Review on GE Lighting 18011 65 Watt Reflector by Weng Ercoli

Revainrating 1 out of 5

THESE LIGHTS COME IN THREE

I was looking for a lower Kelvin temperature and this is 2600K. It produces a yellowish light which I think creates a cozy atmosphere. They call it soft white, but to me they look yellowish, similar to the look of regular incandescent bulbs that many grew up with, which are often 2700K. So I thought they would be great. But that is apparently too low a spectrum for good lighting in the kitchen. I use them for a built-in glass over the kitchen sink. I tried halogen and it was too concentrated and whitish. But I recommend 2700K and above to not get enough light. If you don't mind boredom, this might work for you. If you need more natural light to see colors, especially blue, then you may be better off with Reveal lamps. I use Reveal in my bedroom and bathroom. However, you might want to look for a higher Kelvin option as it says here that the Reveal version is only 2650K and a lot less lumens than the regular version. very uneven and looks weird when lit.

Pros
  • 2600K soft white bulb
Cons
  • Only available in white
