Tools and Hardware Reviews of Westinghouse 03466 Nanolux 3-Watt G19 LED Bulb, White
Customer Review: Good LED, not bright enough for me.
Summary: 3 Stars
The LED produces a nice even light all around, which is great for the style bulb it is.
I purchased it as a reading light for my wife, so she could read in bed. She didn't want a bright light, but wanted a nice soft LED light that was in a regular table lamp with a lamp shade. Without the shade, it is the appropriate brightness, but with the shade (just a white shade), it is too dull.
I suggest using this somewhere where you need a really soft light, but the bulb will be shining directly on whatever you need. It also probably needs to be within 4-5 ft of whatever needs to be lit, or maybe if there are a bunch of these lights that could work too.
Customer Review: Good accent
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great bulb for accent lighting or using in multiples for a lighting fixtureCustomer Review: Good for a porch light
Summary: 4 Stars
Understand when you buy this -- it gives about the light output of a 15 W incandescent bulb.
That being said, I used it to replace a 15 W bulb as my front porch light and have been pleased with the results.
I previously had the 15 W bulb on a photoresist switch mount such that the light was only on when it was dark outside. This LED bulb was NOT happy with that switch (flickers on/off rapidly), so I removed the switch mount and the LED bulb is on 24/7. [That's still lower total power usage, so no problem.]
The bulb works well, even in sub-zero temps. It gives enough light to find the key hole on the door, but not so bright as to attract swarms of bugs in the summer -- exactly the right mix for a porch light!
It is bluish-white (compared to the deep yellow of its predecessor), but I don't mind that.
Customer Review: Good light, but dim
Summary: 4 Stars
As other reviewers have noted, this bulb is dim. I was wanting to use it to light a closet where a dimmer bulb would be fine, but after installing it, the bulb turned out to be too dim for the closet. I now use it in a lamp that is used like a night light.Customer Review: Great 3W bulb
Summary: 5 Stars
The bulb is great for a 3W bulb. I have a stairway with a single socket lamp that used to get hot with a 60W bulb in it. I replaced it with this 3W bulb and its bright enough to use the stairs at night. I can comfortably leave it on all night without using too much power and it stays cool.
