G8 LED Bulb Dimmable Mini 2.5Watt Daylight White 6000K 120V T4 G8 Base Bi-pin 20W Halogen Xenon Replacement, T4 JCD Type, Light Bulb for Kitchen Light (6-Pack)

Very bright white light lets you finally see what you turned the light on for in the first place. They run cooler and don't use as much electricity as the old ones do. I used them to replace the old ones in the vent hood over the stove. It was literally night and day in comparison to the dim orange-yellow light that was there before! It's easy to make the light fit into the socket location by trimming off some of the clear material if needed. The first photo has the exposure turned down to show detail. The next one shows how bright it really is. The last ones are how I modified them to fit the area.

Very nice, daylight temperature LED lighting. My preference to typical lower temperature lighting that I see as being too yellow. Also nice that it dims without any flicker (just one dim "Nite" setting on my microwave hood). That said, be aware of your bulb fixture, I expected plug and play, and it wasn't in my case. Typical Halogen fixtures may not allow for the mounting of these very nice LED bulbs without modification to the receptacle. The issue is that standard receptacles have a smaller rectangular cross-section base (where the glass seals against the pins) whereas the new LED bulbs have the same outside diameter circle as the bulb, a complete cylinder, all the way down to the bottom of their base. In the case of my microwave hood lighting, the pins on the new LED were too short/base was too large to use the existing fixture because the smaller rectangle socket didn't allow the larger diameter bulb to fully seat in the fixture. Likely many workarounds, one could use a replacement bulb receptacle made for this LED version; in my case I modified the existing fixture (by literally removing the built up rectangular portion of the base) to allow the bulb to fully seat.

Had to cut the silicone to size to fit our Samsung microwave. Highest setting works well. Our microwave has 2 brightness settings. The lower one causes these to strobe and flicker.

I tried these LED bulbs in an electronic coffee roasting machine (Behmor 1600+) that came with a dim, yellowish incandescent bulb. I wasn't sure if these LED bulbs could withstand the 400oF and above temperatures inside the roaster, but I gave it a try. So far, the first and only bulb I installed has done great, is very bright with a nice white light. I roast 1 to 3 batches of green coffee beans each week, with temperatures rising from ambient at start to a peak temperature of between 380-410oF that is held at the peak for 2 to 3 minutes. I am still on the first bulb, after roasting at least 10-12 batches. I am very pleased.

These are great LED lights and they fit the G8 bi-pin base perfectly. I had no trouble installing them in a pair of "halogen under cabinet" light fixtures in a book case. They are dipped in polyurethane to protect the LED chips which forms an envelope around the light mimicking the glass on a halogen bulb. Physically they are very similar in dimensions to the halogens they replaced. The lights themselves are two circuit boards at roughly 90 degrees to each other covered on both side with LED SMD chips as you can see in the pictures. The light is bright and seems to match the 6000K color temp advertised though I didn't actually test that.The reason I only gave them 3 stars is the dimming. I have full-voltage, rheostat-controlled lights and the LEDs don't linearly dim. They basically work at full bright or they will drop to a half-bright when the voltage drops sufficiently. I would call them more 3-level LED lights (full, half, and off). I was expecting linear dimming like every other LED with dimming support but this isn't linear dimming by any stretch. However... they bulbs do dim. Non-dimmable LEDs will barely dim then simply go out when put on a variable-voltage power supply. These at least accepted the wide voltage range and did, in fact, dim so I can't call them non-dimmable just because they don't dim linearly. They fit the definition of a dimmable LED, just not the expectations.Overall good bulbs and a great package price. If I ever need this bulb again I'll probably buy the same thing.

I bought these to replace the burnt out halogen cook top lights in my Samsung microwave. At first I was a little sad that they did not fit snug enough to stay in place due to the socket lip on on the microwave. I ended up using a knife and cutting away about a 1/8 of an inch of the silica gel to make the prongs just a little bit longer. This proved to be the key and the fit was perfect after that. They are such an improvement over the stock halogens. These LEDs are such good quality that I'm not looking for items to place the extras in.

2 of the lights are already out. Bad quality lights.

I wanted LED G8 bulbs for my older GE microwave and these look and work great. No issues with the high/low brightness settings. I did need to trim the soft rubber base on the bulb a bit to fit into the recessed rectangle socket. Afterwards, it snapped right in.
