I had high hopes for this bulb because of the price and some reviews. I was very disappointed.

1. I don't know how they can say this is a 40W equivalent. Even a 25W incandescent bulb looked brighter when I compared the two side by side in the same style lamps.

2. The incandescent bulb had a significantly better color output. The LED bulb had a bit of a greenish cast to it and the light distribution was not as good. See the photo I uploaded.

3. These are very expensive bulbs. For the price, I expected much better.

4. The metal part of the bulb does get pretty warm.

5. At least these are better than the cheap-o ones at Walmart, but at a much higher cost.

See the photos I uploaded.

Ok being a early adopter of this stuff I bought one of the 4w bulbs and 13 of the 6w bulbs about a year ago just when they came out after all the good reviews and hype. I figured these would be a life time investment and save me the cost of the bulb over time. Wrong!

Since then the frosting on the 4w bulb turned clear and now it does noting but through rainbows out around the edge of the light and the color looks off, just looks silly, next two of the 6w bulbs have started to buzz. I called the company to warrantee them since they where only 6 months old and got the run around telling me there are only certain dimmers they are compatible with. Funny I never saw that on any package or in there advertisement in fact you have to call the company to get that list it is not even on there web site. So basically I get the feeling they are not going to warrantee them and I got screwed. They have to know the globe not staying frosted is a problem and the buzzing is a issue since they knew right away on the phone how to stone wall me as soon as I said the word buzz.

Anyhow love the bulb the brightness is good had high hopes for this bulb but they are just not lasting so I wouldn't buy them again.

We bought two of these bulbs to try when they first came out. We promptly smoked one of them by trying to run it with an inverter providing a modified sine wave output. Don't try that! The company replaced that one for us, and the two have been in heavy duty use in a bathroom light fixture ever since. They're every bit as bright as a 40 watt bulb (measured by a light meter), and are cool to the touch. And they even have a bit of a "fade" when you turn them off, which is kind of fun. I'm about to order a couple more for lamps where we have CFLs.
