3 out of 5 stars LED Output   August 28, 2010
Rodney (Bethel, Alaska USA)
When selecting an LED bulb it is important to check the wattage of the bulb and compare that to how you intend to use the bulb. Most LED incandescent replacement bulbs are in two wattages:

3 Watt, which is about equivalent to a 20 Watt incandescent bulb
7 Watt, which is about equivalent to a 50 Watt incandescent bulb

If you are familiar with compact fluorescent bulbs then you may notice the wattage equivalence is not the same. There is a difference in light output between a 7 Watt fluorescent and a 7 Watt LED. On the whole, you will need many LED bulbs to replace incandescent or fluorescent bulbs in the same lighting situation. A typical light in a living room, for instance, may use a 150 Watt incandescent bulb. In order to get somewhere near the same amount of light, that living room need three LED bulbs to replace the incandescent bulb. Finally, the type of LED bulb needs to be chosen carefully unless you are OK with a very blue cast to the light rather than the light orange cast of incandescents or soft white of the more popular brands of compact fluorescents.



5 out of 5 stars good light for the price   July 28, 2010
MY2Dogs (South Carolina)
I have this light in my office where I am on the computer, its in a ceiling fan above my head, its perfect for this area, it allows me to see what I need to see but its not overpowering, I read on the box you can leave this light on 12 hrs a day for a year for about a dollar, now that may vary due to your price per kilowatt but if I can run it for a while and it only cost pennies I have no complaints. Also it has a 2 year warranty.

I purchased 2 of these and put the other light in the kitchen, we leave that light on all the time, its great for your eyes when you get up in the middle of the night to get a drink or whatever. Bottom line if you need a little light and you want to leave it on this is a nice product, and its made by C.Crane they make tons of stuff for survival or innovative items.




2 out of 5 stars Dim blue light   February 9, 2010

Please note that this is a very dim bulb. I purchased Crane lights (including this one)about two years ago. Have not purchased any more since. It is NOT bright enough for reading. This bulb will work well as a porch light or such thing, but LIGHT IS VERY BLUE.

A high quality globe style LED bulb good enough for reading will cost about $40 - $50.00. If used a lot, it will pay for itself in a few years. If not used a lot, it will likely outlast you on this earth if you don't break it (say by knocking a lamp over).

NEVER buy an LED bulb without knowing color. 3,000 - 3,500 K is warm white (yellowish, usually favored for residential interior), 4,000 - 4,500 K is white tending to blue (good for office work, production line or warehouse, security light), 5,000 to 6,000 K is bluish (security light? I would avoid 6,000). The higher colors also tend to have 10% or so higher lumens outputs for same wattage in LED bulbs.

At present (February, 2010) LED bulbs produce about 35 lumens per watt, with light wanting to be projected in a linear fashion. A 65-watt par 30 incandescent light bulb produces about 700 lumens projected in a diffuse fashion.

I bought 2 of these at a very bargain price. Both failed to turn on after only a couple of weeks. LEDs are supposed to last around 100,000 hours. So, it maybe not the LEDs but the way it was manufactured. It also not very bright for such a number of LEDs in it.
