As a replacement for a 13W energy saving bulb, which grew darker over time, I have now used this lamp. It radiates above the dining table, and goes above and beyond daylight. Since it would have done a 11W LED, but I had no previous experience with such lamps. The color temperature is a pleasant white without yellow tinge. The viewing angle and the luminance distribution are also a large table is more than sufficient. Rather a dimmable lamp for different brightness requirement then probably recommended.
