I got several of these at Home Depot-- there are two varieties, the 16PAR38, for indoor use, and the 16PAR38 OUT. I like them both very much.
I have the outdoor model in my outdoor floodlights, the indoor model inside. It's a little heavier than the incandescent bulbs it replaced, but quite bright. The outdoor model has a slightly bluer light than the indoor model, which is a neutral white.
They're a little expensive, but you can't beat the efficiency, if you want a floodlight (directional) bulb, for instance in an overhead fixture pointing downward, or possibly a reading light. Despite the high price, I expect these to pay for themselves in reduced electric bills, and I like the fact that they are Mercury free, so I think of them as quite a bit more environmentally friendly than CF bulbs. They come with a long warrantee, and I'll be happy about not having to replace bulbs every year or so.
Recommended.

Nice Lighting,

This review is from: PHILIPS EnduraLED 16W 120V PAR38 3000K Soft White Indoor Flood Light Bulb (Misc.)
I really like the white lighting produced from this new flood light. The bulb is heavier than conventional flood light bulbs. I like the design and it really looks nice in the ceiling. I had those energy saving curly cue bulbs with mercury but they were burning out in less than a year and the hazard if you dropped one. These lights are costly at $70.00 each but they may be cheaper in the lower-48's. I purchase my lights at Home Depot here in Anchorage, Alaska and hope Amazon will start carring them at a cheaper rate. I do recommend this product.
