When unpacking fell in one piece immediately that a LED strongly shifted and twisted is soldered. A total of 6 landing pads (presumably 3 per electrode pads) on the PCB was not contacted (Did the image of my copy of the product images on 02.02.2013 added loaded here has at least survived until 02/07/2013: [). Such a deficiency is probably easily through the optical quality control of the solder joints at the stage of manufacturing panels and then also by the soldering of individual circuits slipped through to the final product.
Had the "pear" the usual scattering glass had that defect would not even have noticed, since the twisted LED would very likely still shine. However, probably not long before the LED is not in vain 3 solder pins per electrode (homogenization of the power distribution).
The brightness of the second "pear" also remained unfortunately back below expectations. In direct comparison, the LED bulb could be in terms of brightness not argue against the conventional 40W, and this clearly. Perhaps my expectations were too high, while the LEDs are a substitute for 25W incandescent bulbs, but not for 40W, 35W and also not for specified. Everything only in comparison measurement, not an exact quantitative determination of luminosity.
My two candles I naturally sent back.
The one star more there is for the relatively high color temperature. A BUY recommendation I can not pronounce on this product.
