Good bulbs!…but “warm white”? Ahhhh!!!!…can anyone clearly describe light to someone else? I’ll try starting with describing the bulbs.The good:-Bulbs came packaged very well, no breakage, no duds.-The bulbs themselves are good looking both turned on and off. (They look better in person than the picture)-The outside fins are metal with a nice smooth finish.-Dimming is very functional from full on to very dim, even with my old fashioned push button dial dimmer switch.-Very bright, good light spread, similar to the halogens I replaced.-I am using them in a celing fixture that the bulbs are fully exposed. When they are turned on, some light comes through the metal fins and makes a nice pattern (not too much) on the ceiling.-Low wattage and much cooler than the halogens I replaced.-Price $7.45 ea. is a steal if they last awhile. (will update review if any of them burn out)The could be better:-They are described as ‘warm white’…um…not compared to halogens. I would say similar to flourescent light.-Slight buzzing sound (like flourescent lights) at all brightnesses, very faint, but definitely audible.Overall I like the bulbs and would recommend them to others, with the disclaimer that they are a ‘neutral white’ color. Not really ‘warm’ but not ‘cool blue’ either.
Exceeded all expectations I hesitated to purchase any LED bulb because I’ve used LED lights in the past and always felt the light from an LED did not disperse very well resulting in little ambient light outside of the focus area. However, my office in my new house was set up with 12 track lights using 50w halogens and I wasn’t interested in sitting under 600w of heat, so I took a shot by starting with 4 of these bulbs.I could not be happier that I did so. They put off as much light, if not more, as I’d expect from the “35w Equivalent”, and the lack of heat is exactly what I was looking for. The light they produce is more like what you get from a bright white or even a daylight bulb, so if you’re looking for soft white this may not be for you. However I actually prefer it to the light I got from the original halogen bulbs. The dimming on the lights works very well too. They don’t seem to dim quite as far as the halogens did, but they dim far enough for my taste and my dimmer does not go all the way to 0% power so that may be a factor. Overall I highly recommend these bulbs.
Good replacement for halogens I have gradually been replacing the halogen bulbs in my house with these. So far I have installed five – three in a mini track light from Ikea, two in a high-end ceiling fan. No duds in the lot. The light is definitely more of a bright white or daylight than a warm white. My wife likes it better than the original halogens. We have mottled off-white/light tan floor tiles. The LEDs make them look more white than brown compared to the halogens. The LEDs are exactly the same size as the halogens. The ceiling fan has fairly tight fixtures, and the LEDs fit without any problem.
