Reliable – 2 years in Malibu fixtures I’ve had these LED bulbs running in my backyard Malibu fixtures for two years. Much to my surprise (because of the exposed circuit board), they’ve been fairly reliable…out of 18 bulbs, only one has failed while being used. The DOA rate was higher, with two out of the original 20 being defective. Luckily, I’d ordered a couple of extras, assuming that they wouldn’t last all that long when exposed to outside temperatures and humidity.The power consumption of these bulbs is quite low…about 100ma at 12 volts. That’s 1.2 watts. Translated into English, that means that you can string many more lamps on a single wire, as well as using a significantly smaller transformer. I replaced a 600 watt beast ( with a couple of solar panels and some large batteries. The power savings has more than paid for itself.The light output of these particular bulbs is roughly equivalent to 7- to 10-watt bulbs; significantly less than the original 20-watt bulbs. In places where I needed more light, I used . Those particular bulbs use a bent wire wrapped around the plastic base for the electrical connection and corrosion has caused a higher percentage to fail.My recommendation…Don’t go out and buy a whole slug of these without trying them first. Pick up a couple and see how you like them in your fixtures in your yard. They’re certainly worth trying.
Exactly what they should be and easy to waterproof … Installing some new Malibu LED sets in our yard, needed to get the old sets to match in color (the original incandescent bulbs were yellowish sort of color) output as LED’s generally have a somewhat bluer color range. Not blue, but certainly not the old yellowish color of the old bulbs they have sold for years. Each one of these actually has 6 leds on it, and the light output is exactly what it should be in our opinion, which is lower than the original 11 watt bulbs they replaced that I always though were too bright anyway.I might add, to protect the circuit boards in some of our older fixtures that had no weather shield, we placed electrical tape over the plug in area of the LED bulb, and then sprayed them with a clear enamel you can easily buy at any big box hardware store. Took a couple minutes to do 25 or so, another couple minutes for them to dry, and it must have worked, I left 3 in my pants which my wife put in the washer, and found them bouncing around in the dryer … but, plugged them in, and they all still worked just fine… Amazing … very durable, and apparently, very waterproofed …Recommended.
Just About Right It amazes me how quickly the traditional outdoor 7 watt incandescent bulbs burn out. So I got these to replace (hopefully for the last time for long time) all the lights on my path. I must say, they seem to be almost identical in brightness and color to the old ones. Hopefully they will stay the course.
