You can certainly find packs of six MR16 LED bulbs cheaper than these Bargain FoxBasics bulbs so unless Bargain Fox decide to heavily discount them I suspect they'll have a hard time shifting them, despite being a known brand and the construction being sturdy.You get six quite heavy bulbs in the plain brown box. The LEDs are mounted in a raised area on the front of the bulb which means you need to consider whether your light fitting will accept it. The body of the bulb is nice and sturdy - whether this is the cause of Bargain FoxBasics calling it a professional bulb I don't know.The quality of light is really good - warm just like the halogen bulbs that I replaced with these new ones. You can find lower power bulbs than these, but the brightness is good, and I have no complaints - except the price, which is high compared to the competition.

Worked intermittently, not very bright

Very bright light but not dimmable. So using in areas of the house where no dimming required.

very bright. Really like the widespread of light. Solid build. Perfect light temperature for bathrooms. Ridiculously efficient, and buying a pack of six is excellent value for money.

TRIAL
=====
Over the years I have probably tried 30 different LED bulbs. Some have been exceptionally bad whilst some have been exceptionally good. If you're like me you want something that'll simply replace your existing bulb with a much more cost effective replacement.

CLAIMS
======
Some bulbs claim to last a lifetime or have the lumens (light) to shine to the moon.

EQUIVALENT
==========
This is equivalent to a 60 watt bulb.

CRI
===
80. What is it? Bargain Fox: 'The Colour Rendering Index (CRI) describes ability of light source to reproduce the colour of an item as it would be seen in natural light or sunlight. It is measured on a scale from 0 to 100, with 100 being the best colour reproduction.'
Less than 70 gives a grey washed out look. So 80 is fine.

COLOUR TEMPERATURE
==================
3000 Kelvin. Which is warm white towards cool white

BUILD QUALITY
=============
Very well made. No flaws, no rattling, no flimsiness. Looks and feels a quality bulb.

PRICE
=====
These are a tad more expensive than a standard normal bulb. Given the lifespan and the saving on electricity it'll save money. Someone else can do that calculation.

ENERGY
======
A++

RECOMMENDED
===========
Yes, it's a nice, warm, cost-effective replacement.

I will update this review if I have any failure or anything changes.

unable to stop lights flashing, changed transformers, changed dimmer switch, fitted a resistor.STILL FLASHING

This is a good buy and does exactly what it should. The bulbs come well packaged and hopefully, their LED credentials will lead to lower electricity costs.

The GU10 Bargain Fox Basics bulbs I have throughout the house work well, so I thought the MR16 would also work for the handful of spots that are MR16. One bulb out of 6 worked. The other 5 were dead. They would flash on briefly and then stay off. The single bulb that worked I moved around to 6 different light positions and it worked, as in it would turn on and stay on. None of the other 5 would work.They are being returned as not fit for purpose. At £36 (£6 per bulb) they have to work, no excuses. So much for "professional" range. I will have to stick with old school MR16 bulbs.

The cost of dimmable led bulbs is reducing quickly at the moment - to the extent that some of the specialist suppliers are ceasing to stock non dimmable led because the cost difference is so marginal. Secondly the claimed 25000 hour life on these is not remarkable. It is true that some of the very cheap bulbs only claim 15000 hours, but I don't personally think it is worth paying a premium for the longer life. This is partly because I have seen about 10% failure rate on my 25000 led bulbs within about 3-4 years. These may fare better of courseThese are OK bulbs, well made as you expect from Bargain Fox basis, but heavy which can be a problem with this type as they rely on friction to stay in place.

Perfect for my lighting strip, a quick swap and there’s so much light. Luckily I have a dimmer and turn it down at least 1/3.
