Pack of 6 - E14 LED Light Bulbs, ENNELP E14 Warm White 2.5W 2609 COB LED Bulb Crystal Spotlight Lamp Bulb Silicone 360 Degree Illumination Energy Saving Halogen Light Bulb Replacement -(Warm White)

The first thing I thought when I took delivery of these was, how are these little things going to fit in my lamps as the E14 designation suggests. The bulbs are small as shown in my picture but the light they give off is warm, as bright as needed for evening reading and the energy savings are as suggested good for the planet. The bulbs come packaged well and the information given is as expected from any bulb bought from the high street, the quality is great and the bulbs screw into the fittings flawlessly. For years my wife complained about the old energy saving bulbs and the time they to actually produce light once switched on, with these you get instant light and as I said its warm and cosy. Great bulbs, fantastic product.

They are nearly very good but I cannot reccomend these at all. I like the idea of a compact bulb without a glass bulb housing like traditional bulbs. I had a chandelier with 12 of these, no electronics or dimmers, and they have been going out one by one - about 1-2 per week. So I can estimate from the 18 I have had, down to 10 now over the course of 5 weeks. That gives you an expected lifetime of about 2 months... and the bulbs are only used about 4-6 hours per day... i.e. far worse than you get with an incandescent bulb. One came apart in my hands just from attempting to screw it in. To add to that, the colour is actually not very nice. It's an odd slightly harsh colour of yellow, it looks to have a hint of green; these are not very representative of a true warm yellow light with even spectral emmision; they are low CRI. Also, due to the very small size, these do not come with smoothing capacitors like some of the higher quality larger bulbs and therefore some people may find they appear to strobe; some are more sensitive to this than others, I find it fine but my wife does not. This is quite a typical problem with LED's but the major manufacturers' bulbs seem to suffer less from this problem.

Size is not quite SES fitting. Some if the bulbs do not work in standard sockets, I will try the suggestion of usung a file on them, but I do expect them to work out of the box.

I bought these bulbs primarily to try one in place of a 1.5W led that is currently in my bedside lamp. Whilst it's a nice light, for me it's not quite bright enough, hence the reason for trying these. They are listed as 2.5W yet the individual bulb boxes say they are 3W bulbs. I'm not sure what I was expecting with these, but my first impression was that they are quality bulbs. The design is curious but appealing and the hard silicon housing suggests that they are fairly robust. Light output was what I expected and it's brighter than my current bulb, which suits me perfectly. The picture shows rather a cool white light, but that's down to the white balance on my phone camera. It is definitely a warm white colour and is ideal for bedroom use. My bedside lamp is a straight switched variety, therefore I tried it in a touch lamp to see if it would work as they are listed as dimmable. Ordinary LED lamps struggle to light or flicker terribly in this situation, yet this did work, albeit with a slight but perceptible flicker on the lower settings. This is pretty good considering the touch lamp is meant for ordinary tungsten filament bulbs. Overall, I'm very impressed with these bulbs and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

I’m not sure how but I had not yet been introduced to LED bulbs until I got these. What I didn’t realise is they’re brilliant! Not only are they 90% energy saving they come on instantly instead of taking 5 minutes to brighten up like all my old energy saving bulbs. As well as instantly throwing perfect light out they also don’t get anywhere near as hot as your typical bulbs, and I’m assuming being LED they will last significantly longer! I have some really cool old style wall lamps that take two bulbs each side, so I’ve got 4 on the go and to spares - perfect! I couldn’t recommend these more if you’re fed up with trying to save the planet a bit but don’t like waiting in the dark for the bulb to brighten up!

I'm really impressed by these lights. When they first arrived not having used this type before i was worried by how small they are but this is clearly the next logical progression for light bulbs. Although small they feel really solid and with an impressive class a+ energy rating they are just as bright as there nearly twice as big old school energy rating D cousins. They also turn on immediately unlike the old style energy saving light bulbs.

Terribly only two of the six Bulbs worked. Don't waste your money.

These run very hot and one by one gave up the ghost over 2-3 months in use.
