Really don't bother..

I ordered four of these and installed them in our Kitchen High Hat lighting. The light from the bulbs was not quite what I was expecting, which didn't concern me, and I quite liked the light it produced.

one of the main reasons I bought the bulbs was, I imagine, just like you, be greener and reduce costs over the lifetime of the build. The manufacturer indicated 50,000 hours so it seemed like it would be worth the additional cost for the bulbs.

The issues came a little over a month of use, since it's installed in a kitchen it only gets use about 1-3Hrs a day. After this time the light began to fail. One by one each one started to provide a light show, where half the led's would flash on and off until the lamp got bored and the the flashing half would stop working all together. a few days later and the lamp fails entirely.

So within a month and a half of use, here's what we ended up with:

Bulb 1 Dead

Bulb 2 Half LED's Failed

Bulb 3 Dead

Bulb 4 Half LED's Failed

Conclusion... Don't bother. You can't be green with this bulb.

Cheers

EDIT: This was a great bulb till it died a month later. I contacted the manufacturer and they stated they can not warranty the bulb, in spite of it stating a 2 Year Warranty on the package. They said I have to go through Amazon. Amazon states I can no longer return the bulbs.

DO NOT BUY!

I have found that these lights are pretty amazing. It meets the specs on the bulb. It uses very little electricity. It is a non-glare. The light is in the white spectrum, not the normal warm color of a floodlight.

Problems that happen when people use these:

1. They want a warm glow, like you would find in an incandescent.

2. They want a bulb that pumps out the same amount of light, so they can't look at it like a normal bulb.

I am using these bulbs in my kitchen. I am very happy as I replace the old incandescent bulbs. They do not seem as bright, but if you measure them with a light meter, it is labeled correctly.

This bulb does not provide enough light to be a useful replacement for a Par20 in ordinary room lighting. It's okay for accent lighting, though the bluish tint may not be suitable for all purposes.

Honest reviews on VFL Par 20-LED Floodlight Bulb

This is the only true white light I can find for par 20 light cams. plus very low energy use. light is dim but good enough for kitchen when not cooking. Only problem is bulbs don't last burned out in months of part time use when should have lasted for years. Much better buy at $9 than they were at $24. Amazon refunded/replaced my first 3 no questions asked. However, by now I hope technology has gotten better. Also, since I know they can burnout, I feel I'm on my own.

I purchased 36 flood lamp bulbs for one of my offices. 14 bulbs failed within 3 weeks. The remaining bulbs lost their light quality within a few weeks, and I was forced to replace them. Neither the manufacturer nor Amazon were willing to refund my money. Under no circumstance do I suggest anyone either purchase these bulbs or deal with this seller!
