Pros:
Extremely Cheap. Decent build quality. SO FAR not getting dimmer and does not get hot. Does get slightly warm but the metal shells seems to be able to keep up with the heat load.
Cons:
It is VERY warm. slightly less warm would have been perfect but its NOT bad especially when used inside of a diffuser such as a milky glass dome etc..
Other Thoughts:
Have not checked the power consumption yet (seem to have misplaced my meter) will get on that at a later time.
Bottomline:
SO FAR running in excess of 4+ hours a day it seems to be working well. At this price its worth getting even if just to play around with and the rosy warm color is pleasing to the eyes.
