Hi all, most of you are like wizards to me. You have all this knowledge of electronics that is probably very basic to you, but it's amazing to me.

Anyway, what do you think of this MR16 replacement?

It's listed as "new" but who knows how long "new" lasts? The point is, it seems new to me @ 4watts instead of the 3 I've come to expect from MR16 LED's.

Wizards - your wisdom please...

So, I found out a couple things about this LED. It's not available yet, but it is expected to cost about $89. I looked at another quite a bit like it and compared it to the Ushio (same brand) Halogen ESX 12v 20W 12 degree. There was no comparison. The Halogen was much brighter looking. I think I can burn up a couple of these while I wait for the "Synergy's" cost to come down. It will be interesting to see the bulb though. It will be dimmable and comes in a spot.
