I use Cree LEDs and I see a bunch of ne models. I need 3000degrees or
under for nice warm light.
I am driving about 100ma or less with a small aluminum plate for
dissipation. Also use them in bath. They are ALWAYS on, and are on
battery backup. Like this....http://www.ledsupply.com/creexpg-ww105.php

I like my LED lighting too. I didnt care much for the little wall wart
power supply that came with them so I replaced it with a little 1 amp
brick type power supply think it was made by Sola. I dont consider
these task lighting, really more for general illumination than
anything else but 90% + of the time it serves the purpose so the
incandescent lighting is mostly used for kitchen clean up.

The same Cree led I use outside. I illuminate two trees with two LEDs
running 500 ma.
I want the new model in a 3 led something over 500 lumens for $16
bucks each. Trees light up more brightly because of the lens than with
a flood.
