A 100 watt LED screw-in lamp bulb burns too hot otherwise given current technology, but I'm sure that will eventually change. From what I've heard and seen the fan isn't obtrusive, but individual tastes will vary I'm sure. I'm planning to order one of these myself to see what it's like, and will comment on the fan sound. Thanks for pointing me to the Pharox LED's...I'd not seen those before and will give them a try too! Indeed the Evolux bulb does have a tiny fan.

They buzz from a fan that's inside. There are much better LEDs out there. I much prefer the Pharox LEDs to replace my 40 watt bulbs or the PAR 20 bulbs to replace the 60 watt (I've gotten them mostly from www.LEDinsider.com and www.Eaglelight.com). They have brighter bulbs too, but I don't like them as much. LEDinsider has a great LED savings calculator too - http://www.ledinsider.com/ROICalculator/ No matter where you find the LEDs (and even Amazon is selling them now) it's good to switch. I've been using them for about a year and the quality is getting better and the savings too. I don’t like the Evolux bulbs at all. They buzz from a fan that’s inside.
