I have to say these bulbs filled the need. I have a small shop and I have a ribbon bar with 5 halogen bulbs. They were hot, didn't last very lonely and did I mention they were really hot! When another one burned out, I decided it was time to switch to LEDs. I did my research and settled on these LEDMEs! Light bulbs. What a great solution. They have a sharper and cleaner light, they do NOT emit a heatwave and they've done a great job so far. I am very pleased with the design of the front of the lamp and the entire lamp assembly. The change is worthwhile and costs a little more than the LED lamps originally cost.
