Low profile, easy to install. Very bright - it hurts to look directly at it. The color is warm white, but the CRI is not as high as other high-end LEDs. However, I specifically wanted a bright replacement for the earlier glass body light that came with my house, which would result in both CFL and LED lights failing within a year due to heat. I use this over my kitchen sink and I want it to be super bright. So it fits the bill. There were no more beautiful lamps (with glass and metal) of this size.
