If led lights take over I'll need an alternative eventually. The advantage of the old fashioned par 38 is that it has its own built in reflector and directs the heat. A standard halogen disperses it in all directions.

I did the same, I bought them out of the last ones on the shelf, I must have got about 40. They should last me a while.
