Pros & Cons
Pros
Less flicker than halogen bulbs. This product directly replaces the halogen g8 bulbs in my 120vac under-cabinet puck lights.
They are dimmed flawlessly with no flicker. They fit my cabinets under my kitchen and they are perfectly bright like i like them! The connections are sturdy and it handles dimming well.
Check out the attached slo-mo video. These are fantastic. I hope they last. I like the natural light coloration.
The color of the light (2700k) is close to that produced by halogen bulbs. Other competing led bulbs in this size arrange the leds radially such that they point out in all directions.
Cons
The dimming is horrible and does not work well with my microwave. After the bulb warms up for a few minutes, it goes to 100% brightness. Also, the color index seems to be poor. It claims cri of 85+, but i think it's probably no better than around 60.
Highlights
Quality
Lights seem to be of quite good quality
Nice warm glowby far the most well built led replacement bulb i’ve ever used
My application was undercabinet lighting and many of those style of light fixtures have a highlow setting
Choppy more of a step dim then smooth
Price
And they are a very good value
I buy a lot on amazon… extremely happy with this purchase
A bit pricey for the size and wattage tho but happy and recommended
Cant beat the price ten for the cost of 2 at the big box store
Competitiveness
I recommend these for replacing the superhot and expensive halogens
First pic is dicuno g8 led left with another brand 2700k led g8 right
If you can see the other brand is more 3000k and the cri is off a bit which gives the paint color to the right of the coffee po... Read More
This not only fits way better in the puck but does not buzz like the other brand

Well have to see how long these last

It will probably work in a newer flashlight but mine is a “negative”…
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The nice thing about them is that the led emitters are all on one side of the bulb so all the light is projected downward onto the countertop area
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Unlike some of the others led bulbs that have emitters on both sides where you lose some of the light projected upward into the reflector and then downward and shadowed by the bulb itself
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Installing with the leds facing towards the reflector rather than having them exposed softened the light and had them looking more like 2700k as advertised
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I was worried this wouldn’t dim because none of the other g8 bulbs with 2700k i found would dim
