I considered not writing a review -- with over 800 already out here does there really need to be another. I am going ahead because I am so impressed with these LED bulbs just couldn't resist putting in my two cents worth! I have under cabinet lighting in 4 areas of my kitchen - three of which are definitely "work areas" so good lighting is critical for me. The old halogen bulbs provided adequate lighting but produced a LOT OF HEAT. So much that in summer months here in North Carolina I felt they were defeating the purpose of my AC, yes they would product that much heat!! I had gotten to the point I did not use that lighting at all, but just my overhead spots (which are all LED by the way) and did prep work only on my island. That was OK at first but now my hubby is retired and we are preparing meals together and I am also teaching my granddaughter how to cook - so we need more prep space. So began my hunt for LED lighting. Found these, read many of the reviews and decided to purchase 1 package and see what I thought. Well, I was blown away. Love the lighting so much better than the halogen. LED bulbs produce a nice, white light where halogens had a yellowish cast. Picture 1 showing the coffee pot is the LED and 2nd pic counter only is the halogen. Hope you can see the difference as it really is SO MUCH nicer/brighter and eliminates that ugly yellowish cast. And best of all, THEY PRODUCE NO HEAT!! I ordered more to replace all of my bulbs. Have been using them on a daily basis (multiple times during the day) and do not worry about heat or energy costs. Cannot speak about longevity as I have not had that that long. I will note that while they are dimmable I am not using that feature. My under cabinet lighting does not have dimmer switches but rather a rocker switch (low/high I guess you would say) on each fixture. When on "low" the lights do flicker slightly and when on "high" they function perfectly. Since I do not use them as night lights and the cost on LED is low, I am happy keeping them on the high setting. Just putting this out there for anyone who has the same kind of fixture as mine. Have included pics of my fixtures and switch. Am so happy I did this and wish I had done it sooner! If you are on the fence about replacing yours, jump off and get some of these you will not be disappointed. Regards and happy cooking (or whatever) ;-0

I had under-the-cabinet lighting installed in my kitchen as part of a renovation done over a decade ago. I love under-the-cabinet lighting. Try it, you'll like it. The light fixtures used 20W Xenon bulbs with a G8 base. The light temperature is good (I would guess 2700K) and they have been reliable. Only one of 26 bulbs has died since the initial installation and they have been used (in dim mode - half power) probably 4 to 6 hours a day on average. But even in dim mode, they get HOT. I figure 260 watts total, spread around the kitchen walls. The heat wasn't really a problem, but it was a problem at full power. Which is why the lights were used in dim mode, when I would have preferred the brightness of full power. I have gone to LED's pretty much everywhere else in the house, so I decided to look for LED replacement bulbs. I found these TAIYALOO LED bulbs here on Amazon. I bought an initial pack of 10 to try them out. I have ordered two additional packs to complete the changeover. To my eyes, the color temperature of these bulbs is slightly hotter (whiter) than the Xenon bulbs, especially with the Xenon bulbs at half power. The brightness of both bulb types is about the same on full power. The LED bulbs do have a faint 60Hz flicker in dim mode, but I intend to use bright mode anyway. My light fixtures switch to dim mode by putting a diode in series with the bulbs. This means that the bulbs draw power only during the positive half cycle of the 60Hz AC. You don't notice this with the Xenon bulbs because of the temperature "intertia" of the bulb filaments. But you do notice it with the LED bulbs, at least if you are looking for it. I don't find it irritating, but I'm sure some people might. In any case, I am now getting full brightness from my under-the-counter lighting, while using less than a third of the power I was using with the Xenon bulbs in dim mode. And nothing gets hot. Win win as far as I am concerned. I can't speak to longevity. I'll come back in a year or two to tell you how many (if any) of these LED bulbs have failed.

I acquired these lights some time ago to install under my kitchen cabinets. The previous bulbs generated a lot of heat, which caused discoloration in the wood of the lower cabinets. In contrast, these new bulbs remain cool to the touch and provide an aesthetically pleasing illumination. I highly recommend them for anyone seeking effective and safe lighting solutions for their kitchen cabinets.

We have had these LED's for about two months. They work great, they give a brighter light then the original halogen bulbs in the microwave and they are room temperature to the touch when in use, no useless energy being wasted as heat. The fact that they use only 15% of energy that halogen bulbs is amazing. My only negative comment would be that on Low light setting they strobe very slightly but for power difference we just run them on the regular setting.

Perfect fit in my Samsung microwave. Works on both low and high, there is a slight flicker on low, but it's like a strobe light going so fast you can barely notice the flickering. It might be annoying if I was looking directly at it, but I just use it as a night light, so it works for that, and I can set it to high when I'm cooking.

Perfect lights to replace halogens in our curio cabinet. Pleased with this purchase. Super fast shipping. Recommend.

These are not dimmable. Lutron and Leviton dimmers tried. Even setting to B mode and SSL7A they will still give you issues. Tried on two separate Leviton DSL06 dimmers. Also tried Lutron.
