G7 Power True Color LED 90 CRI 15 Watt (60W) 835 Lumen BR30 Recessed Light Bulb, Dimmable 3000K Soft White Light

Screen Shot 2014-08-14 at 12.23.47 PMI’ve been holding off on the LED lighting revolution for a while, since I really didn’t like the quality of light from some early products that I tested. They were also very expensive, which made me even more reluctant to invest into something that I was not too keen on to begin with. However, the technology has come a long way and some of the recent products are every bit as pleasing to the eye as the familiar incandescent lightbulbs. The prices have also been coming down, so there is very little reason not to jump on the LED revolution bandwagon.

This 15 Watt G7 warm LED light bulb gives off a soft white light that is very sharp and well defined. It even feels brighter than the equivalently rated incandescent light bulb. The bulb seems really well made and it fit the flood light socket perfectly. As an additional feature, this light is dimmable, which is a great feature to have. I am not the biggest fan of the soft white color of this light though. I’ve discovered that, for me at least, the light bulbs in the 2600 K to 2900 K “temperature” range have the most pleasant look. However, this light bulb is still not too far off from that range, and its color is more than acceptable for me and my purposes.

I have not used this light bulb long enough to be able to ascertain how much of a saving it really is. I have no reason not to believe that the savings can be substantial, and some of the estimates are given on the packaging that comes with this light bulb. One of the main reasons I like the LED light bulbs is the fact that they don’t need to be replaced very often. (The estimated life of this light bulb is over 22 years.) That comes in handy especially with the flood lights – most of mine are in not-easily-accessible places and less work I have to do replacing them, the better.

Overall, this is a great light that will probably save you a lot of time and money over the years that you own it. Highly recommended.
