Light Type: LED
Light Class: 110V Replacement Bulb

These are really neat bulbs for 110V systems. You use them as direct low-output replacements for "normal" base light bulbs.

Body: The bulbs have a metal base just like a normal E26 base bulb (normal household bulb base), 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 white plastic dome. I could not get them open to see what is inside, but it is advertised as having a 1W LED tucked under the dome. The dome lights up evenly all the way around when powered up.

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. Use in hard to reach places would be a great application for these bulbs. I would strongly recommend against their use in conventional ovens or microwave ovens.

Per the seller these bulbs only consume 1.5W, so are very energy efficient.

Output: They aren't super bright but they are bright enough for accent lighting applications. The cool white, green, and blue are the brightest. Would be great for parties if you replace some of your lamp bulbs with some different colored bulbs.

What I Liked: Drop in replacement for normal light bulbs, vivid colors.

What I Didn't Like: None

Picky Little Things: None

Conclusions: Lots of applications for mood lighting or accent lighting. Beyond that I'm not too sure because of the low light output levels. They produce much less light than your average refrigerator bulb, for example. However, the colors are great and they just plain look cool.
