Cree 9W LED
|
Found this at my local HD today for $15 (cheaper than the AmbientLED equivalent), it's the newly released Cree LED lamp. There were only two choices available at HD though, the 5000K 9W one shown in the pic, and a 2700K 6w one.
These seem to have a more even and incandescent like distribution compared to the Philips LEDs. The smaller heatsink and centre placement of the LEDs mean that the socket side is lit too.
Interestingly, instead of a plastic globe, this uses a silicone coated shatter resistant glass globe like on the shatter-r-guard GE fluorescents.
It's also dimmable but it didn't dim that far on the old style incandescent dimmer I tested it with. I think my LED/CFL dimmer might dim it better.

The illuminated ceiling is the exact same as those 70s-80s style setup....
