Review on πŸ’‘ Westinghouse 4513400 Medium Base LED Bulb, 40W Equivalent by Jessica Bryant

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not the equivalent of "40W ", but the equivalent of "450 lumens ".

LED light bulbs have improved a lot in recent years. However, they differ slightly in color and light output from the incandescent bulbs for which they are sold as replacements. I can live with that but I'm a little tired of the misleading advertising. They have a similar but slightly lower light output compared to a standard 40W Soft White incandescent bulb. The soft whites put out around 480 lumens compared to the 450 lumens of this lamp. Color temperature is close to "soft white" but still slightly more blue-green than incandescent (2700K vs. around 2500K). In short, they function as energy-saving replacements for traditional 40-watt incandescent bulbs. as long as they are not used in color-critical applications such as graphics or photography.

Pros
  • Omni A15 LED offers incandescent look with up to 88% energy savings
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
