Westinghouse 03485 Nanolux 1-Watt S11 LED Bulb, Amber

First and foremost, be aware this is a NIGHT LIGHT. You will NOT be able to read a book or cook or perform other focusing activities very well. This reminds me of soft delicate warm candlelight, the type you see when the wick is burned at least a 1/4 of the way down in a fat pillar-type candle.

Rated for 100,000 hours - at 8 hrs per day, this should last 34 years ........ compared to any other bulb out there, this is a no brainer as long as you want to softly illuminate a space. I have 4 lamps with these installed and I need not worry if I leave them on for extended periods. Perfect for my downstairs area that can stay 'lit' for safety, without having to replace the typical 4-watt bulbs fairly often, when kept on 24/7.

I am only writing this review because the bulb in question cannot defend its self, although it is brighter than the two previous reviewers, it is still just 1-Watt.

As far as use, I guess it may be handy to put in lightsockets just to test, or maybe a long line of driveway lights that stay on all night.

I bought 20 and strung them from my gazebo.
It looks festive and bugs aren't drawn to the lights.
