I like efficiency. Again has anyone dealt with them and how was it?
I will stay with my 50 Watt MR16 halogen until I hear from you.
30 LEDs may operate slightly more efficiently than a single 3W Luxeon, but they'll take up a whole lot more space! I have a dual 3W Luxeon setup right now, and I like it. Beware though, the blue-white tinge of the light really does make it harder to see contrast in the road, compared to the yellowish light from a halogen.
I bought my Luxeons from Future Electronics, they were fine to deal with if you like the transaction to be completely robotic.
