Tools and Hardware Reviews of Westinghouse 03466 Nanolux 3-Watt G19 LED Bulb, White
Customer Review: Its good - but only for specific uses
Summary: 4 Stars
I like this bulb as a "bright night-light". I think it is good if that's what you want and you are fine with the white bluish colored light. If you are expecting greater light output or warm white light, then you will be disappointed.
Pros:
* The spread/distribution of the light is better (more omni-directional) than typical for LED bulbs
* Indoor or Outdoor
Other:
* Easily noticeable blueish color
* Brightness seems just a bit brighter than a 4 watt incandescent night-light bulb
I also found a nice use for them in my fridge. They aren't as bright as a 40W appliance bulb, and are bluish, but they sure do generate a lot less heat!
Customer Review: Almost Too bright!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not sure what the other reviewers are talking about. This light is BRIGHT! I have a breezeway between the garage and house where the vast majority of people enter. I wanted a light I could keep on all the time for guests and myself (trying to put your key in the hole in total darkness really sucks).
So, for 3 watts, I figured I could keep it on 24/7 without much impact. I wanted something fairly dim that would just allow me to see the door & lock. This light is almost too bright and illuminates all of the breezeway and some of the driveway.
I wouldn't use it for task lighting (too dim) or a night light (too bright); but as an entryway light, it's superb.
Customer Review: Night light more powerful than these.
Summary: 1 Stars
These bulbs are quite dim. Conclusion: Wait until LED's improve or try another brand.
We have a pair of porch lamps. After replacing one 13W CFL with this LED bulb, my wife said, "...Is it on?.." Comparing them side by side, the CFL has about 4x the (visible) light output, and about 4x the wattage, so the LED seems to have equal "eyeball" efficiency to the CFL.
If you are only concerned about getting your key in the door, this is probably acceptable. But for any kind of security, move on. I am trying to envision an indoor application (because I bought 5) but cannot. Unless you are living off the grid and concerned with every watt, pass.
Customer Review: Good LED, not bright enough for me.
Summary: 3 Stars
The LED produces a nice even light all around, which is great for the style bulb it is.
I purchased it as a reading light for my wife, so she could read in bed. She didn't want a bright light, but wanted a nice soft LED light that was in a regular table lamp with a lamp shade. Without the shade, it is the appropriate brightness, but with the shade (just a white shade), it is too dull.
I suggest using this somewhere where you need a really soft light, but the bulb will be shining directly on whatever you need. It also probably needs to be within 4-5 ft of whatever needs to be lit, or maybe if there are a bunch of these lights that could work too.
Customer Review: garage door opener bulb
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought one for my garage door opener. It is dim but enough light for me to get out of my vehicle and in the house safely. My cat likes to chase mice in the garage at night and leaving a dim bulb on hopefully gives her an advantage. So far it has been a winner all the way... low watt, just enough light, and hopefully out lasts the short lived regular bulbs. My garage has 4 100 watt bulbs in the regular lighting system for when I need to see... like unloading groceries. Over six months now and it has made me happy all the way. If it lasts a few years and saves me a couple trips up & down a step ladder then it will fully deserve 5 stars.... only time will tell.
