Tools and Hardware Reviews of 2.8 Watt 60 LED Light Bulb, Warm White
Customer Review: Works Great but not 5W! Its 2.8W!
Summary: 3 Stars
This bulb compares well with other 2 to 3watt bulbs and the slightly yellow color is better than the blue/white of most.
The advertised wattage is the only thing that is clearly fraudulent. The only way to compare brightness on LED bulbs is their wattage, since the FTC doesn't require Lumens or any other standardized measurements be made for bulbs unless they are incandescent or Compact florescent(CFL). This bulb is advertised as 5W but the box and the bulb were marked "2.81W". Not something the seller could miss unless they wanted to sell more to suckers like me. Once you buy it, the shipping costs to return it and the restocking fees mean you're probably stuck with it.
Most buyers know that LED bulbs are about 2X as efficient at producing light as CFLs. Since CFLs are 4X as efficient as incandescent it folows as a rule of thumb that you multiply the wattage of a LED bulb by 8 to compare it to incandescent. Here a 5W bulb would equal a usable 40W incandescent. Really it equals a barely useful 22W bulb. Clearly they stand to gain by making this mistake, since more people could use a 40W replacement, but few would buy a 22W bulb.
DON'T BE A SUCKER- DON'T BUY THIS BULB OR ANYTHING FROM THIS SELLER!
