From the moment I held it in my hands I knew I purchased a quality product at a good price. This is even before installing it and powering it on! This is one of the very few QUALITY led bulbs available. Forget the "shower head" 5mm led bulbs that eventually dim and die. This one has 9 Cree PLCC SMD LED's (not sure which series/model). The stated light beam angle of 120 degrees is fairly accurate. The given lumens figure of 520 is pretty accurate, if not conservative. Other specs on the box include a efficiency of 47 lumens per watt with a CRI (color rendering index) of 73. I hooked up a light fixture attached to a kill-a-watt wattage meter with this bulb installed and I got 9 watts/11 VA consumed. The stated ANSI color temperature of 4100 is slightly off. I'd estimate it closer to 4500K as I do have lights that are true 4000k (Cree 5A tint). The color temp might take getting used to compared to a incadescent/halogen but it isn't that bad.
If you are debating wether or not to buy this its not really a hard decision; this one is truly worth it. I bought a few to use for indoor recessed lighting fixtures as well as outdoor security floodlights and they work wonderfully. I plan on buying more to replace all of my halogen & CFL par38 lights.

Dim's well, has a color temp that is different but easy to get used to. Bulb is short for most par38 cans though, so it is tricky to screw in and ends up being recessed. The fact that it is recessed may cast a shadow from the edge of the can.Best Deals for Lights of America PAR38 Dimmable Bulb Standard Base Indoor/Outdoor
I bought 10 of these for our living room ceiling can lights.They are very bright, the color temp is a little on the bluish side.
They work fine with our Lutron analog dimmers.
I recommend to try out the PAR19 bulbs first, before deciding on replacing incandescents.
High intensity LED bulbs are brighter that you may expect, and those burn even less Watts.

I was using a single non-LED light to light my room but it left the other side of my room too dark. I bought this hoping it would fix the problem. This LED is BRIGHT. My whole room is now well lit with this single light. Very happy about that. :) I highly recommend this.
