MR16 5W 38°

I’m very happy with these purple MR16 GU5.3 LED bulbs. They fit perfectly in standard MR16 landscape fixtures and worked immediately with my existing 12V low-voltage transformer, with no installation issues. The purple color is vibrant and evenly distributed, making the bulbs great for outdoor landscape lighting, trees, pathways, and holiday decor. Build quality is solid, the all-aluminum housing feels much more durable than plastic alternatives. Even after several hours of use, the bulbs remain cool and stable. Brightness is more than sufficient to replace higher-wattage halogen MR16 bulbs while using only 5W, which is great for energy efficiency. These bulbs are easy to retrofit, clearly labeled, and compatible with standard MR16 GU5.3 fixtures. Just make sure you’re using a proper 12V transformer, as they are non-dimmable. Overall, these are high-quality purple MR16 bulbs that perform exactly as described. Great value for landscape, decorative, and holiday lighting I would definitely buy them again and recommend them to others.

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.

The bulbs are easy to install and are an exact match for my older ones. The light is very bright (but not too bright) and makes my yard look great after dark.

Very short life !! I used these for replacements in my (many) landscape flood lights. Several died after only a few months of a few hours a night - much shorter than other brands. Edited review : My first review was a 1 star for reasons as stated above. I will give great credit to the seller for contacting me and sending replacements. I have installed three of them for testing. I cannot yet verify that they will last a long time, they only burn about 2,000 hours per year, but they have worked great over the past couple months. So I have changed the review to four stars - for excellent seller service if nothing else.

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.

Last year I decided to make the switch to LEDs in my landscape lights. Now a days it is easier than ever with direct replacement bulbs vs buying all new fixtures. I read a bunch of reviews on what to look for to have a comparable halogen appearance: a warm white light and around 2700K. I jumped on line, found what I thought I wanted with that description (a different bulb than these) for the absolute cheapest price and purchased them. They were definitely more white than I was used. One is seen in one of the photos above of the tree up close (the one tree in the back has the new Alide bulb as a comparison). After a year of living with the other LEDs I started to wonder if I needed to spend the $12/bulb that I had seen on a professional landscape page. I just couldn't bring myself to spend that much $ so I searched again and came across these Alide MR16s. I decided to give them a try based on the limited reviews but all positive! Plus the fact that I would receive 6 bulbs for the price of 2 from another site was a definite win - that is if they would provide the look I wanted. When they arrived, I decided to replace all 6 lights that night. Most had the other LEDs but a couple still had the old halogens... I now know what they mean by LEDs run cool because you can come close to burning your fingers trying to replace a halogen bulb that has been running for a short time. As soon as I put the first Alide bulb in, I knew it was what I was looking for in color. I used to have 20w halogens and they look very similar to them. They do appear to be a little brighter (maybe closer to a 30w halogen) but I like it even more. After testing them out last week, I placed another order to replace 6 more lights. The only thing I can't comment on is how long they will last. However at the current price, I'm not too worried at this point. (The photos don't really do the lights justice - if you are looking for that halogen look, these will definitely give you that.)

Great light output but they do get very hot to the touch which may lead to a shorter lifespan.Every time I’ve had issues with LED bulbs, it’s been with bulbs that seem to get very hot.Within minutes of putting these into my fixtures I happened to swap out a red for a green and the bulb was already so hot I had to use a glove to pop it out.We’ll see if they last through the holiday season but they do look great (IMO) shining on the house!

ALIDE MR16 Led Bulbs 5W Replace 20W 35W Halogen Equivalent,2700K Soft Warm White,12V Low Voltage MR16 GU5.3 I purchased the warm white color and when I first put these in I thought they were to yellow, however now I think the fact that they were so much brighter than the GE 20W bulbs I have used for years that they just seemed a little more yellow. I thought about changing to one of the other whites but I like the warm white color. And I was scared the brighter whites wouldn’t look as pleasing. I purchased them hoping they will last a long time. The GE bulbs were burning out relatively fast and these were advertised to last a lot longer so we’ll see. I just installed them 3/1/2021 so I’ll revisit this post once I see how long they burn. I burn them from dust to dawn every night. 2-2-2022 I had to update my review. I purchased these a year ago and installed them 11 months ago. My old GE bulbs that I would buy for about $3.50 each would only last a few months, these have preformed wonderfully. They cost a little more but they are well worth it, I hated having to run out to change the old bulbs so often, these are still going strong about a year now.

Had an issue with some of the bulbs but customer service reached out and corrected the problem.

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

These bulbs are awesome! A lot brighter than I was expecting and the light reaches the top of a 25ft tree! Very pleased with the color and brightness! Highly recommend.

Good quality

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.
