Have tried it in several applications with success. This includes outdoor landscape path lamps, indoor clip-on type desk lamps and in the work van dome light. All worked perfect with this bi-pin type bulb.
A word it will replace a 10 watt halogen bulb with same intensity of light. But it is too dim to replace a 20 watt. But this bulb does do what it is supposed to do more.

The shipping was very fast... I think it came in three business days. The quality of the light seems VERY good. Time will tell how long it will last. I used it to replace a 10 watt Halogen bulb for a cheap bi-pin malibu landscape light system. The light was the same spectrum of warm light as the malibu bi-pin. I could not tell the difference. This is equivalent to a 10 watt... maybe just slightly more bright. It will not be even close to a 20 watt.If this review helped you, please hit the 'like' button!

I put the bulb into existing fixtures, replacing halogen bulbs. I upgraded the wiring to 12 guage, just to be sure that I could extend it in the future without seeing a voltage drop.Heat:
Some other reviews have mentioned heat. To test this, I put my transformer on continuous and left the lights on for two days straight. Throughout the test, I would touch the bulb to see if there was excessive heat which could potentially cause a burnout. Not only did nothing burn out, the bulb was cool to the touch after being on for two days straight.
Size:
It is only slightly longer than the halogen bulb it replaced
Light Quality:
It is warm white, roughly equivalent to the 10 watt bulb it replaced.
Price to longevity ratio:
At 8 bucks a piece, it remains to be seen how much money each bulb will save. If the bulb lasts 50000 hours, I will save $32 bucks in energy savings plus the cost of replacement bulbs. Bulb for bulb, it will take me 18 months of 8 hour per night use to break even on the cost of this bulb with my current cost of energy.
