(More customer reviews)I bought these to replace par30 75w halogen bulbs that I have in many places of my 1980's built house. The can lights that I used these in are the fisheye adjustable type that was used heavily in the '80s. These work just fine in those type of cans.
The light output of these is very comparable to the 75w par30 halogen floods. The brightness is roughly the same - these might be a little brighter - but hard to notice the difference. These are also a little bit sharper in light, i.e. more of a silver than the yellow of a soft white halogen but pretty close.
They do come on instantly but take roughly a minute to fully warm up and come up to full light. The result is they will look like you have dimmed them to about 50% when you first turn them on cold and then they will get to full output in about a minute.
They are longer than the par30 halogens. If you look at the picture of the bulb on this page, the normal halogen when placed side by side will only extend down to bottom of the white ceramic part of this bulb. So these bulbs are about 2" longer than the standard par30 halogen. This was fine for my application as I had the room in the can for them but they might be too long for some applications.
All in all, I am happy with them as I replaced 40, yes 40, bulbs in my house with these, therefore the savings in wattage will be significant enough to put up with the slight differences from the halogens.
