Review on ๐Ÿ’ก Westinghouse Lighting 5160000 200 Watt Equivalent: Brilliant Illumination for Any Space by Chris Anderson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good but not universal solution

Works great in a lamp with a simple switch. Emits a warm glow instead of the cool white glow of daylight bulbs. Not as bright as a classic 200W bulb, but close enough. But not for lamps that are connected to a dimmer. Even LED bulbs that claim to be dimmer compatible don't work very well, so that's no surprise. All of these LED bulbs come with packaging that claims to last longer than pets, but you know what it's like. As this bulb just arrived I can't comment on its durability but all other LED bulbs seem to only last as long as they replace traditional incandescent bulbs. However, it should last longer than the classic 200W bulb it replaces. The grocery store had a sale and the classic 200W bulb only lasted a month. The price of this LED bulb may be 6 times higher than the retail price of standard bulbs, but if it lasts more than six months, it will prove cheaper without having to change the bulb 6 times.

Pros
  • Voltage range 120-277V, ideal for places with voltage fluctuations
Cons
  • Not sure
