As a designer I am picky about my lamps, but even if I wasn't so picky I would hate these bulbs. First, the light is not "bright white" but with a bluish phosphor cast that shouldn't be around 2800K. Secondly, lightbulbs in some of my wall boxes hum loudly even without a dimmer. And third, as others have pointed out, they bounce the light back, which looks weird coming out of the light in my picture. I generally love the warm, shiny, comfortable halogen light, but these bulbs don't offer that. I would be happier with a replacement for energy efficient, non-sparking LEDs. Next time.
