Pretty decent. good for me

I wasn't sure the intensity was as advertised but using my phone's front sensor I calculated 518lm at full bright on my dimmer, so I'm going to call it close enough. The "warm white" is just barely warm. Nowhere near as warm as the halogen bulbs these replaced, but I can buy the 3000K as close enough again. They look close to white when I look at them, but the cast light definitely has a warm tinge to it. They're supposed to be dimmable and I'm going to call that one.eh, sorta, technically, OK maybe, but they really don't behave like I expect them to when I read the word "dimmable". I have a Lutron LED compatible dimmer. The halogens worked great with a linear progression to the dimming. With these LED bulbs they barely increase in brightness at all from low to 3/4 slide on the dimmer, then suddenly they get bright and start strobing, getting faster as the dimmer slide moves, eventually going solid and brightening ever so slightly in the last little bit of travel of the dimmer slider. So I can technically dim from low to high, but it's more of a high/low switch than a true dimming. Overall, I got what I paid for, mostly, at a slightly lower than typical price, so I'm happy with them. I've added a pic of the fixture I made that these bulbs went into and an intensity comparison with the florescent fixture in the adjacent space which had one 32w T8 bulb in one fixture and 3 in the other, one pic at low and the other at high. Also, a size comparison with a standard A19 bulb.EDIT/UPDATE: I misread the specs and they aren't supposed to be dimmable, so the fact I can go from low to high is actually an unexpected bonus. Turns out I'm an idiot. Who knew?
