I've not seen these before. At 20W, 1900 lm and 160 deg. angle they
could be good for, er, lighting a kitchen. Wouldn't fit in an R63
recessed holder but a simple E27 - E27 might fix that. Would tend to
collect muck on the top. Not being recessed should keep the
temperature
down.

I'm waiting for the long-promised 200 lm/W lamps.

A new LED which can't be dimmed?

Having a perfectly good light and then dimming it has always seemed
pretty perverse to me.

Really? Have you never fitted a bulb in a location and thought that on
occasion, a lower output might be nice?

I adjust the light level over our dining table depending on the activity
I'm undertaking at it.

There is a large market out there which isn't
the slightest bit interested in dimmability.

Or hasn't grasped the potential of dimming. It's probably even more
pertinent in this age of low wattage bulbs where the actual light output
is
far harder to guess pre-purchase for those of us used to thinking in
40/60/100W bulbs and may end up with a bulb with too high an output.

Well strangely enough some of us just have a different opinion from you.
Hard to accept, I know. I have never found a (commercially available,
domestic) light too bright for me. Really.

Then you are one of those dinosaurs that hasn’t even noticed
that some things like watching TV or ****ing work better at
different light levels than dismantling something which has
tiny pieces in it etc.
