TORCHSTAR 12-Pack MR16 LED Bulb Dimmable, ‎Aluminum, GU5.3 7W 50W Equivalent, 5000K Daylight, Recessed Track Lighting Spot Lights, 490LM LED Bulb, UL Listed, 12V Low Voltage Light Bulbs

These bulbs are high quality and bright. They provide a white shade of light. I've had them installed in my 12 VDC outdoor patio lights for several months and they are all working great. They also work well with LED dimmers (no flicker). The LED bulbs that these replaced flickered a lot, would not dim very low, and burned out very rapidly (I don't recall what brand they were, but they were crap and these ones are not).

Bought these to switch from old halogen bulbs. Great update in terms of brightness in my home. Overall, these bulbs are pricey, but most of the options out there seem similar in cost. I've had them for a few months and so far only one light is out. Easy to install.

I purchased my second set of bulbs to extend the installation I started. These bulbs are bright white and work great. They are less expensive than the Phillips bulbs previously installed and appear to be a better design. So far so good and I have had no problems with the bulbs.

I’m not able to attest to the longevity of these light bulbs. I wanted to use these for our recessed lighting fixtures in our kitchen and utility rooms and at 5,000k, these bulbs really do the job- daylight brightness and the angle of disbursement are great. We tried 3,000k bulbs (too warm) and these did not meet our expectation. I suspect that led bulbs at 4,000k will also provide enough brightness if you are looking for something close to “daylight”brightness.Our fixtures are 12v so they do not use a whole lot of electricity. All these led bulbs come at a price so hopefully, they’ll come close to meeting the longevity claims made by the seller.

For a rather no name product, these are really well constructed. Price - for a none brand, a little high, though so far, pleased. I've had these a couple months now and enjoy the brightness. Hoping they will last the 25,000 hours claimed.UPDATE: 8/22/19 Well, after just 2 1/2 months, 7 weeks, 84 days of normal use, the bulbs started to fail, rapidly. Four (4) died with 5 minutes of each other. Two stopped working, then a 3rd, next a fourth. All on the same switch; a valid LED dimmer. INSANE. I will be calling Amazon for TorchStar's contact details as it is not on the order, nor ad. Let's see how well they honor their 3 year warranty, with receipt and YES, purchase through Amazon, by TorchStar. Dropped from 5 Star in June, to 1 Star now. MORE TO FOLLOW.

These bulbs are taller than a standard MR16 bulb. Might not matter in many installations, but it my case, they just don't fit.Also, the "dimmable" claim, while technically correct, is useless. At the slightest voltage, they come on to about 95% brightness. The full range of your dimmer covers the 95% to 100% range. See photos.

Bought these "dimmables" to replace two 3 X 50W Halogens that were on Lutron dimmers. It's a month in & they're still looking & working great. But due to their cost I wish I'd tried the non-dimmable BoxLoods first (which I found as dimmable as these - see my review - maybe its that Lutron dimmers are great?). These dim as all LEDs seem to, ~ 40% brightness, not as low as Halogens but will take 'em @ about 1/10 the wattage.Photos: 2 closeups of my TorchStar LEDs, photo of 3X TorchStars in light fixture. I had to bend/tilt the delicate wire Techlight fixture to hold these heavy TorchStars properly, would not have had to with the lighter Boxloods. Operationally, I see no difference (advantage/disadvantage) between. But the dimmable (for me w/Lutron) "non-dimmable" Boxloods are lighter & ~ 1/2 the price.Not sure about longevity yet, its only been a month. Will update if disappointed:)

Other bulbs I tried had a flicker effect. These bulbs worked great and no flicker. Really solidly made and appear to have a great heat sink capability.
