Packing:
The LED light is unnecessarily onerous plastic inserts, films, etc. in a tailor-made cardboard box without the environment delivered.
Brightness:
Immediately after turning on the lamp is immediately 100% light. The intensity of the brightness pleasantly surprised me. You can compete in a direct comparison with the old 40W bulb not only, but exceeds these clearly my feeling. Both the LED lamp itself and the surroundings are evenly illuminated. Therefore, works well as backlighting or as a bedside lamp.
Color Tone:
Here the manufacturer has done a great job. In direct comparison to the rather cool hue older 4W Candle LEDs from the same manufacturer of color is now more pleasant, definitely it is the declared warm white very close.
Price / performance and energy consumption:
The LED luminaires Lighting EVER for me. Mainly because of the low price a very good alternative to the local home improvement and discount offers I had as yet no LED malfunctioning or reduced life (some LEDs have with me already several 1000 hours burn time behind).
Based on my experience so far consistently good with LEDs, I'm going to gradually convert even more lights in the house on LED. The most important argument for me is this the significantly lower energy consumption in the meantime really homely light shade. 5,5W 40W instead means 86% savings in energy. If there are several lamps, makes quite noticeable and justify in view of the prolonged life and the higher compared to incandescent or halogen lights purchase price.
