These lamps would get from me 5 stars, if I wanted to use them exclusively for the "standard" lighting of our living room. The light output is really good and definitely comparable to a 25 watt bulb. Unexpectedly, these bulbs are incredibly hot ... Since I use the lamps for our chandeliers and a dimmer are using this not really suitable for my application. After all, the "dimming" of the light source is not really to use as between "full power" and "minimum power" hardly any difference of luminance is. I think that's a bit annoying, because this function is very important to me. The flickering of the lamps when dimmed I could not really find most when setting affects the whole not so infinitely like a light bulb.
CONCLUSION: Super bulbs which I, when little attention is paid to the dimming function, can highly recommend!
