50W halogen bulbs. The light output of these LEDs seems to be of nearly equal brightness, albeit not quite the same warm (incandescent lamp yellowish) color but certainly nowhere near the stark, bluish tint of other LED bulbs I've looked at. There has got to be a good bit of energy savings going on with these, the fixtures don't get even warm to the touch, unlike with halogen bulbs, where you had to let them cool off before trying to adjust the aim of the track heads. Another great thing about these bulbs is that they are dimmable over a good, wide range I'm using a Leviton 6647 dimmer and there was no flicker from the lamps except at the very bottom of the dimming range. (Nice thing about this dimmer is that you can set the minimum brightness, and voila, no flicker at all!)Honest reviews on Lighting EVER® Dimmable 7W GU10 LED Bulb, 50W Equivalent, 360lm
So I really wanted to like this bulb. It has several things going for it. 1. It is the same size as Halogen bulbs so it fit in my light socket with the cover on. 2. It dims all the way to off with my dimmer switch. 3. It is fairly bright, but not as bright as a 50 W halogen, for only 7 watts. 4. It is inexpensive.It also has several problems. 1. It is far more directional than a standard bulb. It only lights up a narrow swath. 2. It is much much whiter than a standard warm halogen.
I was happy to overlook the problems. However, short of owning for one month, it started strobing and flashing periodically. It might be merely a malfunction with this one bulb, but I decided to return instead of waiting. Seems unlikely to last years if it malfunctions within days. I've read here about that happening to LED bulbs, but has never happened to any of the 10's of LED bulbs I've purchased.
Bottom line is it is not a bad bulb, but based on my one bulb, unlikely to last years.

When they're working, these are fine good dim range and light quality. Unfortunately that 'working' part is the catch. Ordered 6 bulbs for two fixtures. One of the bulbs wouldn't light at all when installed. Swapping the original halogen into the same socket worked just fine. Got a refund and replacement for that, then _after_ the 30 day return window had passed, three of the six have now started flickering at random, irregular times.Don't buy unless they fix the quality.
