Having been impressed with some of Tuwago's other LED lighting products and noting the more "omnidirectional" light distribution claims of this product, I decided to give this bulb a try in my outdoor lighting fixtures where I had previously been concerned that other LED candelabra bulb replacements might not provide enough downward illumination as the bulbs are mounted pointing up in the fixtures. So far I've had twelve of these bulbs in use in four fixtures (3 bulbs each) for about 2.5 months and I'm quite pleased with the results. Light brightness and color are great and I've seemingly got less bugs buzzing around my fixtures now than I did with the previsoul incandescent lights which means I've got less bugs getting in the house when the doors are briefly opened and I've also got less dead bugs piling up inside my light fixtures... all while taking advantage of the significantly lower power consumption of these bulbs compared to my old ones! As usual, I'll try to post occasional updates here as time goes by...

I've bought and installed most of the commercially available ones out right now, paying up to $30 a piece. This one is the best so far. It is both the warmest and the best dimming (goes the lowest with the switch all the way down). Four of these are bright enough for my large master bedroom.Best Deals for Tuwago® 4W Omni-directional Dimmable Candelabra CREE® LED Bulb
This bulb is by far the best bulb in our home, and we have replaced 30 or so bulbs in our place with various types of LED lights. We used three of these bulbs in a hanging lantern light fixture in our stairwell. Not only do they provide more light than the 25W incandescents that they replaced, but the 2800K light provides a perfect warm brilliance to our stairwell.Pros:
-Perfect warm light.
-Provides more light than a 25W incandescent.
-Only 4W power consumption (I measured this with a Killawatt meter).
-No turn on delay.
Cons
-On the expensive side. I only paid $12.91 per bulb, but now I see that the price is $18.99 on Amazon.
Honest reviews on Tuwago® 4W Omni-directional Dimmable Candelabra CREE® LED Bulb
We used 3 of these in the light kit of an outdoor ceiling fan and they are reasonably bright and have been problem free. It is certainly nice to be using ~12 watts instead of ~75 watts, especially given the graduated (use based) rates they use on electricity here.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Tuwago® 4W Omni-directional Dimmable Candelabra CREE® LED Bulb
I've used Tuwago bulbs before, in standard A19 fixtures. They work very well but are a tad on the bulky side, and this guy is no exception. However, for candelabra sockets there aren't very many decent-output choicesespecially when you need a dimmable bulb.I have a 3-step dimmable touch lamp with two intermediate sockets. After getting tired of how quickly the standard incandescent S11 bulbs burned out, I got some socket reducers and went shopping for candelabra LED lights. These were replacing the only incandescents left in our house, so it just felt good too :-)
My first attempt was with two Feit CFC/DM/310 bulbs that claim to be 40W replacements (same as the incandescents). I picked them for this reason and found them to be indeed quite bright... but they acted like strobes when at full brightness which was unacceptable. For the uninitiated, dimmable LED lights use a driver to control the light output when dimmed, and this can result in flickering if they're not properly implemented. I kind of expected this at lower settings, but strangely the Feit bulbs were fine thereit was only at full power that they flickered.
Those went back, and I got these Tuwago 4W bulbs instead. They had been a serious runner up from the get-go, but I'd passed them over since they were rated as 25W replacements @ 250 lm. That's quite a bit less by any measure. Put them in today and they have no problems at all at any leveldidn't so much as flicker once. The light color is very nicesimilar to incandescent. They are indeed not as bright as the Feit bulbs or the old incandescent S11 high intensity bulbs, but heythey work well. In fact the light spread is a bit better, and despite the larger base they cast about the same arc of illumination. The only thing that remains to be seen is if they live up to their life expectancy, but if it's anything like my other Tuwago bulbs, that should not be a problem.
