But, if it lasts as long as it is supposed to (50k hrs), I'll be quite happy with the purchase.
I did the same type of replacement for a fixture over my mother's kitchen sink.
An 11 Watt LED replaced a 75 W filament bulb. Even tho it wasn't as bright, the 'whiter' color temperature is preferred by Mom, and she's happier with not having a heater above her head.
