This is a well-designed and sturdy 'bulb', but don't be fooled by the shape - the light is VERY directional so this won't replace most table lamp situations. Light output is about that of a 5-watt incandescent, and it's not dimmable.

I have seen some 3 watt LED bulbs that emit as much light as a 20 watt incandescent--this isn't that bulb. This bulb is about as bright as a 10-12 watt incandescent.

The idea was to use these for ambient lighting while watching movies in our living room, but the light is too directional to be of much use. There is a very strong blue hue to the color, which makes it very unnatural.

That said, the price is appropriate for what you get. Don't think this is a steal because the price is low, these aren't as bright as many of the other more expensive LED bulbs available.

I used this in my spare bathroom as a night light when visitors came. I got two of them. One is still working. One came apart when I screwed it out of the light fixture. It seems the wires that attach the LEDs to the circuit board twisted off when I screwed it out. Rather than fix it, I'll get another type. The light was fine for a night light, while it worked.

I bought these lights thinking I was going to save electricity over night, literally. I have a lamp post that turns on automatically with a photosensor and you can't use CFL. When I got these, I put them on the next day and nothing. You see this dim blue light in the globe of the lamp post but it doesn't light much. I need something brighter.

The title tells a lot. The color is around 6000Degrees Kelvin (blue white) The size is around that of a 25 watt incandescent.

You'll do much better with some A19 bulbs from TheLEDLight.com. They have bulbs that use 5W but are as bright as a 50-watt regular bulb. A19's have good light dispersion, and run much cooler and more efficiently than CFL's. After replacing the bathroom 8-bulb set & the living room main light, I'm saving 20% of my monthly electric bill.

I was resoundingly unimpressed by this bulb. I was expecting a 3 watt LED bulb to provide enough light to be a desk accent light. Unfortunately....the color was completely wrong (very blue) and so dim that its only viewable when used in complete darkness.

This product uses 3 watts and makes the equivalent of a 20-watt regular incandescent. ----- That's no big deal. I have a compact fluorescent bulb that is slightly higher in wattage (5) but also a lot brighter (25-watt equivalent) and with a much, much better color (it's pure white).

I'd suggest passing on this LED bulb and instead searching for the 5 watt compact fluorescent, because it's a superior product (costs less too; about $4 per bulb).
