This review is from: Westinghouse Lighting 03490 Nanolux 1-Watt S11 LED Bulb, White (Tools & Home Improvement)

This light is advertised as a 1 watt LED bulb. I bought two of these a while back ($12.50 each) to help reduce our electric usage. I run most of our house on solar so every watt helps.

I already have a ton of energy efficient bulbs, all of which were Compact Fluorescents. The closest bulb I can compare to this 1watt LED is my 7watt CF bulb. What surprised me is that it was clear that 7 of these LED bulbs wouldn't output as much light as my single 7watt CF bulb. This surprised me considering LED's are supposed to be more energy efficient.

So what I did next is measured 2 of these bulbs over two days using my kill-o-watt meter. My killowatt meter shows 0watts being consumed even when measuring both of the bulbs combined, so clearly they are using less than .5 watts each. After measuring total watt hours consumed over two days and running the numbers, I found they were each consuming around 0.3 watts of electricity. This means I can run almost 25 of these and still use the same electricity as my single 7watt CF bulb. 25 of these would definitely have more light than the single 7watt CF bulb, but that would also be very costly... $300! These are best for specific places, anywhere a dim light is useful.

I like the bulb because it's so tiny and consumes almost an unmeasurable amount of electricity. It also doesn't require mercury like CF bulbs do. The light output is low, but about what I expected since I read the other reviews. I'll be buying the "3 watt" version sometime in the future and will post how many watts the 3watt version really consumes and how it compares to this "1 watt" bulb.

NOTE: The reason why I gave this only a 3 is because this isn't really a 1 watt LED bulb, it's a 0.3 watt LED bulb advertised as a 1 watt bulb. It's also somewhat on the blue side. If the price drops a lot, I might get more of these.

4.0 out of 5 stars It was what I was looking for, December 15, 2007

This was what I was looking for, but be mindful of what it is. This 1 Watt LED bulb has the equivalent brigtness of a 7 Watt bulb (and the 3 Watt counterpart is equivalent to a 20 Watt bulb). In my case, I was looking to turn a table lamp into a night light -- hence this brightness is about right (or perhaps a little too bright).

I have been looking for a low-wattage LED bulb for a night light that will be left on for most of its life. This product turns a hallway between bedrooms that would be pitch dark into an easily navigable area, and with little energy use and heat production.

This bulb will not light up a room like a standard bulb! Folks who gave it a bad review because it's too dim must not understand that this is a ONE Watt bulb with equivalent light output as a 7 Watt incandescent, which is pretty much a night light. This is made clear in the description.
