I have installed the product in a dimmable uplighter, mainly so as to continue to produce indirect lighting.
Due to the size you have to remove the existing cover plate made of plastic or glass completely. with me makes the size still no problems during installation, if necessary but this is to be observed when Bauscheinwerfern.
However, the lamp is as noted beyond the edge of the candlestick and you look under circumstances at a height of about 1.8m Light directly into the light source.
Although the luminous power with my previous 100W bulb is comparable to what makes me very happy, and the light is not too cold (although not quite as such as at daylight spectrum bulbs of the case) should be noted that compared to conventional lamps, the light-output downwards , in this case the lamp socket back is not sufficient. This structural disadvantage is certainly manageable.
Dimming: The lamp needs some starting time. Is selected depending on how high the dimmer at the beginning may be the 2-3 seconds. So do not scare at the beginning! :)
The lamp has been my observation is just in the top 50% of the dimmer setting actually dimmed. Among the voltage is no longer sufficient and the light goes out easily. In addition, however, you can see the lamp with a bit of tact and if one does not exceed the point at which it proceeds govern fairly. Somewhat I say because this is again not quite compare with the dimming of the conventional lamps. The dark shades are too close together and too close to the threshold for the lamp, as the attitude towards it went loosely by hand.
Conclusion:
+ Luminosity
+ Energy saving
- Size and shape
- Dimming still improvable
Overall, I am well pleased, because the negative points are not all to impose a lot and I still one for my purpose (bed reading corner) have proper illumination. And for a quarter of the energy!
