Big BIG improvement over the previous fitments....

Nice and bright (at least in cool white/daylight)
And look fairly well made.... Though they MAY not fit in ultra slimline fittings....
Fine in our spotlights AND the ones that look like Douglas Hurds hair....
Not in the uber slim under kitchen cabinet ones though.

I prefer the soft white in my 3 front spots, my main lights have both with a changeover switch, I bought all mine from kungfu man ebay.

I have taken out most of my LED G4s and fitted Halogen versions. fed up with the constant flickering of the individual cells failing on and off.
I also found that they looked a bit silly as oversized for the fittings.

At least they will keep you warm.

As above.... No issues so far with these Barring one single stupidly slimline fitting

Have had them fitted for the past year and no problems so far, tempting fate!

We too have had that sort in our van for well over a year. They are the most reliable leds that I have tried so far.

Many thanks for the tip. I went for the warmer white ones, (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07C98BZMH/) and found them a huge improvement to the similarly priced ones I bought a few years ago. They are brighter than the ones I bought a few years ago and just slightly dim rather than flicker when the water pump is running, for example. However, they are too large in diameter to fit fully inside the spotlights in my washroom as they foul the translucent 'glass', which must be removed to use these.

Yup I had the same issue with the slimline ones in the kitchen

12v LEDs are designed to run on 12v. Not 13.2v or more. So they tend not to work well or die early.
Ideally you'll fit a regulator. Something like https://www.led-lighthouse.co.uk/le...rs/mean-well-50-watt-12v-dc-voltage-regulator
The price looks high, but will be recovered by longer bulb life and much less hassle.
