Tools and Hardware Reviews of Westinghouse Lighting 03490 Nanolux 1-Watt S11 LED Bulb, White
Customer Review: Perfect Night Light for Hallway
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been looking for a low-wattage LED bulb for a night light that will be left on for most of its life. This product turns a hallway between bedrooms that would be pitch dark into an easily navigable area, and with little energy use and heat production.
This bulb will not light up a room like a standard bulb! Folks who gave it a bad review because it's too dim must not understand that this is a ONE Watt bulb with equivalent light output as a 7 Watt incandescent, which is pretty much a night light. This is made clear in the description.
Customer Review: Very dim bulb.
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought two of these to use as bulbs in the refrigerator. I like that they use almost no electricity and don't get hot...because really, why put a hot bulb in a cold place.
That said, the bulbs are pretty well to dim to be useful. I mean very dim. I mean, one of these bulbs as putting off less light than a single bulb on a Christmas tree light strand. Thought about sending them back, but didn't have the heart to. Thought about throwing them away, but considering how expensive they are couldn't bring myself to do it.
Customer Review: It is just not as good as an icandescent or even a CFL.
Summary: 2 Stars
The item specs are good on paper, unfortunately it just is not a good product overall. It is weaker in lumen production compared to even a 7 watt incandescent. the fact that it produced a ice blue hue doesn't help matters. Not recommended as anything other than accent lighting (keep in mind that the light is very very cool in temperature). It would have been great if the company selling this stated the lumen production and light temperature of the bulb in the listing.Customer Review: It's a night-light, nothing more.
Summary: 1 Stars
I will be terse since most people have covered this. I REALLY want to find a product that is close to CFLs, let alone incandescent, at a reasonable price. What this purchase proved to me is that the technology just isn't there yet. Soon, I am sure. However, this product is very underpowered and produces a blue hue. I do use the light in the hallway between the bedrooms in case people get up at nite!Customer Review: Dim but Functional
Summary: 3 Stars
It provides a dim but functional night light glow inside the refrigerator (if you have good vision). The low energy consumption and durability certainly makes this bulb useful, but the opaque white bulb color may be reducing the strength of the glow. A transparent LED bulb should be designed. Don't expect to use a dozen of these to even equal the strength of one regular light bulb.
