Super bright! Super cool!
Purchased these to upgrade the lighting in a 50-year-old house with limited overhead lights and much of the lighting via 50-year-old table lamps. 15 minutes after installing them went back and ordered more for the rest of the house! Six of these will easily light 1,000 ft² PROS This bulb runs cool enough to be used upside down in a totally enclosed light globe without creating dangerous heat. After hours of on time the globe and metal base are cool enough to be safe to the touch. The bulb runs even cooler in a traditional upright lamp application. For a bulb with this much light output the size is very good. The neck is long enough to fit into very old lamps without any clearance issues. The bulb is still short enough to fit inside of some very old ceiling fans that typically have clearance issues with brighter lights. CONS The bulb uses a hollow core design which greatly aids in keeping the bulb cool. However the open top design creates a dark circular shadow and a light output when viewed directly head on. The light output color is extremely white which may be somewhat harsh or off-putting in some areas where a more natural daylight color tone may be desired. These bulbs are super white. The lifespan of this bulb is still to be determined. Paid review: No Would purchase again: Yes Read more
