Default Picked up a Par20 LED light today

For a while I've been looking for dimmable Par 20 lights that are more efficient than the 50W halogen lights I've been using. Tonight I had to run by the home improvement store and found a dimmable LED by Sylvania that claimed to be a 50W replacement. Now, the box only says it puts out 350 lumens, but I have to say it is a good replacement. I think it is a narrower beam, but I don't need a wide angle for my application anyways. I put it above my range where we do most of the cooking. Its not incredibly efficient at 8W, but its a heck of a lot better than a halogen light. Also, the price was pretty high @ $26. But, if it lasts as long as it is supposed to (50k hrs), I'll be quite happy with the purchase.

The light (package):



Here it is on, its still a little light out outside as you can see. More than enough light to work, especially when combined with the under cabinet lighting.
