Best LED replacement for Halogen bulbs -- UPDATED March13/March24/May4/May28
I had to buy a lot of LED bulbs to replace all the halogen spotlights in my house -- altogether 132 pieces! I found these to be the cheapest around $9 per bulb compared with paying nearly $20 for a comparable brand from a store. The 2700k color is brilliant if you want real warm lighting. No regrets whatsoever! 5 stars.
Update March 13/2015 - Dropped from 5 stars to 1, and very upset.
Around the same time of installing these lights, my front automated gate and my garage gate failed to work at night with their remotes. The gate operator company came by four times to check but failed to solve the problem because it appeared the gate and garage door worked fine each time. On the fourth time, the guy called the operator manufacturer and was told to check whether there were any nearby LED lights. Sure enough, I had replaced all my landscaping lamps with this bulb. So, we turned all the lights on and found our culprit. These bulbs do emit RFI (radio frequency interference) that prevent my gate remotes from working. I googled it, and there was a ton of cases with cheaper LED bulbs. I called Hyperikon, and they promised to call me back within a few minutes. Nobody has called me yet. I spent over $1300 in bulbs, and now my driveway gate and garage door won't work from either keypad, car remote or hand-held remotes when the lights are on.
Update: An engineer called from Hyperikon before the end of the day and appeared to want to resolve the issue. He offered a number of options including a full refund if the other options failed to correct the anomaly. I will update on how this goes and change my review points depending on how they handle this.
Update March 24/2015: Hyperikon has reached out quite a number of times since the last time. They appear to be very sincere about resolving this issue and have notified me of a new bulb that will have a different frequency and hopefully, solve this problem. They will replace all my bulbs with the new bulb. I've decided to add another star for very efficient handling of this issue and hope that I can raise the number of stars back to five by the end of this transaction. Review amended to 2 stars.
Update May 4/2015: Hyperikon did send me replacements and after changing out my landscape bulbs, the perimeter gates work again with their remotes at night when the lights are on! My garage gate still doesn't work at night because I still have the old bulbs in the house and close to the garage ceiling. I've just sent Hyperikon an email to confirm the new bulbs are fine and have requested that they change the rest of the bulbs. I'm confident the garage remote will work once again. I must say I'm very happy with the customer service so far and look forward to changing my review back to 5 stars when this is fully resolved.
Update May 28/2015: Hyperikon sent out additional bulbs to replace all the old bulbs and after two days I can now confirm both garage and front gate are now working. I'm delighted with this company and their product. Clearly, customer service is very important to them and they have proven that over the past weeks to make sure I'm taken care of in a way that is fair and straightforward. Without hesitation, I've now amended my review back to the five stars I originally gave them!
