The LED lamp is very bright and has a very large viewing angle. I have my hand on the one hand held in the light of the LEDs and the other hand in a normal 35 watt halogen spotlight. The difference is very clear: The LEDs have a relatively cold clinical light and halogen spotlights a very warm cozy light. I run 2 halogen lamps and LED lamps in a ceiling light. Subjectively, the light has become a bit uncomfortable in the room. Recommended as a short illumination very but not really usable in the living room etc.. Because I would rather take up energy-saving lamps of Ecobulb. I can not provide long-term experience.
