It's "only" a light bulb, so I'll keep it short. It is relatively cheap, very bright (60+ watt equivalent) and also does not make any noise, the radio also goes. The light color and brightness I nearly identical to a 53W halogen lamp. Objectively speaking, it could be considered a bit yellowish call. However, it is more beautiful and brighter light than a 20W-saving lamp. I also 8W LEDs in use, but they are much darker and much more reddish and are more suitable for lighting Islands. Oh and there is no perceptible delay in switching on or off, it's just once a maximum light. The base we but hot, handle longer no longer works.
