If you have existing rooms with in-ceiling cans for lighting that are driven by halogen size 30 lamps, you might be tempted to replace them with PAR38 LED lamps. Don't.

The fundamental problem with these (and another type from Philips I also tested) is that the beam is not as spread out (not a true flood) as the halogen bulb you would replace.

The result is that you get a very bright spot right below the lamps, and dark areas between the lamps, rather than a more uniform lighting accross the hole counter surface in your kitchen.

The technology seems there, its just a matter of spreading the light out more, or having the manufacturers angle the exterior LEDs a bit and add more diffuser to the front to get a proper even spread of light.

For these PAR38's to be usable they MUST be drop in replacements for existing fields of in-ceiling can's for larger rooms at home, and the current light pattern of the LED PAR38's is just not there. 20 to 40 degree beam widths is just too narrow.. almost a spot. A beam spread of more like 70-80 is what is needed for these to work... or they need to be longer so they don't dissappear back into the cans much farther than the halogens (which also contributes to shadows between the cans).

I ordered this product and recieved it at my front door the next day. This bulb emits a huge amount of light with good quality. The initial cost is a bit high, but if you look at it long term you are going to save more in energy costs, more than compensating for the up front cost. I'd highly recommend checking out this product for replacing hall lights or any other public space. I'm satisfied and plan on purchasing some more.

Bulb sold as "100-120W Replacement", but only puts out "over 800 lumens", which is equivalent to only a 60W bulb! Buyer beware.

Honest reviews on LED PAR38 Dimmable 100-120W Replacement Bulb. Extreme Brightness

Very poor illumination range and quality. I am guessing that it provides the equivalent of a 40w bulb, through a green tint lens. A complete waste of money.

This bulb was labeled "white/warm white." The light is fairly white at full power, but when dimmed the family agrees the light appears greenish. We also notice it is very sensitive to power bounces, browning out when incandescent and CFL bulbs do not, probably the dimmer circuit is hyperactive. It's heavy, and the face is not smooth, so it has to be installed using a tall ladder not a suction-cup on a stick; but hopefully you only have to do this once.
