Review on Feit Electric AT19 VG LED Bulb: Efficient and Versatile Lighting Solution by Jake Atonyo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice bulb, not bright enough to be 60W "equivalent "

This is a nice bulb with the retro amber color you would expect from an Edison style bulb. It looks like the amber hue comes from the bulb's coating, not the LED filaments. It has a nice shape and looks great in my industrial style glass pendant light that sits over the kitchen sink. (Westinghouse 6100800 Industrial Adjustable Single Light Mini Pendant with Hand Blown Clear Seeded Glass, Polished Bronze Finish BUT that's why I removed the star - it's not a 60W equivalent. It only puts out 400 lumens, which is closer to the typical output of a 40 -W bulb is When buying LED bulbs, it is important to pay attention to the "lumen" specification - a measure of the actual light output. As a guide when buying LEDs as a replacement for incandescent bulbs: 1600 lumens roughly correspond to the brightness of a 100 watt incandescent light bulb 1100 is about 75 watts, 800 is about 60 watts and 450 lumens is about 40 watts.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Some bugs
