I've tried a few GU10 LED by now and this one is probably one of the best. Using on track lighting with dimmers. A good second is the FEIT which is stronger but slightly colder white http://www.amazon.com/Feit-Electric-MR16-GU10-LED/dp/B005EHHF7K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334861820&sr=8-1

Pro's

Color comparable to halogen

Fast start

Fast shipping (fulfilled by Amazon)

Reasonable price point 4 for price of 3

Good dimming range (others are shutting down early or takes a few sec to light

Good strength (probably mid range between 35w and 50w) I used to replace the 50w with wider beam (this is misleading as the wider the beam is, the lower light output, so probably replacing a narrow beam 50w will seem to have less light)

Con's

Narrow beam (not critical if you bounce of ceiling or wall)

These bulbs are slightly larger than halogens. This wasn't an issue for me but make sure you have enough space for these

These LED lights are terrific. If you're looking to convert to LED, an important detail that lots of folks overlook (we initially did) is that the light from LED bulbs (no matter what the package says aboout "warm" or "cool" ratings) is often very different from other bulbs it's much colder even in the bigger name brands (like Phillips). However, this is not true with the Eagle bulbs the light looks exaclty "right" and "true"! A few reviews have noted that the Eagles are slightly larger than other brands true. However, I found that with a liittle patience and care, they fit just fine.

Honest reviews on Genuine Great Eagle LED MR16 GU10 120V Warm White Bulb. 50W

Color temperature is same as a halogen, but has a distinct green tint when measured in Photoshop. This bulb also was the heaviest of a group I am testing, with a fairly substantial heat sink. Unfortunately light output does not compare to 50W halogen. Length will be an issue for some when used in track light fixtures, since it is noticeably longer than a halogen. I am using them in recessed can lights so length is not a problem.

These are advertised as 2700K warm white and dimmable, however the color these bulbs give off isn't warm it's a harsh, greenish, almost fluorescent light that's nowhere near the warm glow you get from a halogen. These bulbs also don't work with all dimmers. I have fairly expensive Lutron digital dimmers (tap once to turn on to preset dimmed setting, double tap to turn on to full brightness, and press and hold for delayed dim to off). I installed these bulbs in a three-bulb fixture and even though the dimmer was off, when I removed the last halogen with two LED replacements already installed, the LED bulbs came on and started flickering rapidly. Same result with the third LED bulb installed, just a little less bright. I bought 5 of these and it was a waste of 75 bucks. They are very bright, certainly equivalent to the 50W halogens, but don't dim at the same rate as the halogens do; the LED bulbs have a rapid drop off at the end they stay bright and then suddenly go off as you progressively move the dimmer down. I would not recommend these just based on the color, but if you still want to try I would suggest getting just one to see if it's compatible with your dimmer. Lutron does sell LED specific dimmers (with adjustable controllers to 'calibrate' the dimmer to the LED bulbs), but after spending $200 on new dimmers already, I don't want to have to replace them again with even more expensive types. GU10 fitting, size, and build quality are good.
