These are really neat little night light-based bulbs
for 110V systems. You use them as direct replacements
for those little 4W bulbs that blow all the time and
are found primarily in night lights and sometimes in
refrigerator doors where the water/ice dispensers are.
Body: The bulbs have a metal base just like
a normal E12 base bulb, but have a white plastic area
at the top of the base which contains the circuitry.
Perched on top of the white plastic base is a surface
mount LED with a clear plastic dome over the top for
protection. The LED has a uniquely shaped plastic diffuser
cylinder with a cone cut out in the center of the top.
The result is that the light projected up by the LED
is then fired out in all directions, 360° around
the bulb as well as over the top, simulating an actual
filament.
The bulbs are available in a variety of colors including
cool white at around 6500K, and warm white at around
3500K. The big advantage to using these lights is that
they should never need replacing. If you are familiar
with using those little 4W night light bulbs, you know
they seem to pop all the time.
Per the seller, these bulbs only consume 0.75W, so
are very energy efficient.
Output: They aren't as bright as a normal 4W
night light bulb, but they're bright enough for nightlight-type
applications. The cool white and green are the brightest.

What I Liked: Direct replacement
for those little 4W incandescent bulbs that blow all
the time. Comes in a variety of colors.
What I Didn't Like: Not quite as
bright as the bulbs they replace.
Picky Little Things: None
Conclusions: I like them! A very
nice substitute for incandescent night light bulbs.
Seems to fit in sockets where any of the common night
light bulbs would be used. The colors are very vivid
and produce a nice effect when used for accent lighting.
Lots of potential uses. Amber ones could be used in
holiday electric candles, etc.
