  I'd recommend this instead:
  https://www.masters.com.au/product/101047094/mort-bay-4-5w-l…

  I went the 6w version, and it is way too BRIGHT! and with the 100 degree angle beam the light is spread out much more evenly if you are having an array of them.

    In addition if you stack cashrewards 2% (https://www.cashrewards.com.au/masters) and 5% wish gift cards..

    this equates to : $12.40 per bulb
    and with the data provided above : $1.84/year

    i've tried the ebay import ones (3 leds/4 leds) they all died within a month

        Hi eatwell365

        The one listed are mr16 warm white 38 deg
        
        Any broader angles tend to lose light on the angle, so we sold more 38 deg than any other. We also have some 50w listed below

      You certainly have to choose carefully with LED lights - there's a lot of junk out there. You really need to check the color rendering index number and curves and the 'heat' level of the light (i.e. 3000k). QH and regular incandescent globes offer very natural light and are hard to match.

        I've tried a few and haven't found any that are even close to halogen.
