This bulb puts out a lot more light than the halogen bulb that was replaced. Thankfully the fixture we are using it in is opaque and spreads the light well enough.

Energy efficient and doesn't seem to be inconvenient in anyway due to it's shape. They freshen up spaces that really need more light. I both two more for my unfinished storage area in the basement.

Two of the bulbs flicker on 3-4 parts of them. Less than four months of use, i only have three that are functioning properly. The circuit board and emitters are wide open to damage.
