The light starts with a minimum delay (estimated 1/3 second).
So far I am satisfied and will buy a number of other specimens.
However, whether 50,000 hours operating time can be achieved, only time will tell :-)
Supplement 23.02.2013
I bought another 6 of lights. The light is but a little colder than a normal light bulb, but essentially ok
First I had the problem that the lamp (visible only in the dark!) Even after still glowed faintly greenish. At first I thought of phosphorescence of used light converter dye or a result of induction or capacitor residual charge. (Swap poles) The solution was to turn the connector: The LEDs obviously very sensitive and light up a bit for the pure concern of the phase without the circuit is closed via the switch. So you have to make sure that the switch interrupts the conductor ("L") (which one can not see directly with a cord switch) :-(
Addendum 10/05/2013
Today is (already?) Failed 1 of lights, although it was little used: Gesamtbrennbdauer far about 1 hour :-(
Something like this should not happen, so initially only ***. If you use - as I do - the lights a little to get, unfortunately,
quickly on the guaranteed limit before a vulnerability is visible
Let's see what the other lamps do and how the supplier DEL-KO handles the complaint.
(Late) Supplement 06.06.2013
The defective lamp is easily replaced and the Lord by the customer service was very accommodating.
The refund of shipping was likewise, only the accounting had to pretty much time :-(.
I recommend an original box for safety's sake lift because such long containers are rarely available
(Rolls are shipping expensive!).
I go first to a single defect and therefore give it ****
