Review on πŸ’‘ Enhanced Visibility with All-New Halogen Replacement Lighting G8 White by Latoya Luckett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Slight size difference but they work well

I bought these LED lights to replace my old 75w GY8.6 halogen bulbs for my 18 year old outdoor spotlights hoping they would fit individually. However, the LEDs were slightly larger in diameter and length, but the 2 pins matched perfectly. While the extra length did not interfere with the installation, the diameter was too large to allow the lamps to be inserted through the metal reflector funnels and the pins were not long enough to fit past the smaller radius. You can see small differences. between the lightbulbs in the attached image along with my final solution; I made 4 small cuts at the base of the funnel and stretched out the smaller radius just enough for the LEDs to go through. All 8 out of 8 bulbs work great and now I have working headlights again. I haven't had any problems with loose pins and the light seems noticeably brighter/whiter than the halogens. They're brand new so I can't comment on their durability but based on other LED replacements I've done around the house I'm sure I won't be disappointed.

Pros
  • Easy Installation --- G8/GY8.6 standard dual pin socket (8mm between pins), easy to install. No flicker, no noise. Work safely with 110-120 volts AC.
Cons
