Customer Reviews
I bought this bulb since I wanted to replace the yellow, hot, energy-wasting 100 watt incandescent bulb in my overhead light. I'm an artist so I wanted to get something less 'yellow' and closer to daylight. I went to the store and picked up a 6500k CFL bulb, but it was too blue (and dimmer than I was used to, although the lumens were supposed to be comparable to the incandescent 100 watt bulb I used before).
After some research online, I found that 5500k is actually preferable for natural light bulbs by a lot of artists. Unfortunately, very few manufacturers make bulbs at 5500k - they're either 6500k or 2700k. I was delighted to find this bulb by ALZO at exactly the temperature I wanted. I ordered it, received a shipping confirmation email the next day, and the day after that the bulb arrived on my doorstep. I am very pleased with the quick shipping and careful packaging of this product.
I was even more pleased when I turned on the overhead light with my new bulb, and my room filled up with what felt like daylight. As I sit here, it feels like I have a skylight in my room - the light is natural and very bright - in fact, it feels brighter than my previous 100-watt incandescent.
It is a bit longer than normal CFLs, but this wasn't a problem for me since my fixture holds bulbs sideways. I highly recommend this bulb to any artist who is looking for a natural light bulb, and doesn't want to deal with the (too blue) 6500k or the (too yellow) 2700k bulbs out there.
This gives off a nice, bright 'clean' natural light. I ordered it for my plant seedlings and indoor plants, because it gives off a full-spectrum of light and isn't yellow like most indoor lighting. However, it is really hard to explain how large this lightbulb actually is -- it wouldn't even fit in the fixture of one of those silver workshop clamp lights! The metal socket part fits, but the actual base of the lightbulb is too big for the lamp, and can't get screwed down all the way! So make sure that whatever fixture you use is big enough for this bulb. Will try and upload a photo later with an ordinary object beside it for size comparison.
