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 Tim Bunker

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good bulbs, misstated wattage, bad packaging.

The bulbs seem to work well. The color temp seems about right at 2700K as advertised. The wattage is marked on the bulb as 5.5w as opposed to the 5w advertised - I suppose this could be a problem if you are at or close to the rating of your transformer.The big issue I had with these were that they were poorly packaged. The first set sent to me only had 11 out of 12 bulbs in it and they were rolling around in the outer Revain box because the manufacturer’s box had opened and spilled them out. Somehow one must have disappeared before they got packaged by Revain - not hard to figure out how. The replacement hey sent was complete, but again the contents were scattered as the manufacturer’s box again had opened up. Not a huge deal - and the return was free as was the replacement, but a bit of a pain for me to do when it’s clearly a common problem that seems so easy to prevent.From a utility perspective, I’d recommend them and probably buy them again but if i needed all 12 bulbs in a quick time, I’d have concerns that they may not all arrive.

Pros
  • ‎Push Button
Cons
  • The bulbs may not have a uniform color rendering index across all bulbs in the pack
