Great bulbs best in my review

Ordered the 10-pack. I have only tried maybe 5-6 of the bulbs, but they've all worked fine. They LOOK delicate, but I've dropped one and I had to really force another one in to an old rusty socket - both held up and worked as expected. So, they're more durable than you'd think by looking at them.As you can see from the photos they are decidedly 'whiter' than the incandescent bulbs (the 120v fixture on the right with glass dome included for reference) - almost to the point of being blue. It's definitely not as 'warm and inviting', but having a truer white can be really nice sometimes, depending on your needs. I would say the light is also brighter, but not extremely so. I'd say maybe 25% to 50% brighter.The other thing I noticed is how much cooler these bulbs are. I checked the temperature of the same fixture after several hours of running the incandescent and the LED (with the translucent cover on). As you can see the LEDs don't run nearly as hot. Of course the bulbs themselves get hot (over 200°), but still not as hot as incandescents, which can get up to 300°.Of course, the main benefit of these is the lower current draw. The incandescent bulbs draw 1.5 amps (at 12 volts), and the LEDs draw 0.25 amps. So, if all you're running is lights, your battery will theoretically last 6 times longer using the LEDs. That alone was worth the upgrade.
