Excellent Value: The 10-pack ensures you have enough bulbs to outfit an entire kitchen run, with spares left over for future maintenance. Final Verdict The TAIYALOO G8 LED Bulbs are a "worked extremely well" solution for anyone tired of the heat and frequent burnouts of halogen bulbs. They are efficient, bright, and easy to install, making them a top-tier upgrade for your parents' (or your own) home lighting.

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.

The good - they matched brightness of the original halogens with a brighter, whiter light. Also, virtually no heat! A huge plus for these 20 year old light fixtures! The Bad - the touch button for these lights to work independently from the overhead above the sink (other than sharing the power) is a 3 level switch. So level 1 gives the too low light and the strob effect which is definitely annoying. Level 2 is the level which matches the brightest level of the original halogens. Level 3, which should be the brightest, is in fact virtually non-existent. They all are still on but at such a low level they wouldn't even make a good night light. Im wondering if these are only made for two levels or would the polarity make a difference? Also I wish I had went with the top brightness/lumens to get a little more light from them. If they last a long time I will still be pleased with them.

We've been using these for the past 4 years in our kitchen under cabinet light fixtures. These put out at least as much (if not more) light than the halogens they replaced, and do it while using a tiny fraction of the power. Additionally (and even more importantly for us), the heat emissions from these super-efficient LED bulbs are negligible to the point of being effectively unnoticeable. The previous halogen bulbs emitted an absurd amount of heat, making the kitchen extremely unpleasant to be in whenever the under cabinet lights were in use. This was especially horrible to contend with during the summer months. Switching to these LED bulbs eliminated the entire issue, instantly making the kitchen pleasant to use with the under cabinet lights on all year round. I cannot state in words just how much of a relief it was to finally be able to turn on the counter lights to see what I was working on without having to subject myself to the sweltering wave of heat from those accursed halogen bulbs. While I am super satisfied with these bulbs, there are still two significant (but largely minor) downsides that I've noticed with these bulbs. The first significant downside is their size, as these LED bulbs are rather considerably larger in size than the halogen bulbs that they replaced. With our existing fixtures, these LED bulbs were only just barely able to fit into them with the glass lens covers left off. But our existing fixtures were only designed for halogen bulbs, and were so small that even the halogen bulbs that they were designed to use had so little space that it was difficult to get the lens covers on with bulbs installed. (To be honest, when I originally ordered these bulbs, I was half-convinced that I wouldn't be able to get them to fit at all, and was rather surprised and delighted to discover that I was flat-out wrong about that.) Note that the glass lens covers are no longer necessary from a safety standpoint with LEDs, so there is no real issue with leaving them off that outside of the aesthetic impact. In our case, the aesthetic impact from this was quite minor, as all of our fixtures were located deep under the kitchen cabinets, and therefore the exposed LED bulbs and the lack of lens covers on the fixture is not really easily noticeable. One thing to be extra-cautious of with the fixture covers off is inadvertent physical impact. If you're lucky it'll just require reseating the bulb, but if you're unlucky it can damage the bulb or even the fixture. One of our under-cabinet fixtures is a bit poorly located and sees semi-frequent physical impacts, which is a little annoying to deal with, but still far from a dealbreaker. The other significant downside is their longevity. We started using these bulbs in 2019, a little under 4 full years ago. We have 5 fixtures that take these bulbs. Over the course of the entire time span using these bulbs, we have seen 14 bulbs fail, and have installed a total of 19 bulbs to date. Based on that, it'd seem the actual average usable service life of these bulbs is no more than 16–18 months. This is pretty poor for LEDs, although not all that drastically below what we've seen in some of our higher-utilization fixtures with iffier cooling situations and lower-end LED bulbs. However, given that these bulbs are seeing fairly high utilization (albeit not quite as high), that they are in at least as bad if not worse cooling situations due to fixture design/locations, and that their design requirements in order to be able to fit in existing fixtures has unavoidably resulted in a package that is exceptionally ill-suited from a thermal management standpoint, I am honestly surprised they last as long as they do. So while I'm not thrilled about the longevity, I do understand that it's probably all I can realistically expect under these specific circumstances. The price is also low enough to take much of the sting out of the relatively short lifespan. And finally, even after taking the cost of replacements into account, I am *still* saving money on using these over halogen bulbs. All in all, I'd give these 4.5 stars, and will be placing yet another order for more of these once more right after I submit this review :)

I recently upgraded my under cabinet hockey puck lighting with the TAIYALOO G8 LED Bulbs, and I must say, they offer an excellent combination of functionality and mood-setting aesthetics. Here's my take on these dimmable LED bulbs. The first thing worth noting is the correct fit for the G8 bulb socket. The TAIYALOO G8 LED Bulb is designed to seamlessly replace traditional G8 halogen bulbs, making the transition hassle-free. They fit snugly into my under counter hockey puck lighting, providing a clean and polished appearance. The dimmable feature of these bulbs adds another layer of versatility. While slightly dimmer than the halogen bulbs they replaced, the TAIYALOO G8 LED Bulbs deliver a cozy ambiance that is perfect for mood lighting. The subtle illumination is ideal for creating a relaxed atmosphere, making these bulbs an excellent choice for spaces where softer lighting is preferred. Despite being slightly dimmer than their halogen counterparts, the energy-efficient 3W of power consumption in the TAIYALOO G8 LED Bulbs is a significant advantage. The trade-off in brightness is well worth the energy savings. Additionally, these LED bulbs stay cool so I don't mind leaving them on in the evenings. In summary, the TAIYALOO G8 LED Bulbs are a correct fit for G8 sockets, seamlessly integrating into under counter hockey puck lighting. While they may be slightly dimmer than traditional halogen bulbs, the dimmable feature makes them an excellent choice for creating mood lighting in various spaces. If you're looking for a blend of functionality, energy efficiency, and ambiance, these LED bulbs are a solid option for your lighting needs. I’ll update on longevity after I’ve had these a while.

Zero quality controls with these! Some work perfectly and others flicker like some hyper strobe light. They are better than Halogen bulbs and produce way less heat but, these should be tested and verified before they are shipped.

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

Works great and very bright. Fast delivery

Pour le four micro-onde, c'est super

Buen producto

We switched our under cabinet bulbs to these new ones. We should have done it years ago! The original halogen bulbs got so hot that they would melt items on the bottom shelf. These are brighter than the originals, and cool to the touch.

They are very bright. After a few months they're still working well and have no complaints.

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.
