Tools and Hardware Reviews of CC.Vivid Plus 36-LED Light Bulb
Customer Review: A dim bulb!
Summary: 1 Stars
Not a replacement for a flourescent bulb! the advertised savings aren't really there with these bulbs. I bought some and was disappointed when they didn't give the same amount of light as a $.99 nite light. I cannot even read by their light, these bulbs are so dim! I love the idea of these things, and I'll have to see what products are out there which can outlast flourescent bulbs.Customer Review: A good small size.
Summary: 5 Stars
This product surprised me on how small it is. The bulb is great for small covered and/or recessed light fixtures.

Customer Review: About what I expected
Summary: 3 Stars
After reading the 2 previous reviews I wasn't expecting much light output from the bulb, so I wasn't really disappointed. The light output is about that of the coleman battery powered camping lanterns, which is to say not bright but "bright enough" when you really need light. While it is somewhat dispersed the light mostly seems to shine more or less straight out the top of the bulb, and so would make an excellent choice for a directed reading lamp. I will use it in my bedside table lamp since I really only need to see well enough to get dressed in the morning. You'd probably need 2 or 3 such bulbs to adequately light a small room such as a bathroom if it is going to be your main lighting source and not just an accent light. While perfect for "off grid" homes where extreme measures of conserving energy are crucial, the price would have to come down to make sense for most of you.Customer Review: Almost ready for prime time
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased the bulb for a porch light. It IS a bright white color, but it is focused downward and not wide enough for an area light. There is a big contrast between the very WHITE bulb and the incandescents nearby. I'll probably keep it there just to see how the energy usage goes.
So close, and yet not quite there for a utilitarian type bulb that LEDs will be someday.
Customer Review: At least the power consumption is low
Summary: 2 Stars
Bought this because it promised to turn any light into a low consumption light. Achieved. Didn't mention I would have to use a flashlight or candle as backup to actually read on paper.
Ups:
I ended up changing a very dim 11 watt CFL which drew 8 watts and illuminates exactly the same, but now I only use 2 watts (according to my kill-a-watt). It's a conversation maker, sometimes people ask about that odd bulb on the lamp. No glass helps prevent breakage.
Downs:
Way too dim, the power I save doesn't compensate for the price (or at least not in the near future, maybe my grandchildren will see the break-even point happen?).
In general, after reading the other reviews wasn't surprised, the description is somewhat misleading. Would recommend to stick to CFL's if you want to be eco-friendly and wallet-friendly at the same time.
