If you're looking for a "Warm Yellow Glow" this probably isn't the light for you.
To me, the light looks clean, and crisp it has a pure white feel to it.
Regardless, I think it's a fantastic light much brighter than I expected.
I have five of them hooked up to a track lighting system in my front room, and they light the focal point really well.
As for the price --I bought two online for $40 ~ only to find them at Lowes for $30 --instead of being selfish, and reboxing them to send them back so I could save $20 (meanwhile hurting whoever I purchased it from), I accepted my failure to research, and just bought the three remaining lights at Lowes.
Best wishes!!!

I recently ordered several different brands of MR16/GU10 LED bulbs trying to figure out which one is "best" for my office lighting. This Feit Electric LED bulb is the only one which does not fit in my fixture, so I was unable to try it out. Although the pins are the correct type, the bulb base is shorter than the other bulbs' bases so it will not QUITE reach the connector/contacts at the bottom of my fixture. It's very close but I can't quite twist it into place as is normally done. The Feit base is 1 inch long from tip of the connectors to where it widens out. The other MR16/GU10 LED bulbs I have are at least 1 and 1/4 inch long, and the base actually protrudes from the fixture (less than 1/4 inch). If your fixture has any kind of "tube" leading down to the contacts, I suggest you consider this factor. I don't believe my fixture is too unusual and as I say, other bulbs of this same size (including halogens) fit fine. (Amazon accepted my return of the bulb. Thanks!)
edit: In re-reading the many conflicting reviews of LED bulbs in the MR16/GU10 size base here at Amazon, it appears that some mfrs. use a shorter base, which some customers PREFER, complaining that the "long" base sticks out too far in their particular fixture. Others (like me) WANT the longer base. So look at the photos of the various bulbs carefully, you can usually see which ones are the "short" or "long" type of base. If there is a code or description that tells you the difference in these pages, I do not see it. It appears to me that the Feit and another one called "Lights of America" may be the "short" base while more generic brands generally have the longer base.

I bought one of these to replace a 50 watt halogen in my desk lamp. The halogen was still working but was too bright and really hot. This light claims to be equivalent to a 35 watt and from what I can tell it is. The best part, after being on for an extended time, I can touch the lamp without getting burned. The color of the light is very pleasant and not as unnatural as I feared. The true test will be to see if it lasts as long as the package claims. The manufacturer offers a 2 year warranty and has a toll free phone number on package save your receipt. Like other reviewers, I paid $25.00 at Lowes.
Honest reviews on Feit Electric MR16/GU10/HP/LED 3-LEDs 4-Watt 120V High Performance
This is a good little bulb. The light is slightly cooler than a halogen, but not like the blue "daylight" bulbs. I tested 3 LED bulbs and this was the best. Two negatives. The packaging. Small gripe, I know, and it doesn't affect the quality of the bulb, but it is encased upon arrival in a ridiculous double plastic package ten times the size of the actual bulb. I assume this is to justify the second problem. The outrageous price. Most people will need many of these. I need 20 bulbs to replace all the halogen track lighting in my house. That's over $500! (not to mention a mountain of plastic). So much for any savings I may have seen on my electric bill. 4 stars for quality of light. 2 stars for being a "green" product with massive waste and unreasonable price.

I have purchased 4 of these bulbs to replace the halogen bulbs that came with our(newly installed) kitchen track light. Fortunately the track light wasn't too much money! Anyhow these bulbs are just a shade less bright than the ones that came with the track light and the spectrum is more white. They operate just as quick and way cooler than the halogen. The fact that they use alot less energy means less risk of your track light exceeding your electrical circuit's capability. They have a long life expectancy (30000hours). Hopefully like most tech stuff the price will come down!!I paid 24.99 at Lowes. I can't take with me when I go anyhow right?!
