If you can direct me to or is there a conversion chart available somewhere as I have GU10+C Halogen bulbs and thinking of buying more but if I new what the replacement bulb in LED and can it be run on a 120v line then I certainly would like to try the LED.

We have purchased a few led light bulbs in the last month as a trial. The ones we received were small and in the fixtures they were put in, looked rather nice. But not knowing anything about LED light bulbs, how they are rated, what the out put is equal to, made me feel like a blind man without his guide dog. I'm still reviewing and reading everything I can get my hands on about this new way of lighting. I've used LED's in my maglight flashlight for some years and they are really great, eapecially since I worked mostly the night shift. Thanks for the information.

We've heard many of our customers complain about the exact same thing. On top of the mercury content that is a neurotoxin that fluorescents contain, LED are definitely the wave of the future and where things are going! Jennifer: Very true and thanks for the comment.
