Review on 12 Pack MR16 LED Bulbs 50W Halogen Equivalent - 5W GU5.3 4000K Neutral White Non-Dimmable 45 Degree Beam Angle For Landscape, Recessed & Track Lighting by Major Lindsay

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Worked flawlessly as a retrofit

Bought 2 packs of these bulbs to replace the halogen bulbs in my kitchen and living room. As with every LED retrofit, I was worried about transformer compatibility but these had absolutely no problem and have been working flawlessly for a couple days now. The color is almost identical to the old lights (something the wife insisted on) and I'm happy to say they're at least just as bright if not brighter. These bulbs were installed in existing fixtures that came with the house so I don't know anything about the transformers installed, I'm just happy they work so well. I'm not using track lighting though, these were individual cans. Now to buy 32 more to finish the rest of the house.Update: 4/9/2021Turns out I have iron core transformers (not electronic transformers). If you have electronic transformers, I can't say whether these bulbs will flicker or not due to their low current draw. Watch a few youtube videos on retrofitting halogens with LED just to educate yourself. Cheers!

Pros
  • Looks exelent
Cons
  • The beam angle is too narrow for some applications
