Tools and Hardware Reviews of Westinghouse 03466 Nanolux 3-Watt G19 LED Bulb, White
Customer Review: Very Dim and blue, but for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
Literally pennies on the dollar for where ever you need just enough light to walk, or for a reading lamp that is very close to your head as long as you don't mind blue light. (I don't, I actually find LEDs much better for reading in general though I have these particular bulbs in hallway and porch light...) If you are an energy minimalist, you can't possibly beat the quality of this almost unbreakable indoor/outdoor bulb *for the price*. (Yes, I dropped one from a ladder... unbreakable.) But I'll be more excited when true 60W white light replacements are available for under $10, because there are really only a very few places in the house where this makes any sense at all. (In fact, I bought three and wonder what to do with the third, since the other two will practically never need to be replaced!) Best use in outside fixtures and walkways that are on all night, all to help slow your meter down and get under baseline, not to mention never need to climb the ladder there again;-) They are rated to burn for almost 58 YEARS.Customer Review: Nightlight
Summary: 5 Stars
Be warned--this light bulb provides light with a decidedly bluish cast and is not suitable (not by a longshot) as a replacement for a 60W incandescent light. The light is dim enough so that from ten feet (three meters or so) I can't really distinguish colors of things. However, the bulb may actually be a bit too bright as a nightlight if your nightlight is close to your bed.
This is the good part: this bulb is cool and easy to use. If you need a nightlight and suspect you may forget to turn it off, then this is the perfect light for you. At only 3W, it won't run up your electric bill. There's no glass in this bulb, at least as far as I can tell. The bulb is plastic, specially designed to disperse the light uniformly. (This bulb is not a spotlight.)
Customer Review: Great way to go green!
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently ordered three of these bulbs, and was pleasantly surprised by them. They appear to be the equivalent of standard 20 watt bulb(not a 20 watt CFL). Now, I must say of the three bulbs I ordered one of them cast a greenish-yellow light. The other two bulbs are bright white. I wrote a letter to Westinghouse and they promptly shipped out a replacement bulb with no hassle. GREAT customer service!
I would like to clearly state that this is no replacement for a 60-75 watt CFL, but I have sensitive eyes so the dimmer light is preferable to me.
One final note; you can read with this bulb if you have a goose-neck reading lamp or a lamp that would accept multiple bulbs.
Customer Review: Almost Too bright!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not sure what the other reviewers are talking about. This light is BRIGHT! I have a breezeway between the garage and house where the vast majority of people enter. I wanted a light I could keep on all the time for guests and myself (trying to put your key in the hole in total darkness really sucks).
So, for 3 watts, I figured I could keep it on 24/7 without much impact. I wanted something fairly dim that would just allow me to see the door & lock. This light is almost too bright and illuminates all of the breezeway and some of the driveway.
I wouldn't use it for task lighting (too dim) or a night light (too bright); but as an entryway light, it's superb.
Customer Review: garage door opener bulb
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought one for my garage door opener. It is dim but enough light for me to get out of my vehicle and in the house safely. My cat likes to chase mice in the garage at night and leaving a dim bulb on hopefully gives her an advantage. So far it has been a winner all the way... low watt, just enough light, and hopefully out lasts the short lived regular bulbs. My garage has 4 100 watt bulbs in the regular lighting system for when I need to see... like unloading groceries. Over six months now and it has made me happy all the way. If it lasts a few years and saves me a couple trips up & down a step ladder then it will fully deserve 5 stars.... only time will tell.
