I bought the lamp in February 2014. So it is about 9 months in continuous approach: in the kitchen. I am searching since 2-3 years LED lamps and had different experiences with LED lamps. That's why I had my doubts whether this LED lamp is bright enough. And she does it perfectly! The beam angle is indeed how many LED lamps quite limited, but I did not realize before buying and I can live with it. The price / performance ratio is very good. So good merchandise, can only recommend!
