Review: I have 3 of these 1109WW Warm White bulb replacements so far and 1 1109WH white replacements. They really work great. They obviously run much cooler than the halogen bulbs since they use about 78% less energy. The light output for the warm white bulbs is nearly identical to the halogen bulbs. They produce a little less light and perhaps a little more yellow than the halogen bulbs. But I am quite satisfied with them and you can hardly tell the difference. I evaluated the 1109WH white bulbs also since I was not sure which color I wanted. I have a g4 bulb in the refrigerator and that white bulb went in there. The white is just to obnoxious for a living area even though they produce a little more light. All the bulbs have been running for about 2 months so far. I am not sure just how long they will last since it has only been 2 months so far. They say I should get 50000 hours. Everything else they said has been true about these bulbs so I am counting on replacing these in about 15 to 18 years.
I really got tired of replacing the halogen bulbs in what seemed like every 3 to 6 months and the good halogen bulbs aren’t cheap either. I have about 14 of these G4 bulbs in my 5th wheel coach and I plan on ordering them 2 at a time until I replace them all. That way I get the free shipping with Amazon. I highly recommend them especially since I have seen theses bulbs cost 25 to 30 dollars.
