Tools and Hardware Reviews of Westinghouse 03466 Nanolux 3-Watt G19 LED Bulb, White
Customer Review: Nice bulb but very dim
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a very nice little light bulb but it's too dim for most applications. I put this bulb in a lamp in our family room. It's too dim to read by. I uploaded some images so you can see how it worked. To read with this light, the book would need to be about one foot from the bulb. Still, it's a cool little bulb, and given that it's only three Watts, the weak light output is hard to complain about.
Pros:
Only uses 3 Watts
Nice size and shape
Can be used outdoors
Cons:
Too dim for most applications
Customer Review: Westinghouse 03466 Nanolux 3W LED Bulb
Summary: 4 Stars
For close low light situations this lamp is pretty good. A desk lamp, especially with a downward facing shade. A range hood that uses 2 bulbs (1 LED light may or may not be enough). The light is white, not the warm yellow of incandescent bulbs, but I like the white light.
This can also be used in a table lamp that would be used as a bright night light that illuminates most of a dark 10x12 room, or for low level mood lighting. Not bright enough for me to read by, but my preference is for a bright reading light.
Recommend, and will buy again.
Customer Review: A very dim star

It is amazing that the quality of LED bulbs have not developed farther along. I have been experimenting with the various bulbs for a few years now and sadden to say that no major company has steeped forward to develop an LED bulb that puts out a normal light which is useful. I have led flashlights that will blind you and will spot you something at 75 feet. Why can't they do the same for househould led bulbs. I just ordered 4 more which may have promise. One set uses the Luxtron led which is what they use in the flashlights. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.Customer Review: Adequate energy-saving bulb
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought the Westinghouse Nanolux LED bulb and the CC Vivid 36 LED bulb at the same time to see which would work better as a low-power porch light. Even though both are rated at 3 Watts, the CC Vivid is noticeably brighter (though still not much) and has a 60,000 hour expected life-span instead of 50,000 for the Nanolux. However, it has a sharper cut-off due to the design of its base and is significantly more expensive than the Nanolux. Since I have both, the CC Vivid wins as the porch light, while the Nanolux might make adequate accent lighting.Customer Review: Too Blue, there are better options
Summary: 1 Stars
The sad fact is this "white" LED is the cheapest to manufacture. That's why we see all of these BLUE white lights instead of the very nice warm LEDs that exist. Did you notice all the LED Christmas lights last year? All very cold looking. Not what you want to see on a cold winter night. But they're the cheapest, so that's what they produce.
I would easily pay $30 for a warm white than $20 for cold white.
Also, it's way to pricey for the Lumen output.
You can get warmer, brighter, LED bulbs for much less.
