HI,

I'm looking for spot lights to illuminate pictures hanging on the wall. I'm currently using sylvania PAR 20 which is a halogen 50 watt bulb with a 10 degree beam. I would like something similar in an LED light to save heat and power.
For, example web searching, I found these:

But I am concerned about the color of the bulb. Does anyone have experience with LED bulds of this type, and if so, what do you recommend?

Roger

For accurate color rendition, you want a full spectrum or daylight bulb with a color rendition index (CRI) of 85 or higher; 90 is better. No bulb in your reference is suitable. You might also look at CF bulbs.
