No idea. They are crap and I wouldn't have one in the house.

The LED bulbs I have used have been anything but "crap". They use 1/10th
the electricity of equivalent halogen bulbs and can be bought as flood or
spotlight versions.

They may well use less electricity. But if that's the only criterion for
domestic lighting a fluorescent tube will do the job rather better and for
less cost.

Where did I say it was the only criterion? The major objection from SWMBO
is that they are "too bright".

Way better than CFL and, as I mentioned, equivalent to halogen, in fact a
3W LED with SMD elements providers better illumination than a 35W halogen.
