Darn! I was really hoping that this bulb would replace the 75w GE Reveal Par30 bulbs in our kitchen which are getting harder and harder to find. Much to my surprise even though this bulb is rated as a Par30 it is just a few millimeters wider than the GEs and frustratingly just a millimeter or so too wide to fit in the glass cylinders of the hanging lights above our kitchen island.
As far as the light output it appears to be similar, but perhaps not quite as "white" nor as bright as the Reveal bulbs. The specs in the text on Amazon claims these lights put out 860 Lumens and claims the Reveals put out 980 Lumens. This seems to be about right based on my putting both bulbs in a light fixture that I could point at a white wall. I will also point out the beam spread is wider in the Cree LED than the Reveal halogen and therefore the Cree light appears more diffuse.
In conclusion I believe these lights would be an excellent replacement for a 65W flood lamp, but not quite up to replacing a true 75w halogen Par30 reflector. And of course if a Par30 Reveal bulb just barely fits the cylinder of your light can then be aware these are a wider and may not fit at all.

Great brightness and color. My wife noticed the lighting immediately, commenting on how much she liked the color and brightness before she found out I replaced the incandescent. I now have 4 of these. The only downside... the price. The cost savings are years away and may never be recouped, at least not while we are still living in the home. This is definitely an environmental versus financial decision.Best Deals for 1 Pack) IDEAL LED (CREE) 14 Watt Reveal Warm 2900K PAR30 Flood
I Would like to let it be known that these are NOT DIMMABLE lights. Slight Delay when turning on sometimes (less then a second) but overall provide more light then my previous 75w hallogen and the same warm white color.
