After 20W Tornadoes (useful, it may be a bit more light), I came across this 32W-Tornado.
Light. Warm white light and dramatically So the 150W equivalent can be achieved, if not exceeded. But ESL tend to dark for some time, so reserves are beneficial
Size: The size information here on Amazon are more cheese. So the lamp is almost exactly 15 cm long, to the spiral is not quite 7 cm at the base and not quite 6cm wide. Where the 18cm, come from the Amazon states, remains a mystery ... This product image corresponds to the way hair is equal to the present my product.
Product Name: On the plinth is Philips Tornado 32W T3, 2255 lm WW 2700 K (2255 lumen, warm white, 2700 Kelvin), then 'Made in China' and a undechiffrierbares "K 4J".
These specifications (eg 2700K) are missing in the Produktvbeschreibung (end 2014)
The weight seems to fit, LEDs in this size (with 13 W) are much more difficult.
Delay: Yes, the suffering of the ESL. When the tornado but this is bearable: With a barely perceptible delay are here estimated 50% light output available, the rest will follow within the next minute. That's for my purpose perfectly fine - and I know because products that are much worse (10% Felt at Home, full power for maybe 2-3 minutes).
Life: Well, with me a little unfair, because it is a closed spherical bulb, because it is already quite warm inside. A 20W-Tornado has held in there for no longer than 2 years, the 100-watt incandescent lamps that were inside earlier, but hardly even 1 year, sometimes much less - the room is very often a very long time used and, to the power savings compared savings bulbs have to be just outweigh the way I've calculated rollover moderately. Microeconomic so ok. Of course (overall ecological results in a disaster, because the energy that you have put into the production of new lamps (ESL or LED), are dramatically higher than in the old bulbs. But what good is it if no more bulbs may be sold ...)
Conclusion: Why I do not buy a better light than that stupid ball? Aside! Nope, fun: this tornado is in principle well worth the money. I give her time 5 star, also because the Tornado can not for the inadequate product description. But if they do not even last longer than 2-3 years, then will be marked down. I promise.
