Good evening Illinois, Ken, Rod, and Sean! 
Was a cloudy dreary day here with intermittent rain and 49°
Made for a great day to change some of the under cabinet puck lights, have 5 more to do.

Good evening Illinois, Sean, Ken, Shaun, and Rod!
Was a nice day here today, 56° and sunny.
Had hot dogs and s'mores on the fire pit, MMMMMMM yummy!
I have two more under cabinet puck lights to install tomorrow.
The LEDs are much more brighter than the low voltage halogens that we're replacing.

Good evening Rick Stayed inside and did inside house chores. Wife got up feeling sick and spent most of the day in bed. So I stayed close and quite.
I am converting lights as they need replaced and like my LEDs. One thing I have noticed is they are much more sensitive to voltage changes. Out desk lamp has 1 standard bulb, 1 CFL and 2 LEDs of different type. The flicker quicker than the others. but recover faster than the CFLs.
But the amount of light vs cost is better.

I haven't had any problems with any of our Leds, We have a few CFLs but I'm not a fan of them.
