This little light worked ok for a couple of months and then died. Well made and easy to put up. Bought it for a dimly lit space but light was not really bright enough but sufficed. Not sure why it died but as it was not adequate for the task will not pursue it. Live and learn!

House of Troy 14" Wide Black Plug-in Grand Piano Lamp Review

House of Troy 14 Wide Black Plug-in Grand Piano Lamp

This light is great for use on a music stand. With two light bulbs, it easily casts light over the entire music stand. I don't like the blue light that you get from LED lamps. The bulbs that you use in this lamp can be either clear for lots of bright light, or soft for a more subtle light. I personally buy the clear bulbs for my aging eyes.
It is expensive compared to most clip on LED stand lights but you won't buy another one after you have used this lamp. Cannot recommend highly enough.
I use this lamp on sturdy Manhasset music stands.

Dimmable E26 A60 Standard Household Base 50 Watt Incandescent Light Bulb Replacement with a 6 Watt LED, Warm White, 1012ww Review

Dimmable E26 A60 Standard Household Base 50 Watt Incandescent Light Bulb Replacement with a 6 Watt LED, Warm White, 1012ww

I purchased this A60 Dimmable E26 Bulb because it specifically says 'dimmable'. Most CFL (compact fluorescent lamp) and LED lamps are not compatible with dimmer switches designed for incandescent bulbs. They will either be damaged immediately, or their life spans will be severely cut short when plugged into light sockets controlled by incandescent dimmers.
As it turns out, this LED lamps works very well:
- At 100% power, it emits a bright white light in the forward-facing direction. The color temperature is not quite as warm as a 60W incandescent bulb or a 'warm-white' CFL lamp, but is a lot warmer than the typical bluish light emitted from a 'pure-white' LED lamp.
- At the lowest power, the LED lamp dims down to less than 10% of its full brightness, while still maintaining the same color temperature. In contrast, a 60W incandescent bulb gives out a faint red glow at the same dimming level. (See my customer images for brightness comparison)
The dimming range of this LED lamp is superior to any so-called 'dimmable CFL' I have tried (which usually turns off below 30% power). However, there are several 'issues' you should be aware of. Some for this LED lamp in particular, others for LED lamps in general:
- This LED lamp contains a large heat sink that covers half of its body. The actual LED board is attached to the heat sink using two small screws. The problem is that their screw threads are all messed up and one screw fell out. Lucky for me I tested the lamp in downward-facing configuration, so I was able to spot the loose screw inside the glass dome. Had I tested the lamp in upward-facing configuration, the loose screw would land on the LED board and possibly ruin the lamp.
- The beam it produces is highly directional. The view angle is 165-degree, which is wider than a flood-light or a spot-light, but much narrower than an omni-directional (360-degree) incandescent bulb. What this means is if you use them in your chandelier with lamps facing upward, your ceiling will be brightly illuminated, but the area directly underneath will be quite dim. On the other hand, this directional beam makes it ideal for use in downward-facing recessed light fixtures.
- The total light output (luminosity) is only 260-300 lumens (*). Strictly speaking, this is only comparable to the luminosity of a 25-30W incandescent bulb. However, because the light from this LED lamp is concentrated in the forward direction, it appears much brighter than a 60W bulb - as long as you stay in front of the LED lamp.
Finally, let's consider the energy-saving claim of LED lamps. LED lamps currently on the market are 5-7 times more efficient than incandescent bulbs, but the price is very high at around $5 per watt. So it may take many years for the energy saving to offset your initial investment. For example: suppose you replace a 40W incandescent bulb ([标签:Content].50) with a 6W LED lamp ($30), and your electricity rate is [标签:Content].12 per KWh, then it will take nearly 7000 hours to make up the price difference. In contrast, CFL are 'only' 3-4 times more efficient than incandescent bulbs, but they cost much less. So if you replace a 60W bulb with a 14W CFL ($2.5), then it only takes 360 hours to get your money's worth.
This is not to say that you should not replace your ancient incandescent bulbs with more efficient light sources. Just that you must have a realistic expectation on the luminosity and efficiency claims of LED lamps in general. In some cases, CFL may be a better choice - just remember to recycle burnt out CFL bulbs properly.
(*) Update on June 16, 2010:
The product page now says "Light output: 380-420 Lumens".
Update on Sep 9, 2010:
I purchased my second LED bulb and it has the same brightness as the first one. So I can't tell whether the light output has always been 400 lumen, or this is just another example of creative 'Spec-men-ship'.

