I have a long-term project to replace household electric devices with energy-saving ones. I bought this product to replace a 90W halogen bulb in a pendant lamp above a small round family dining table.There were a couple of good reasons to have chosen this particular product out of similar R38 LED bulbs:
- Brightness: To be comparable with the 90W halogen bulb, at least 800-900 lumens was necessary
- Dimmable: The lamp was on a dimming X-10 wall switch
- Slim shape: The pendant lamp has a large acrylic disk and stainless cylinders on top. I tried another LED bulb before, but its heat fins were so fat that the bulb could not fit.
This product satisfies all criteria. It dissipates little heat (now I can touch the bulb surface which was impossible with a halogen bulb!) and consumes much less power.
A few non-positive things:
- The bulb may show flickering if the dimmer is set to the maximum position. "One notch down" from the top position will remove flickering. I later replaced my dimmable X-10 switch with a mechanical relay switch so that this issue is gone and the light level has increased.
- The light beam is very narrow and spotty, barely covering our small round dining table. Shadows under the beam are very crisp and dark. I wish the product had larger lighting plain (i.e. more LED elements all over the downing surface).
- The light color is somewhat yellowish and not very natural. It is not ideal for a dinner table where natural food colors are expected, and it took us some two weeks to get used to it.
