Product Description
We are proud to introduce our all new super bright LED replacement bulb for any standard GU10 application. This bulb works with a 4.6 watt LED to give you 45 degree spot illumination that is comparable to a 35 watt incandescent bulb. By replacing your standard incandescent GU10 bulbs with LEDs you will reduce greenhouse gases by consuming less energy. As a result your energy costs will go down significantly as well. This SMD MR16 costs less than $1.00 per year to operate. (cost to operate taken based on national KWH costs, and an estimated 8 hour per day usage) The SMD LED will fit into any standard MR16 application, and has an estimated LED life of 40,000 hours and 1 year Warranty….

GU10 5050 SMD LED halogen replacement bulbs Wide Angle, Warm white, 1232WW
Comments
As advertised, this is a bright, very wide angle bulb. It seems to illuminate almost evenly over a 180-degree range without a noticeable bright-spot. I don’t mind cool white, but this one manages to look cold and greenish at the same time. Really, the color is just too ugly for me. I’ve since bought over a half-dozen of GU10 3×1 Watt LED Spot Light Bulb = 20W, warm white, 1226ww and they do everything I want.

I had to return this bulb, because it simply wasn’t a cool white, it was blue.
I was really disappointed that LED technology hasn’t come a bit further than this. This bulb was totally unusable.

I’ve been waiting a long time for a decent LED or CFL GU10 bulb for my kitchen flood lights, which doesn’t sacrifice brightness or color. The kitchen lights are on the most in our house, so I really wanted to replace the high wattage GE halogen bulbs. The wide angle and warm white color make this bulb almost indistinguishable from the GE halogens, other than when you look directly at the bulb and see the individual dots of the separate LED’s. I don’t mind that at all though, it actually looks kind of cool, almost like a designer bulb. Once I replace the rest of the bulbs with these LED’s, I think it will be a nice effect. The bulb is fairly ugly in the daytime when the light is off though (as you can see in the item photo), but since it’s on the ceiling, it’s not like anyone ever looks up at it. I can’t wait for the rest of my GE bulbs to go out, so that I can replace them with this bulb as well (hopefully the price will drop some by then).
I love this bulb, but give it a four out of five for the following reasons, all of which I can live with:
1. The price ($18) is pretty extreme, so I’m hoping the bulb lasts long enough to pay for itself.
2. As I stated before, it looks pretty ugly when the light is turned off. Some kind of glass cover might help, but if that sacrifices the nice color, wide angle, and brightness, it wouldn’t be worth it.
3. The bulb takes a half second to turn on after hitting the switch, but at least it doesn’t flicker at all while warming up like some CFL’s.

I bought 3 of the warm white models to replace the energy-sucking halogen bulbs we had in our hanging lights over the kitchen counter.
I’m pretty happy with these SMD LEDs. They’re not quite as bright as I would ideally like, but compared to the other LED GU10 offerings, I think these are the best and brightest.
The light is very evenly spread-out.. which I think is good. The other 1 watt/2 watt LED bulbs that I tried from the local home depot type store had very concentrated light patterns — almost like a hanging flashlight.
Regarding “warm white” … well, I wouldn’t call it “warm”. The light still has too much of that cold harshness of LEDs — but it is bearable. Especially considering that my 3 lights now take ~6 watts versus the old ~175 watts of the halogens.
Considering the current low-energy options for GU10, I think these are the best and most reasonably priced.
