Tools and Hardware Reviews of CC.Vivid Plus 36-LED Light Bulb
Customer Review: Good for Reading
Summary: 4 Stars
I use this bulb as a bedside reading light, mounted on a flexible arm to aim it. Sufficient for reading, and more efficient than other bulbs. I use CF bulbs elsewhere when more light required.Customer Review: Good for the price relative to other LED bulbs
Summary: 4 Stars
I ordered 6 of these after reading the other reviews. I was under no illusions that they would be bright, and so was not disappointed that they seem to be about 40 watt equivalents. I installed three in a downstairs bathroom and at first thought that the person who talked about a dim night light was right - then I realized that the bulbs were flowing faintly even thought the light switch was off. If they seem very dim, try turning on the light. Apparently with some (not all) sockets, they require so little power that they glow faintly even when the unit is not actively powered (so my bathroom now has very dim night lights even when the power isn't on). Don't expect bright lights, but especially for multiple bulb units, these make a good compromise until the price of LED bulbs comes down.Customer Review: Great LED from C.Crane
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought one bulb from this seller and it's great. Now that I've tried it out and seen how LED's can be used in the right situations, I' going to buy more. I also contacted and worked with the service department. They were responsive and helpful.Customer Review: Great for the garage door opener
Summary: 5 Stars
I used this to power a garage door opener that was chewing up standard bulbs once a week, I've had it in there a couple of months and so far it's doing great. The brightness is not as bad as I was expecting, it is plenty of light to get into the house from and I have other overhead lights in the garage if I need bright lights. I would recommend it, I'm thinking of getting more for hard to replace bulbs in hallways too, since the LED should last a very long time (longer I hope than the China made compact florescent, 5 years right, luck to get 24 months out of them)
UPDATE ***
Couple months later and this light is still going strong, never had another bulb last this long, can't wait till LED's are bright enough and low cost enough to replace all the lights in my house.
Customer Review: Great for the small area where a light is needed on all the time.
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm on a energy efficiency mission. Upon moving into our recent house, I switched everything (my wife would allow) to florescent or compact florescent. Now I am looking to replace the remaining that is on dimmer or that we need to leave on for extended periods of time.
This works great in the bathroom as a night light and in the hallways. That's what I use it for. Its enough to see and be safe. The output is equivalent to a 40 watt normal bulb. We are very happy with the performance.
The manufacturer must have made modifications since the previous reviews. Our bulb has a refractive globe which diffuses the light in all directions rather than just shining downward.
If you are looking to guide in aircraft, this is not your bulb. If this is what you are looking for, wait for the "Geobulb" by the same company. It is expected to hit the market Fall 2007.
