Question by wilhem: 100wt energy saving bulb in a socket rated for a 60wt standard bulb? My standard ceiling light sockets suggest that I use standard 60 watt bulbs. The cold light of a 60 watt flourescent bulb is just not enough light. Can I use a 75 or 100 watt flourescent bulbs instead. ——————————————

Perfect for mood lighting.
The first thing that got my attention was the build quality. I expected the bulb to be of cheap, fragile plastic construction, but it’s actually very solid and of good weight. The size is about as long as a PAR20 bulb and almost exactly as wide as an MR16.
The color it produces is extremely vibrant, very saturated. The transitions are clean and look professional. As one reviewer mentioned earlier, things are a little more on the dim side. The brightest colors (blue and white) are equivalent to a 20 watt bulb and the dimmest color (red) is about an 8 watt bulb. While this perfect for mood lighting, as a party-lighting solution, you will require many bulbs. I recommend searching out and buying the bulb by the same seller without the remote when getting multiples. It saves a few bucks and you can use the same remote for all the bulbs.
The remote has a range of about six feet and about a 60 degree spread. It’s signal easily goes through recessed cans (as long as you point it at the bulb).
The bulbs do have a memory of the last setting they were on when turning them on, either through the remote or power switch, as long as they are “trained” with the setting by leaving it on for at least a few minutes. I do notice that, when on solid colors at max brightness, the bulb controller flickers every once in a while. It’s not enough do bother me, but I do notice it from time to time.
I will definetely be incorporating these bulbs in future lighting ideas.

These are great for mood lighting a movie or for parties. The remote makes it easy to change the color and effect but the bulb isn’t bright enough to work in unless it is directly above the work area.
Have a few in recessed lights for great movie or party lighting

Dealing with Eagle Light was a pleasure. This particular light bulb is easy to install into a small uplight I had purchased on the cheap from Home Depot. I place it on “smooth” and watching the changing colors is so soothing and really transforms a room. I have two of them placed in my living room, synced in color changing, and it is just a delight. Plenty of compliments from visitors and friends when they see it in action. All comment on how relaxed it makes them. Love them!

I don’t know if it was just my bulb, but this product was much dimmer than I expected. It did have a lot of useful features, though.
This lightbulb can change into just about every color you can think of. It’s very easy to control with their remote. The bulb looks good – I wasn’t sure if it would look that good from Amazon’s image but I’m impressed. I thought the effects were cool but didn’t find much of a use for them. Also, it uses LEDs, which use much less energy than regular lightbulbs.
Unfortunately, the bulb does have some major issues. It was much dimmer than I expected. If you want to fill a big room, such as a party room, with light, I wouldn’t recommend this bulb. You’d have to get three or four of these so it would be bright enough. I can see where this would work well for a small room but not anywhere else. Also, these don’t work with dimmers – the bulb goes crazy when you adjust the dimmer – it changes colors, it changes brightness, and turns off.
This bulb has great features, but, because it is so dim, it wouldn’t work well in a very big room.

OK, For $30 or so odd bucks this may seem like an expensive light, but between the kick @$$ colors, low power consumption and what one or two of these bad boys can do to enhance any room. Priceless… Next time you go to buy paint at $20/gallon reconsider LED mood lighting.
