Hi,

As mentioned in a previous post, we will replace some of the 85 halogen
bulbs (50W) in our house with LEDs. Despite all those bulbs the house is
seriously underlit. The standard 50W equivalent LEDs (4W) will not
likely cut it. We want to go to higher wattage or higher efficiency
bulbs. Electricity is very expensive here (Costa Rica) so the extra cost
of higher wattage or high efficiency bulbs will pay off. The bulbs will
need to survive the frequent power surges and the daily lightening storms.

Can some suggest some brands and specific bulbs that my wife can bring
back from the U.S.?

Thanks,
Gary

the only LED bulbs I got, were off Ebay, and disappointing.
The 2 watt bulb I use as a night light, in the bathroom.
The five watt "corn cob" light wasn't bright enough to
really be useful, gave it away to a friend who uses
it as a light over his computer. Whatever you buy, please
buy one to test, before you get several.
