ALIDE MR16 Led Bulbs 12V Landscape Low Voltage 20W 50W Equivalent,Warm

I purchased 3 packs of these to replace all my halogen landscape lighting bulbs. The bulbs are well protected in the packaging and are solidly built - they don't feel cheap at all. I used 14 of the 18 bulbs and all of them worked. The housing is metal with fins on the edge for heat dissipation. The bulbs I purchased are the 5W version which is rated as 35W equivalent for halogen. It's a bit brighter than I would have wanted considering I'm replacing 20W halogen bulbs (ideally I would have wanted an LED bulb around 3.5W to match the same brightness as my old 20W halogens but I couldn't find any on Amazon). The color temperature is pretty good too; slightly whiter than 2700K - I'd say it's closer to 3000K, but still looks good in the yard at night. I can't comment on longevity because I just installed them. Someone was asking if they are dimmable...they aren't technically dimmable in terms of being able to change their brightness, but they can take reduced power (down to 7W) and still maintain similar brightness. Overall, they seem like a good bulb and they work well. Hopefully they last a long time! [UPDATE] After 6 months of use in my outdoor landscape lights, I have still not had 1 of these lights burn out yet and I have 17 of them in use. I live in Canada, so they have survived the summer heat and so far in the early winter they have survived freezing point weather just fine. No complaints at all thus far.

I have been using the white 5W flood bulbs for about 5 years. I initially bought 12 of them for landscape lighting and liked that they had metal heatsinks, very important for heat dissipation in enclosed flood fixtures like ours. I have learned to lower my expectations with regard to the lifetime of LED bulbs, from experience with these bulbs and several other brands and types. I have had to replace most, if not all, the original 12 over the 5 year period, where they were operated an average of 6 hours per night. I estimate that these bulbs typically ran 9000 hours before failing. The failures ranged from total outage, to half of the 4 LEDS totally out, to all or some LEDS flickering dimly. As I say, I never take LED lifetime claims at face value. The real world is a harsh environment for relatively delicate LED light bulbs to live in.

We recently moved into a home with two very small can lights in the ceiling of a built-in china cabinet. One burned out so half of the cupboard in was shadows. I took out the burned out bulb, which I found to be a MR16, with which I had no experience. I took this bulb to Menards where the employee was very helpful. Since the bulb had no markings, we could not ascertain what the wattage was. The employee did locate a package of bulbs that looked just the same, but they were halogen. I decided to try what appeared to be an LED equivalent. When I installed the new bulb, I found that the new light was was much brighter and cool instead of a warm color, which created a harsh appearance to the crystal on one side of the cabinet. After spending a lot of time on Amazon reading up on the warm to cool range and the conversion of halogen to LED as far as strength, I began to search for a product that would fit the can and produce a light similar to the original still burning in the other side of the cupboard ceiling. Though I found other less expensive options, I decided to purchase these Alide bulbs, which were listed to provide the equivalent of a 20W-35W halogen. Between the information provided by the seller and helpful reviews, these bulbs seemed to be the best choice for my cupboard. After I received the bulbs and installed one, I was very happy. Looking into the cupboard, these LED lights provide a complimentary tone and are bright without being glaring. I would guess the halogen bulb that I replaced was a 20W. The one still in the cupboard burns warmer than the LED. They seem to be expensive, but I got the effect I wanted so it was worth the cost to me.

I got the to replace halogen bulbs in my landscape lighting. They're easy to install, have good brightness, and the color temperature is a warm white as advertised. I only installed them a few weeks ago, so not sure on longevity yet. Only comment is that the top of the bulbs is a little convex (sticks out a bit). If you have landscape lights with a lens, this may push the lens out a little.

It took me hours of research before I decide to make this purchase. It's quite difficult to get a quality MR16 outdoor landscape light that can tolerate the AZ weather. I was concerned because the package says the light bulbs operates up to 40 degree C, which is only approximately 104 degree F. That's just not enough for Arizona. During summer time, we will have to deal with monsoon, dust storm and extreme heat at 119 degree. In short, I bought it and all the lightbulbs survived all the above. I am very satisfied with my purchase. I also want to thank all of those who responded to my questions on Amazon as they helped my purchasing decision. I only have one minor complaint - I ended up purchasing two packages, and one arrived pretty beat up...so bad to the point that I wasn't sure if the product is damaged. It's not shipping's fault. Package itself needs improvement, period. Otherwise, this is a quality item at a reasonable price. UPDATE - It turned out that Amazon shipped me a returned box instead of new. This is somewhat taken care of. The lightbulbs still worked great after a few thunderstorms, so they are strongly recommended.

Great light pattern illuminates the landscape perfectly the wide angle, really accents, palms and shrubbery

Still working

I have over 100 landscape lighting fixtures over my 5-acre property and over the years have used many different brands of LED bulbs with varying degrees of satisfaction... until I found ALIDE. I now use these bulbs exclusively in their various 3w, 5w, and 7w models. The color temperature is just right, and the longevity has been far better than any other brand I've tried. These are excellent! UPDATE 6/10/24: Strike the above. I'm sad to say that my experience with Alide lights has completely erased my recommendations and goodwill for their product. As noted, I have a LOT of low-voltage landscape lights and until this review Alide was my go-to supplier; however, I've been having a lot of problems with recent batches, some of them potentially serious: 1. Longevity is a problem. It is true that I have some Alide bulbs in fixtures that I haven't replaced in 3-4 years! At an average of 6 hours a day this equates with a lifespan of 6,500-7,000 hours. That's not the "25,000 hour" lifespan most LED manufacturers tout all the time, but it's certainly respectable. Unfortunately, of the past 4-5 cases of lights I've ordered, they are burning up sometimes in a matter of every few months - so using the same math this equates with a life expectancy of only 500 hours, which is NOT acceptable. I wrote to Alide and then said they did have some batches in production with issues... which, well that's fine and all, but that doesn't help me as a customer who's spent good money on a product that until recently was worthy of my purchase (and no offer was made to replace any of the "bad" cases of bulbs - so that's about $150 or more of my spending "wasted" on a faulty product). 2. HEAT - and fire hazard! Here's the real problem I'm worried about: I've had 6-7 examples recently where the bulbs have failed but only in a partial way. For example, the 5W bulb has four (4) LEDs on the chip, and half of them are failing - so two remain lit and the other two are "burnt out". What's happening here though is that the bulb is becoming incredibly hot! I had to remove three of them with heavy gloves because they were literally "burn the skin" hot. The fixtures they were in are heavy cast brass with ceramic MR16 sockets, so they tolerated the heat without literally melting, but had they been less robust fixtures then melting and a fire risk are very real possibilities. I have eight cases of these left and I'm honestly not sure if I'm going to use them or just toss them out but in any case I need to find a different LED bulb supplier for my landscape lights.

these may or may not fit if you are replacing a burned-out halogen bulb

I used these is well sealed landscape fixtures. Bulbs don’t seem to last more than a few months before the leds start to fail. Good light while they work.

Nice colour, not as bright as I would like. Does the job.

Not sure about longevity as I've had it only a few months. I'm finding 2700k is a bit too yellow and 3000k is better.

Ordered 2 boxes. Using for outdoor spotlights, installed this fall, lights powered on every evening. No issues so far. The price is right!
