Pros: Very good light bulb. I bought this for outdoor use. I use it as a house number light. Light output is enough for this purpose and the light is nice white colour and pattern is ok as well. It seems to manage also cold weather (it has survived so far Finnish winter).
Cons: None really.
Low price, works well. What else do you need?
Bottomline: Very good choice. Build quality seems to be good and the bulb performs well also in cold weather conditions. With low power consumption this is good for long time usage like outdoor lighting.
This ia great pick

Pros: I really like this bulb omni directional. The color is very white and a reasonable replacement for a 40W bulb. It's not bright enough for room lighting but great for the garage, garage door opener and outside lights on motion detectors.
Cons: The housing is fragle. Be careful not to put too much pressure (torque) on it when you screw it into the socket or you will snap it in two. There are two thin internal plastic rods connecting the heat sync & globe to the bottom. I broke one very easily! It was interesting to see the voltage regulator card floating unharmed inside. I glued the two halves back together with PVC pipe glue. It still works fine. :-)
Other Thoughts: There are other bulbs that look just like this but teh color is slightly different. Enough that you need to note the SKU number. I tried to buy more o these and got sku 3010626 which has an orange tint which I didn't like.
They don't work in with a dimmer switch.
Bottomline: Love this bulb. Good for some places around the house. Need to wait for the 60W replacements to drop in price before I can convert the rest of my house lighting.

Pros: This is much better than the similar "3W LED E27 Light Bulb Warm White". This bulb is much brighter and the colour temperature is way better. Actually this is much brighter than I expected. Works fine in -15 C. I would rate this close to 40W regular light bulb...9W energy saving..
Cons: Not really nice colour of white. More like "harsh white" with little bit of blue. I would guess it is 6000K or more. I would not use indoors.
Other Thoughts: TIP: Do not put this light next to anything else (energy saving bulbs, regular bulbs) and you will get use to the colour of white it produces. Otherwise it is just too blue...
Bottomline: Get it for the outdoor lightning! Save energy!
Good bulb

Pros: It looks really good and feels well built! Mine works well. It makes my electricity bill smaller, and it should last years. Makes grate green gift idea!
Cons: It won't replace normal 60watt lightbublb but it's good for some places and purposes.
I don't no is this con, but I wonder is this really 3 watt or is just leds that 3 watt and then some electronic on it draw little too? I'm not sure.. Maybe DX can tell?
Other Thoughts: It won't replace normal 60watt lightbublb but it's good for some places and purposes. Maybe I buy another some day, but then I buy warm white. I buy this cold white cause I red it has more lumens, but I don't like that cold light..
Bottomline: It won't replace normal 60watt lightbublb but it's good for some places and purposes. Buy it if you want good looking and good working cold white LED bulb. I think I put this on top of my bed. Now it's on top of table, but it's not powerfull enough, barely.
