Sits a little tight in the lamp socket (total length), but whenever I think of this bulbs indeed no longer be replaced. An extremely comfortable and bright light. As the old bulbs is already defective longer, I have a direct comparison is not, but darker than the original, it is definitely not. Also in the room tinkers a 23W Philipps Globe and the light color is with this LED strip quite comparable -. Both with respect to brightness, light color and color rendering. All in all, this is now very well coordinated. With the original lamps (60W) that definitely was not the case. Price is indeed fierce, but one expects that high on the consumption of conventional lamps, does not even need to count on the lower energy demand is.
