Grey Men in distant Brussels have banned us, to buy normal bulbs. They did not ask us, and we can defend ourselves more than the fact that we drive the allied country that is not part of the European Economic Community. But so often you did not go now into the distance. Since my stock of "right" light bulbs now is virtually exhausted, I need but every now and then substitute ... and this product of Müller-Licht has certainly its good points: - It does not take long until the full light intensity is there - these are just seconds, the LED shines with full force. - The price of about 8 Euro's if the rated life of 20,000 hours is true about, not bad. A classic incandescent lamp brings it to 2,000 hours and cost a little less than one euro - ultimately it will backfire on it. - The light is pleasant white (without being blue or yellowish), yet not garish. What I want so did not like, because it supposedly is to protect the environment at the prescribed by the EU bulbs, is the blister pack in a clear hard plastic, solid round welded. It takes a strong household scissors to get to the bulb, and then you are doing the environment a favor to have to throw another totally unnecessary oversized plastic packaging in the garbage. The same product in a simple cardboard box - that would be worth five star wholeheartedly. So just a little half-heartedly, because 4.5 is not. My conclusion: In the long run man saves electricity costs with this product without significant amount of money when lamps simultaneously. The whole in a reasonable package would be a huge success.
