LED MR16 50W equivalent

I bought these lamps because one of the halogen bulbs in my kitchen range hood burned out. The hood originally came with a pair of MR16 halogen lights installed. The first one lasted 10 years so I can't complain, but when I saw that LED bulbs were available, I decided to upgrade. Here's what you need to know if you're replacing halogen bulbs. The good: -Power consumption is much lower. The LED bulbs use 10% the power (5W vs. 50W) that halogens use. I'm taking their word on it here, I didn't actually measure the current or power consumption, but it's probably pretty accurate. This is good for your electric bill and your wallet, but it may cause an unanticipated problem in another area (see below). -The life of LED bulbs is, at least theoretically, quite long. Remains to be seen in my case but I like my odds. -The 3000k color temperature is a warm white that is an almost perfect match for the old halogens. I really don't like the bluish color temperature of most LEDs so this is good. The not so good: -The bulbs are slightly less bright than the old halogens even though they are supposed to be a 50W replacement. The difference isn't huge but it's noticeable, especially if the rest of the kitchen is fairly dark. -The lights (or, more likely the power supply in the hood) hum slightly when they're on. In a quiet kitchen I can hear them, whereas the old halogens were silent. This doesn't bother me because I almost always have the hood fan on if the lights are on so I don't hear them anyway. However, if you're using these bulbs in something like a reading lamp, be aware that there could be a slight hum that may get annoying. -On some applications (including my hood), the bulbs do not draw enough power to reliable keep the lighting circuit running. The symptom is that I press the light button and one or both of the lights will blink on and then go right out again. I sometimes have to press the button 2 or 3 times to keep both lights on. Once on there is no problem but this gets annoying. To be fair, the manufacturer makes a note of this right in the product description, and this is not their fault in any way. It's just a slight incompatibility between the power supply and the bulbs. Other than this (anticipated) hiccup, the lights work fine, and I'm not deducting any stars for this as it is not a design or manufacturing fault. But it is something to keep in mind if you're replacing halogen bulbs. Overall I'm happy with these. They have a couple of shortcomings in my application but nothing I can't live with. I do wish they were a bit brighter even if the power consumption were higher, but they're certainly bright enough for cooking so I guess I can't complain. I may investigate the power supply and see if there's something I can do to prevent them from failing to light, but I'll probably just leave them alone. They work fine, they're inexpensive, and I have a backup pair in case one or both of them dies prematurely.

I recently upgraded my backyard landscape lighting with the SANSUN 5W MR16 LED Bulbs, and I’m extremely pleased with the results. Here’s why: Brightness: These bulbs are noticeably brighter than the LEDs they replaced. The soft white 3000K color temperature provides a warm and inviting glow, making my backyard look great after sunset. Cost-Effective: The pack of 4 bulbs on Amazon was priced similarly to a single bulb at my local Lowes store. Considering the quality and performance, this was a fantastic deal. Quick Shipping: I received the bulbs promptly, thanks to Amazon’s fast shipping. Easy Installation: Installing these bulbs was a breeze. They fit perfectly into my existing fixtures, and I didn’t encounter any issues during the process. Overall, the SANSUN 5W MR16 LED Bulbs are a cost-effective and efficient solution for landscape lighting. I highly recommend them, and I’d definitely purchase them again. Purchase with confidence.

Good product. Did mot last forever, but pretty good!

Worked perfectly. Fit into the spot light above painting. It is quite bright and replaces the older bulb we had.

I have landscape fixtures that look like rocks. They use a 20 watt halogen bulb. I replaced the halogen bulbs with these LEDs. They are an exact size match. Four rock fixtures came with a 100 watt power supply. I have 2 sets of rock lights. By switching to 5 watt LEDs, I can operate all eight fixtures from one power supply. They appear brighter than the halogens. I added 6 more 2 watt fixtures. So I have 8 rock fixtures and 6 additional fixtures for a total draw of 52 watts. I now have a spare 100 watt power supply.

Fast delivery. Plugged right into my existing fixtures. The light up nicely.

Great bulbs, long lasting, low heat and nice warm light. Much lower price than Home Depot + free delivery.

Excellent color and brightness. Total bargain at only $2.50 each. Love these. Throw the halogens in the trash and never look back.
