Tools and Hardware Reviews of Westinghouse Lighting 03490 Nanolux 1-Watt S11 LED Bulb, White

Customer Review: It is what it is
Summary: 2 Stars

If you need a night light to dimly illuminate an otherwise pitch dark space, this tiny bulb will do it, with next to no discernible heat and no noticeable effect on your power bill. At less than $7 for a bulb which should last for over 5 years of continuous use, it's an ok deal.

But it is not suitable for anything else. It's not enough light to read by; it's barely enough light to type by. The light is a grayish purple. I use it to give enough light to a windowless hallway to find my way out when the other lights are off, and it does that job well enough.

If you need enough light to tell floor from wall, and if you want a bulb that isn't affected by vibration, doesn't produce heat, and will work for several years nonstop, then this bulb may do what you need. Anything else, it's hopeless. To put this in perspective, with my head by the bulb and my bared foot just over 6 feet away, I can see that it's a foot but I can't quite tell toe from toenail. To get five stars, it would need to put out about double the amount of light; then it could serve as a desk lamp bulb.

Addendum: taking away a star because I went to consider buying another, and the price has been raised to almost $11. That's no longer a good deal. Hint to manufacturers and resellers: the price of tech items goes down over time, not up. If it goes up, you're doing it wrong and deserve to lose sales.

Customer Review: It was what I was looking for
Summary: 4 Stars

This was what I was looking for, but be mindful of what it is. This 1 Watt LED bulb has the equivalent brigtness of a 7 Watt bulb (and the 3 Watt counterpart is equivalent to a 20 Watt bulb). In my case, I was looking to turn a table lamp into a night light -- hence this brightness is about right (or perhaps a little too bright).

Customer Review: It's a night-light, nothing more.
Summary: 1 Stars

I will be terse since most people have covered this. I REALLY want to find a product that is close to CFLs, let alone incandescent, at a reasonable price. What this purchase proved to me is that the technology just isn't there yet. Soon, I am sure. However, this product is very underpowered and produces a blue hue. I do use the light in the hallway between the bedrooms in case people get up at nite!

Customer Review: NOT A S11 TYPE Bulb
Summary: 1 Stars

I could not say if the bulb worked or how it worked because it would not fit into my S11 socket.. huge disappointment. sucks that they are still advertising it as S11 after i contacted them and told them it wasn't.
