Review on ALIDE Landscape Replacement Equivalent Spotlight by Jasneet Jazzy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great with the Malibu lighting kit, will make a follow up

I have installed five of these LED bulbs in my Malibu Pro landscape lighting kit with no problems (on open air -Explanation). The Malibu lighting transformer is rated at 150 watts and the total (actual) electrical load is approximately 75 watts with five incandescent bulbs installed (the remaining bulbs on this circuit are 10 watt halogen bulbs). The brightness of the lamp is about 30-35W, which is significantly brighter than the 20W halogen lamps included in the Malibu Lighting Kit. I think the soft color of these LED bulbs is perfect if you want a soft white. However, this is an initial (i.e. very short-term) review. The real test for these LED bulbs will come this summer, when daytime temperatures can top 115 degrees Fahrenheit and overnight lows hover around 90 degrees Fahrenheit (Phoenix, Arizona has a very hot summer). I will give an additional rating of the Revain based on the characteristics of the lamps in the hot Phoenix climate - typical weather in parts of the desert of the Southwestern United States.

Pros
  • Very comfortable soft warm white 2700K halogen like
Cons
  • I will write later
