MR16 LED Bulbs

I started using these LEDs in May 2020 when I redesigned and added more lights to our landscape lighting system. Before using these LEDs, I was using 50w halogen MR16 bulbs because I liked the amount of light output, dispersion, and color temperature. However, when I increased the number of lights on our system I needed to either get a huge transformer (600+ watts) to provide enough wattage for all of the desired light locations or go to LED bulbs which use 1/10 of the watts. And, if I bought the larger transformer and stayed with the halogen bulbs, our electrical usage would have jumped to about $30/month, just for the landscape lights. Now, I like the look of a nicely lit home and yard, but why pay $30/month (plus more for hardware and bulbs) when I could be paying $3... IF the quality of the LED bulbs was good. After doing a fair bit of research, I settled on these Boxlood MR16 LEDs and I could not be happier with the results. Every single bulb worked. All aspects of the light quality were excellent and largely stayed that way over their useful life (more on this later). I must admit that I'm always a bit wary of buying Chinese-produced lighting because of the often outrageous claims as to light output (lumens), color temperature (Kelvin), or expected lifespan. These Boxlood bulbs are excellent in all respects -- they're bright, have a very nice halogen-like 3000° Kelvin color, and last a long time. They claim to have a 20,000-hour lifespan, and by my calculations, I'm getting reasonably close to that. The first of the bulbs that I purchased in 2020 are just beginning to burn out (light quality and output seemed fine, right up to the end). If you do the math, over the ~50 months that I've had the bulbs, the 20,000 hours would equal about 13 hours/day. My best estimate is that our landscape lights are on an average of about 11 hours/day, or roughly 85% of the stated 20,000-hour life, in all kinds of weather from blazing hot to freezing cold. This 85% performance (presumably against a 20,000-hour rating done in a lab under ideal conditions) is more than good enough for me. Frankly, for the price per bulb and electricity savings, I'd be happy with even less lifespan! The bottom line, these are great bulbs that I will continue to purchase as long as they are available.

I recently reordered the Boxlood MR16 LED Light Bulb for my home, and based on my previous order several years ago, I am absolutely thrilled with its outstanding performance. This remarkable bulb has exceeded all my expectations in terms of brightness, longevity, and flicker-free operation. First and foremost, the brightness of this MR16 LED bulb is truly remarkable. Upon installation, I was immediately impressed by the powerful illumination it provided. I use the bulb to light my study and the brightness was consistently brilliant, making my space look vibrant and inviting. The light is evenly distributed, eliminating any dark spots and creating a pleasant, uniform illumination throughout the room. One of the standout features of this Boxlood MR16 bulb is its exceptional durability. It has proven to be a reliable lighting solution that has lasted a significantly long time, surpassing the lifespan of traditional incandescent (and often lower quality LED) bulbs by a wide margin. I have been using this LED bulb for years now, and it shows no signs of diminishing performance or dimming. The longevity of this product is truly impressive, and it has saved me from the hassle and cost of frequent replacements. Furthermore, the Boxlood MR16 LED Light Bulb operates flawlessly without any flickering issues. Unlike some other LED bulbs I have used in the past, this one provides a stable and consistent light output. The absence of flickering not only ensures a comfortable and soothing ambiance, but it also helps prevent eye strain, especially during extended periods of use. This feature is particularly valuable for reading, studying, or engaging in any task that requires focused attention. In addition to its performance, the Boxlood MR16 LED Light Bulb is incredibly easy to install. The bulb fits perfectly into standard MR16 sockets, and I had it up and running within seconds. The simple installation process was a welcome relief, as I didn't have to deal with any complex fixtures or adapters. Lastly, I appreciate the energy efficiency of this LED bulb. It consumes significantly less power compared to traditional incandescent bulbs, resulting in noticeable energy savings on my electricity bill. Not only am I benefiting from exceptional lighting quality, but I am also reducing my environmental footprint in the process. To conclude, I wholeheartedly recommend the Boxlood MR16 LED Light Bulb to anyone seeking a high-quality lighting solution. Its remarkable brightness, impressive durability, and flicker-free operation have left me thoroughly satisfied. Don't hesitate to invest in this outstanding product—it will transform your living spaces with its radiant and long-lasting performance.

Great lamp, did a very good job at lighting the entrance wall into a commercial shopping center plus they are both AC/DC power compatible which makes them universal with low voltage power supplies.

I used these bulbs to replace old halogen ones in an Ikea fixture and a ceiling fixture. The color matches close enough to the old halogen look (bought the 3000K) and are nice and bright. I love that they run much cooler than the old halogens and save energy. I only have a couple slight issues. First is when I have 4 of them together in one fixture, I notice a very high pitched buzzing sound; barely audible but there. The other is that for the Ikea fixture, the bulb's dome is slightly taller than the Ikea one, so it doesn't sit flush in the fixture, there's a noticeable gap. Not a big deal (bulb sits perfectly in my ceiling fixture where I had an identically sized GE bulb to the Ikea one), but something to be aware of.

These are excellent bulbs. I have been buying them for a few years now, and they have been exactly as advertised and very reliable.

I’ve used these lights for a number of years for my landscape lighting. I run them nightly for roughly 5 hours and they typically will last me about 2 years each. They produce focused light on some tall palm trees (about 30’ tall) and I’m happy with the results they produce. I’ll continue to buy them as they are cost effective, very bright, and save energy over more traditional bulbs.

These bulbs seem to be of good quality and if you need useful light these are the ones to use. They are very bright without glare and give off a nice white glow. No flickering noticed.

They work for a few minutes, but eventually go extremely dim. This occurs on several bulbs, both connected to dimmer or to a source with fixed voltage. It is pity because when they work they are quite bright.

Still shines bright after 4 months

would not purchase again ...now will have to remove all and return
