Quite bright, and holding up well in a ceiling fan
These were the first LED lamps I've ever purchased.<br /><br />We have a ceiling fan in our family room and for some reason both filament bulbs and CFLs were burning out quickly (within 3 months) in one of the four sockets. This despite the fact that we don't use the fan all that much. Also, this particular fixture gets a lot of use in our home (the lights, not the fan). So if I could save energy on lighting this application struck me as an opportunity to achieve the greatest payback on the investment.<br /><br />These bulbs have a small footprint, not much bigger than a normal incandescent lamp. This was important because they had to fit inside the diffuser globes. Like most LED lamps they send most of the light out the top. In a ceiling fixture with four sockets this behavior is not at all objectionable; but might be a problem with a reading lamp or other single-bulb fixture.<br /><br />The four bulbs draw a lot less power yet throw noticeably more light than CFLs with the same lumen rating. In fact I'm getting a lot more light from these lamps than I expected to.<br /><br />All LED lamps are currently a little pricey, but these are a good deal for what they are, and they have held up well. So far, I'm very happy with them. As long as they continue to function they should pay for themselves in a couple of years.<br /><br />UPDATE FEB 2014:  In the last 8 months I've had no problems with these LED lamps burning out. I've never had that level of success with either filament lamps or with CFLs in this ceiling fan fixture. Just the fact that I don't have to get out a 6-foot step ladder every two months has me very happy with this product.
