Light has a definite blue hue to it. Two bulbs will light my bathroom
comfortably enough for me to function. With white diffusers over the
bulbs. Still ends up being blue light, to no surprise.


The same two bulbs in a ceiling fixture with no diffuser, lights my
office enough so I can read, or pay bills, or write checks.


Just a wing and guess, about the same as a 60 watt filament bulb. But
definitely blue color.


Yes, they are still for sale, at the Ebay page.

How do they handle dimming?


I'd be interested to know as well... those are inexpensive enough to
try, although honestly I suspect that I would have the same problem
with them that I have with many CFLs... not bright enough. But
something with better SMD LEDs will probably be prohibitively
expensive for another couple years.

Does anybody really prefer blue light from CFL and LED bulbs in their homes?
I'm not talking about the bulbs that try to mimic incandescent, but the ones
marked "cool white" or similar.

I'm not sure about dimming. I did decide I don't like the blue light. I took
one of the blue ones out, and put a CF back in. Going from 7 watt bulb to 11
isn't going to hurt me.

Now, trying the other LED bulb in another location.
