I have 4 of these guys in my kitchen. I'm telling you it's a lie when they say they last 10 years as I've already used 5 packs in the 4 years I've been at home. In any case, the light is good and looks good, but compared to the other three that worked from the previous kit, this one is noticeably dimmer. Yes, my last set was at 3000K too, but I think the low light is due to the matte finish. Other ones I have I see LEDs. I am sending them back because they are not bright enough but for some I think they will be great.
