With some trepidation I ordered this set of bulbs, not being familiar with the manufacturer or company shipping it. I could not, however, ignore the price. I'd been paying anywhere from $6.75 to 7.98 per bulb at local stores, and even figuring in shipping, these bulbs were just $2.91 each! More than 50% less than any of the other bulbs purchased in the past. Quite a deal.
I also decided to go with them because if buyers were having problems with the bulbs or the seller/shipper, I think Amazon would pull the product and I trust Amazon's integrity and business sense.
We've installed and are using 3 of the bulbs since they arrived (promptly & well packaged) several weeks ago. They went into fixtures without any problems and I can tell no difference between another (well-known maker) bulb being used next to one of these in color or intensity. We would definitely purchase these again. Feel free to check back with me in the months ahead to see if they are still working as well as they are now.

Bought the 6-pack GU10 bulbs for about $12 from Saturn Products fulfilled by Amazon. When they arrived it was the Feit Electric BPQ50MR16/GU10 50-Watt Halogen Reflector Flood Bulb with GU10 Clear Base with the 2000 hr. life span. From past experience I do not get the claimed life span from Feit bulbs about 2/3 of it. The GE and Phillips bulbs last much longer for me, however, they are very expensive at Lowes or HD. At this price it is a very good deal, if you don't mind replacing them frequently.Even a better deal came up as I was waiting for the shipment. The price went down to $8 for the 6-pack. So I ordered some more and guess what I got... another 6pack of Feit (2000hr. or less)GU10 bulbs. I guess I am set for a couple of years as I wait for some good GU10 LEDs that has 400 lumens brightness.
Update 3/12/13:
I've been using the Feit bulb for about 6 months until it failed. Based on my rough calculations I got about 900 hours of life span. As I suspected I got less than half its expected life. I wish they were honest or more realistic about the life span.
Update 8/19/13:
Well its been almost another 6 months and I have to admit Feit is very consistent with their bulbs... the second one also lasted about 900 hours before it blew. Feit should advertise these GU10 bulbs with a lifespan of 900 hours or less. Unfortunately, even at this good price at $1.34 per bulb, three Feit bulbs equals one GE bulb, so about the same price at the end. I guess you get what you pay for holds true. Bummer I have to deduct one more star for these bulbs have a poor lifespan.
