I too am now switched in unerem Living on LED! Why? The main reason for my switch was the extremely low operating costs. This 7W energy saving lamp brings loose the specified brightness of a 55W incandescent bulb or a 45W halogen lamp. I was really surprised about the very extreme brightness, since I had only bissher 30W halogen in use. This is 7W lamp defnitiv brighter! Despite the opaque glass layer this LED is already glaring. The color temperature I find a bit colder (bluish / white) than the specified 3000K. Another aspect that caught my eye was the quality and stable processing. The materials used give me no doubt that this energy saving lamp through many hours (50,000 hours) with no problems. The LED also developed after some Beleuchtzeit not annähernt the heat as the replaced halogen lamps, this could no longer be touched very short time because of the heat.
Conclusion: In summary, I am very satisfied with this LED, although one of the purchase price at first sight seems very high, but this makes LED very quickly by the energy saved and longevity profitable.
