This is what I have in my bedroom and bathroom. A total of 8 lights were originally needed.

2 have burnt out (1 in bedroom and 1 in bathroom).

GE reveal® halogen 75 watt PAR30 longneck floodlight 1-pack



Apparently these are no longer made. Discontinued.

What is the equivalent? I'd rather not have to replace all 8 bulbs, but I also don't want different color lighting.

LED BR30's is what you need.

5 LED BR30's ~= to 1 Halogen Par 30.

Bite the bullet. Do it.

If they are on a dimmer, you can see if your original dimmer works, but if not, you'll need to get an LED rated dimmer.

The halogen equivalent is now a 60 watt halogen/xenon mix the 60 w will have the same color and light output. You can also upgrade to an led

Cree bulbs are crap. Whatever you do, when you want to buy led lamps, go to an electrical supply instead of buying the crap they sell at Home Depot and lowes
