I am refinishing the basement, and replaced the lighting with recessed gu10 fixtures. I went through the following bulbs and here are my observations:
LED CREE Gu10 dimmable base 9W Flood 60 soft white bulb 3000k (warm white) led lamp (sold by led.factory) : I ordered 12 of these lights. In 3 months since then, 10 of them have already failed. Led.factory has yet to reply to my email. I ended up calling Amazon and they refunded me the money for these lights. Its a shame, because I thought these lights gave out a very nice, neutral light not too warm, and not too cool either. One other thing... even though these are listed at dimmable, they only dim between like 90% and 100% of light... I would not classify these as dimmable. In any case, I am staying away from this seller and these lights.
HitLights CREE 6W Warm White (3000K) MR16 Dimmable LED Light Bulb, GU10 Base, 50W Equivalence, 5 Year Warranty, UL Listed (sold by hitlights) : I ordered 18 of these lights. I did not have a single one break like the lights described above. They give off a very warm (yellowish) light similar to halogen bulbs. I thought we would stick with these lights until I added them to an Insteon dimmer and they started making a very slight buzz. If you're not planning on dimming and want warm lights, I think these hitlights bulbs are fantastic, especially since they are very price competitive.
TORCHSTAR LED GU10 3200K Warm White Spotlight 110V 4W (330 Lumen 50 Watt Equivalent) 45 Degree Beam angle (sold by torchstar) : After being disappointed from the purchase of so many lights that I will not be using, I just ordered 1 of these. Good thing too, because the light given off by these bulbs is greenish when compared to the others. I didn't even bother testing it on a dimmer because the quality of the light was unacceptable. However, that's something that is very subjective so perhaps you'll like it.
THESE LIGHTS Genuine Great Eagle LED MR16 GU10 120V Cool White Bulb. 50W Equivalent UL Certified 3500K 60° Fully Dimmable Flood Light (sold by great eagle) : I bought one of these bulbs. The light was obviously much cooler since this isn't the warm light model. Its a little cooler than the lights described above from led.factory. However, the great thing about these lights is that they dim very well (similar to the highlights probably from like 10% to 100%), and they do NOT make a noticeable buzz when on an Insteon dimmer. I have since ordered 41 more of these to finish out the rest of the basement lighting. I wish the great eagle bulbs weren't as expensive as the others above, but I guess you get what you pay for. I probably will be sticking with great eagle for future purchases.
Oh.. and I really do recommend first purchasing a single blub to see if it satisfies your needs. I wasted a ton of cash on bulbs I will not be using :(

The lights were bright enough and dimmed enough with the dimmer switch I bought with it (a Lutron )as recommended by "Amazon" Arrived on time with no dammage would recommend buying these lights from Great Eagle other company I tried delivered a light that was not as bright or same color range.Best Deals for Genuine Great Eagle LED MR16 GU10 120V Cool White Bulb. 50W
I first ordered three bulbs each, cool white and soft white, as a test to see if I liked their quality of light and if it was sufficient. I wound up ordering 45 soft white bulbs to replace the halogen bulbs in my house. They installed easily, with no problems or failures. The light they generate is virtually identical to the replaced bulbs and should cost me 80% less in electrical cost and generate less heat also saving air conditioning cost. Only time will tell if they hold up as advertised, but if they do I should also save money in replacement bulbs and labor. I was also concerned that they wouldn't look as good because the light comes from three sources per bulb, but that is not an issue. We are able to dim them with no problem. I thought I might need new switches or other electrical components to make them work properly but that is not the case. The price, though considerably higher than conventional bulbs, was low versus other brands of similar LED bulbs.Honest reviews on Genuine Great Eagle LED MR16 GU10 120V Cool White Bulb. 50W
This light was not only dead on arrival, but someone had written "Bad" on the box.I understand that DOA's happen and normally I'm ok with doing a product exchange, but apparently they either shipped me someone's bad product return, or they tested it themselves and knew it was bad and wrote it on the box.
In either case, I've been holding off on replacing this lamp while waiting for this product, and thought I finally had the replacement so am not pleased that they shipped me a light that they apparently already knew was bad.

light is not comparable to halogens (too white), but i think i will get used to it.also, light pattern is not as wide as halo's. (again, not too bad)
If they hold out fot few years, will be worth it.
