I then bought some of these, same ones you have, off the internet and was questioning them much like you.

i had previously gotten some LofA bulbs at Costco (floodlight bulbs) and was reasonable satisfied though the light is more directional than i wanted. i bought some too and was similarly disappointed. They are already charging $9 or $10, so perhaps they don't think they would sell if they had to charge more. And to make a truly 40W equivalence would require 4 times the number of LED's. I imagine they thought people would be put off by a 10W equivalence claim, since that is not a commonly used wattage. (Philips has 1W LED = 7W incandescent, and 3W LED = 20W incandescent) That's still an impressive 6 to 7 times the efficiency. 40W would mean 25 to 30 times more efficient, not 90% more.įinally, similar bulbs by Philips indicate these 1.5W bulbs are closer to the light output of a 10W incandescent. Secondly, they're efficiency and power claims on the package are inconsistent with one another.

Okay, for starters, when I got home and tried them out, they definitely do NOT look as bright as a 40W incandescent bulb. So here are some of the claims written on the packaging:ĩ0% more efficient than incandescent and halogen bulbsĪlso missing: any mention of this product at their website. Lights of America part number is 2026LED-30k and 2026LED-65k. I recently bought some LED light bulbs, made by Lights Of America, at our local Ace hardware store.
