Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Westinghouse 3-watt G19 LED bulb features a patented polymer magnification and dispersion system. These LED lamps deliver smoother, more uniform light distribution, enabling them to be used in a wide variety of applications. The vivid color of the lamps are ideal for use in both indoor and outdoor applications, including signs, strand lights, lanterns, canopies, and pendants. Nanolux LED lamps are compact, water-resistant and shatterproof. They are the only LED lamps listed for use in wet locations. These lamps are guaranteed for 50,000 hour life at a minimum - the equivalent of over 50 conventional lamps. These LED lamps decrease high maintenance costs by reducing the number of times a lamp needs to be replaced. Nanolux LED lamps are economically effecient, environmentally sound and can be used on flashing circuits. They are available in 1 and 3 watt versions and can replace 7 to 20 watt incandescent lamps. They use 88% less energy and save up to $19.00 per lamp annually (based on the national average of $.10 per kWh).

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, but happy in the end, December 27, 2007

I had great hopes for our first LED bulbs - I bought 2 - specifically targetting them for our most used zone, our breakfast nook.

Unfortunately, these are...dim bulbs. Too dim to replace the CFLs we use now. I did not object to the blue color.

I had a back up plan, and we tried a bulb in our motion-detector front door light (only 1 bulb) but that was also too dim, not enough light for this location either.

The final step in the plan (and last chance) was to put these bulbs in our refrigerator, replacing the 2 incandescents inside (inside!) the cooling compartment. Finally, success! Our fridge takes 2 bulbs, and the 2 I bought provide just enough light and Vastly Less heat inside.

Bottom Line: These are dim, dimmer then you would think. You can find a use for them, but be prepared to keep trying locations until you are satisified.

2.0 out of 5 stars Like a 10W to 15W Incandescent Bulb, But VERY Blue, November 21, 2007

The light from this bulb is so blue that it seems like one of those bluish fluorescent lightbulbs that are used for fish tanks or raising certain plants indoors. I mean it -- it's BLUE!!

On the good side, it does seem durable, the spread of light is wide and even (just like an incandescent bulb), and its output is similar to a 15W bulb. If they would just replace the LEDs inside with "warm white" LEDs, this would be a good product.

I bought the Westinghouse Nanolux LED bulb and the CC Vivid 36 LED bulb at the same time to see which would work better as a low-power porch light. Even though both are rated at 3 Watts, the CC Vivid is noticeably brighter (though still not much) and has a 60,000 hour expected life-span instead of 50,000 for the Nanolux. However, it has a sharper cut-off due to the design of its base and is significantly more expensive than the Nanolux. Since I have both, the CC Vivid wins as the porch light, while the Nanolux might make adequate accent lighting.
