I have recently bought 3 different kinds of cool white LED, two from Amazon, one from home depot (Phillips). They all get 4 stars as they put out really nice light for a MR16 LED at a fairly reasonable price. Compact designs, that fit in my MR16 indoor track lighting fixtures. Though this model only fits in without the UV filter glass (there is no UV with the LED), and the clip still holds it in place.
The phillips and the other MR16 Bi-Pin (GU5.3)LED Spot Light Bulb are pretty good spots (there is a slight difference in color.) Both actually compete quite well with a 50W halogen flood, meaning that while the spot has as much light in that spot area, there is no extra light outside it. i.e. halogen still puts out more light....ok, well duh.
This 5W LED flood does a really nice job of spreading the light out, but it is dimmer than a 50W halogen flood......ok, well duh. It's just too dim to really use as a straight replacement, BUT.....
I have a number of halogen lights on the ceiling to fill out the living area....and it is a bit of overkill, but that's what it took. i.e. lets say 3 or 4 lights over a 15ft stretch (X3 for the 24ft distance), 8-10ft up yes, add it up boys and girls, that's a lot of wattage. Where I can use this LED flood model is in the corners or in between halogens, meaning I can replace some of my halogens with little noticeable drop in light, as the LEDs will now "fill in" the gaps I used to use a 50W halogen. The spots are nice, as they can fill in specific locations with pin point light, such as a reading area or work area, where I also used to double up the halogens. All in all, I can reduce from ten 50W halogens, down to 6, with 3 LED floods, and a spot or two. So, 200Ws, for 20W, not too bad.
