Great bulb,
This bulb works great for me. I have two of them, one on a First Alert PIR725 Motion Sensing Socket and the other on a regular wall switch. Both work fine – instant on and bright. I also own the ThetaLux – 9 Watt LED Light Bulb version of this bulb. I used the Extech HD450 Light Meter to measure the light output and can confirm it puts out more than the 9w version.
As far as I know, this is currently (Dec 2011) the brightest A19 E27 base (standard light bulb) LED replacement bulb.
One of the bulbs has a slight hum/buzz noise coming from it, not unpleasant, but noticeable within 3 feet of the bulb. It’s fine for most uses, but I wouldn’t use it as a reading lamp.
The bulb is heavy and may topple small fixtures like the Lite Source LS-211WHT Goosy Desk Lamp. 5000K light color is a little on the stark side for me, I prefer 4000K. But I’d rather have 5000K than 2700K which is too yellow for me. Light output is also more directional than a CFL or incandescent. You may not like this bulb (or any directional bulb) in a fixture that’s supposed to illuminate a room, like an ceiling light. Directional bulbs are better suited for desk lamps.

|Very Bright Led House Bulb!,
This evolux 1000 lumens bulb is bright, a very clean white illumination, no cheapie Leds here. This bulb is heavy for a light bulb, it feels well made and solid. It got hot after 3 hours so I changed location and it did NOT reach that temp again. Must have been an old lamp or incorrect wattage.
This light works best when hung from a ceiling socket, its still effective on a table lamp but not optimized. I cant wait for the prices to fall so I can add this bulb to every room. For now this $25.00 bulb proudly displays itself in my home office. Buy this Bulb here on Amazon and get it quik, and get it cheaper!
Amazon is a blessing!

|very bright, good color,
i bought this as a test to compare to a couple 6 watt LEDs i bought. this bulb is very bright, and when used as a directional bulb (i use mine in a floor standing torchiere where the bulb points up) it seems like a 100 watt incandescent. as with other LEDs, it doesn’t do much light to the side, so if you use it in an area that needs light in all directions you’ll probably be disappointed. i had hoped to put these in can light fixtures, but the heat sink ‘fins’ on them get very hot, and although it’s still cooler than the 18w CFLs i have in my can lights now, i think i’ll wait until they get cooler for that. as for the 5000K, i personally love the light it puts out – i’m not nostalgic for the yellowish light that incandescents put out, but prefer to have light that approximates daytime, it makes SAD less of an issue in the winter and colors looks brighter. in my personal opinion, LEDs give off a more ‘solid’ light than CFLs (kind of hard to describe what i mean), which i like also. so, bottom line for me, great light output, disappointing heat when touching the fins, priced too high right now for me to buy more than the one. if the improvement curve on LEDs is similar to CFLs, these should be just about the perfect light bulb in about 18 months.
