Review on πŸ’‘ Westinghouse Lighting 5229000 - Ultimate Daylight Equivalent for Brighter Spaces by Cindy Payne

Revainrating 5 out of 5

1/3 power for 57% brightness 42W 2650 lumens CFL works surprisingly well!

We had a CFL that used 42 watts and put out 2650 lumens. This 14W LED bulb is a 1/3 wattage champion! We first tried replacing the CFL with a 15W 5700K LED bulb which we ordered direct from China. What a waste of $. The extra 700K produced a bluish tint that hurt our eyes, and the bulb didn't live up to the advertised 1500 lumens. Perfect! 5000K (Daylight) is definitely what you need when trying to light a two car garage. We were shocked, 1500 lumens (as advertised) is more than enough. and we burn 1/3 of the energy. We are very pleased with this bulb and that we were able to order a bulb from a reputable manufacturer at a price comparable to 2 packs at stores like Home Depot (individual Cree bulbs are $7-8). The only thing I think is what you need to know is that they have a 5 year warranty (which is competitive) - just note that other bulbs (like Cree's) have a 10 year have warranty - but you have to pay extra 60%. To account for that we bought this bulb with a card that comes with an extra 2 year warranty (7 years total) and just round it up!

Pros
  • Good product for the price