Super Deluxe 21 LED Under Cabinet Lighting Kit with Dimmer Switches Warm White (see also #4829 and 4863) Review

I am in the process of installing a tile backsplash and I wanted to add some undercounter lighting to accent the tile. I looked at three Warm lighting kits: This kit, the Super Bright LED under cabinet cove, Full kit, 10 light panels, 2 powersupplies, warm white LEDs!, and the Under Cabinet and accent LED Lights - 10 panel set, warm white LEDs. I am very pleased with this kit and I am glad I got the one I did. The extra brightness of the Super Bright 21 LED's (vs 10 in the cheaper version) works great. It's hard to tell from the picture but the strips of LEDs are only about 8" long so the extra brightness is nice. I'm also glad I got the dimmer switches. The only difference in the Super Bright Full kit and the Deluxe kit I got is the addition of 2 dimmer switches. Both products show the same product picture, but this one does include two dimmer switches. It really is nice to be able to adjust the brightness so it's full bright for when you are cooking and preparing food and low light for some nice backlighting or mood lighting. You can always get the Super Bright kit without the dimmers and add them later as well (they are $20 a piece on the manufacturer's site).
As for installation, this has to be the easiest wiring job I've ever done. It's literally plug and play. I drilled one hole to pass the wire through the top of my cabinet to hide the plug. Otherwise it's all 2-sided tape and screws. A screwdriver is the only tool I needed. The kit included everything I needed and then some. The ONLY thing I would change is a few more screws would be nice. I like to screw everything in addition to using the 2-sided tape and the number of screws was plenty for the LED strips and some of the wire bundle holders, but I could have used a few more for the wire bundles holders. It's a minor complaint though as my use of screws is likely overkill. I just wanted to make sure that over time the wires don't fall down due to gravity pulling on the two sided tape. I ended up just using the 2-sided tape on a handful of wiring bundle holders until I can buy a few more screws.
The kit came packaged very well and I got it in a matter of days - Priority Mail. I can also buy add on parts or accessories directly from Inspired LED if I need to. This kit is so nice and easy to install I may install more on top of my cabinets to light up the plant ledge. I actually ended up using 1 extra LED strip for this and it looks great. I'll try and add a customer picture to the product page to give you an idea.
In short, you won't regret buying this kit. My only regret is not doing this earlier. It would have really helped during the installation of the backsplash to provide some nice work lights.

Super Bright LED under cabinet cove, Full kit, 10 light panels, 2 powersupplies, warm white LEDs Review

Super Bright LED under cabinet cove, Full kit, 10 light panels, 2 powersupplies, warm white LEDs
Average Reviews:

This is an excellent solution for undercabinet lighting in our kitchen. The warm-white LEDs look much better than the commonly available cold white LEDs. And installation couldn't be much easier. Our cabinets had a little overhang, which made for a perfect installation for these very thin light strips. The strips and wiring are not visible at all unless you stick your head under the cabinet. I plan to connect the transformers to the overhead lighting circuit so they all come ON together. I bought the package that included the dimmer, but did not use/need it, so if I did this again, I'd order this less expensive package without the dimmer. Your needs may vary (e.g., if you're lighting a china cabinet or similar).
See the before-after photo I uploaded for this product. That portion of the kitchen shown used 7 of the 10 strips that came with this package. Looks pretty good, heh?

Dimmable Par20 5 Watt LED Spot Light Bulb Replacement for Incandescent Halogen Track Lighting, Recess Light, E26 Standard Screw Base, Warm White, 1321ww Review

Dimmable Par20 5 Watt LED Spot Light Bulb Replacement for Incandescent Halogen Track Lighting, Recess Light, E26 Standard Screw Base, Warm White, 1321ww

Finally, a bright-enough LED par20. I replaced 50W halogens for almost the same light output. They dim great (Lutron electronic dimmer, don't know the model). They CAN be installed with halogens at the same time and will dim together fine, which is great for the undecided or for the ones who don't want to fully commit to a slightly colder color. (They aren't quite warm white, but close)
I'm sure that as my review ages, my rating will go down for them, but right now, these are hands down the best energy efficient par20 dimmables for the price. CFL dimmables do exist and cost half of these upfront, but they tend to die fast. Maybe I have bad luck, but dimmable CFLs are known to have much shorter lives when cycled often.
For me, the big win is that in California, energy is really expensive. For a typical bill, the last 100kWh of the month costs me 35 cents per kwh. These let me reduce electric consumption in kitchen lighting from 45kwH per month to 4kwH. That's $14 a month, or $168 a year. They'll pay for themselves pretty quickly, though I'm sure I'll leave them on more now.
The bulb is never more than slightly warm to the touch. My recessed lights are 18 inches above my head, so I could always feel the heat when under the halogens. It never bothered me, but with these, you won't get that.
Overall, the only downside for me is the slightly colder light temperature. Not quite as warm white as I'd like, but certainly not white. But the fuzzy feeling of saving money makes it warmer.
The light is a bit less diffused than a standard halogen, so it may create dark shadow spots depending on your setup. You can get around that by mix/matching these with halogens, and they'll still dim just fine.
