Or, where you will have lotsa bulbs operating. Overall, I am happy with the 200 BLU and how cool they run. You can touch them after a day of being on without risk of burning your fingers off. The heat sink does get warm, but not dangerously hot. I will definitely be upgrading my kitchen to the higher lumen models and move the 200 BLUs to my bathroom, where blinding light first thing in the morning is never welcome.

I will definitely be upgrading my kitchen to the higher lumen models and move the 200 BLUs to my bathroom, where blinding light first thing in the morning is never welcome.

In my kitchen, there is a 5-bulb chandelier that now houses these bulbs. The total lumen output is obviously less than the 60-watters in there (840 vs 240), but I just cut the total wattage from 300 to 25. The kitchen is lit well enough with the 1200 lumens now present. I am going to place another order and upgrade my bathroom. The electric bill reduction begin! My five 200 BLU have arrived. In my kitchen, there is a 5-bulb chandelier that now houses these bulbs.

I am going to place another order and upgrade my bathroom.

Their planned installed is for my kitchen, where my kitchen lighting is a ceiling-hanging thing with 5 bulbs in it. Since there are five bulbs, the reduction in overall light should be minimal compared to the 60-watters I am running in the winter time. I will report back with actual results.

I bet when one of these LED bulbs break, there is no 6-page hazardous cleanup routine to follow. Now there are no excuses for people to continue using those toxic CFLs.
