The brightness rating is accurate and the color temperature is about right at the 4000k that it claims. This LED addresses the problem with LED's and their lack of red output. If there isn't enough red in the light things look sort of washed out. I wish this was available is a slightly warmer temperature such as 3500, that way I could mix it with other bulbs more easily. If you are going to switch an entire room over then it would not be a problem. Overall very good color. I docked one star because there is a slight noise that can be heard only within inches of the bulb. Most of my LED's produce some noise like this one however I do have LED's that are silent and so minus one star. The heat generated is very low, the heat sink design seems good.

I would love to see a 3500k version of this bulb.

I like these lights, or at least the idea of them. I attempted to purchase four of the same lights, but what I ended up getting were four slightly different colored lights. Luckily, amazon was very helpful in remedying this issue. As far as whether I would recommend these, maybe, if you're patient.

I've been using this in a floor lamp that I don't use every day but have used now for several months. I seen complaints of the bulb going out on one of the three settings in a short time but mine is still working on all of them. Gives great light runs cool and the electric company's billing dept ain't happy haha. I would advise anyone wanting LED to buy this one.

Honest reviews on Benchmark by Viribright LED 8W A19 A Lamp Standard Medium Base

Brightness is good, similar to a 40W incandescent. Lights up very fast if dimmer is full up; if you turn it on partially dimmed, it takes a few seconds to come up to the set brightness. Dims smoothly down to about 40-50%, then abruptly goes to about 10-20% brightness. If I turn it off and back on at a dimming setting below the abrupt step, it will not light up; I have to raise the dimmer to 50% or more to get it to light up. If I turn it off and back on at a dimming setting just above the abrupt step, it may or may not light up. The low brightness output below the step is inconsistent; I didn't wait to see if it varied over time. Because of the step in the dimming response, I can't get light between 25% and 40% of full brightness.

Good if you don't need deep dimming; pitiful otherwise.

Can't beat this for the price. Got it for a dimmable touch desk lamp -works like a charm.

Only downside is because LEDs draw so little power, my lamp's off setting still has the LED glowing slightly. I don't think this is the bulb's issue, but rather a product of LED's efficiency.
