It's a dimmable so I compared it to the 40w equals, side by side, they looked about the same,
until we cranked the dimmer all the way up.. That thing is bright!
After about 5 hours on, I felt the heat-sink and it was too hot to handle,
for more than a few seconds. But, nothing like a 60W incan..
I wish that I had seen it on sale for $20. I paid closer to $30 for mine.
If I see them on sale, I'll get at least two more.
One living room table lamp and one in here (my PC room)..
