Toshiba is the Osram / Philips-dominated Germany as a lamp manufacturer (still) relatively unknown, but the market is also changing due to the growing importance of semiconductors for the lighting area. What is good for their E14er LED lamp?
The external appearance of the lamp is expected solid. Unlike a conventional filament lamp with the visible light transmissive portion of the lamp is less, which is under part enveloped by a plastic sheath.
The lighting effect itself is of course true perceptible only in the dark. First, it is striking that the lamp for 9,5W is very bright, the manufacturer specifies brightness as a 60W conventional lamp that comes back in any case. In fact, the lamp is subjective slightly lighter than their historical sisters with filament (the comparison specimens but also have a few years under their belts).
The light is a little less yellow, but with a pleasant white, not this glaring white art, which one often sees in cheap LEDs. From the brightness I'd rather use this lamp where you need bright light, or about, bathroom, kitchen, utility room. For a more subtle or indirect lighting I find it too light. Dimmable is the lamp (as specified by the manufacturer) is not, unfortunately.
Unlike the mercury-containing so-called energy-saving lamps these LED lamps do not require start-up phase. If you push the switch, the light is on, as in the good old light bulb.
Conclusion:
This gives here a lamp which makes a solid sophisticated impression. Unfortunately, the lamp (such as LED lamps in general) is still very expensive, and amortization is expected to take years, even with significantly lower energy consumption. As energy-saving lamps the environment and less efficient (Delayed Start), and classic light bulbs slowly die out (remainders are also here at Amazon - still sold), LED lamps, however, are no alternative in the long run.
