Better than many others but ...

For years I've been looking for an energy-saving alternative for my bulbs, especially in the living room. Here, I am not willing to accept a deterioration of the quality of light. LEDON indicates the color rendering index of several lamps with Ra = 90 and is hereby better, as some competitors, is reason enough for me to test this lamp.

To this end, I have next to each other directly compared a halogen light bulb and the LEDON lamp. The best color is described technically my wife unloaded. Asked about her impression she said: "That's funny, somehow the light is red and still looks cold." And this is where I too have a problem with the lamp. The light is definitely reddish and at the same bright white.

As an electrical engineer I have looked at the lamp precisely. In fact, can be found in the lamp 5 strong white and 4 red LEDs weak. White LEDs have mostly a problem with that, reproduce red color. The additionally installed red LEDs this shortcoming should be compensated apparently. I think the high-performance white LEDs have a color temperature of 4000 ° K probably just (neutral white), no light bulbs of similar color impression is determined by the addition of pure red with me but generated.

In defense of LEDON Lamp is said, which dimming works well. Also, that the color temperature is falls during dimming innovative and successful. Furthermore, the 10 W LEDON appear lighter as my 42W halogen or 60W normal bulb. After another LEDON Lamp was honored with the score of 1.7 at Stiftung Warentest in December 2012. All this may justify the significantly higher price compared to other LED lamps.

But I expect in particular in my living room cozy light of how my current bulbs. The reddish light of LEDON is for me here as a replacement, which is why the lamp goes into the cellar. I think that this lamp is definitely better than that of many competitors, the goal of a cozy lighting is still not reached for me but even with this high-quality LED lamp satisfactory.
