Thanks to you actually... It were Lennart and you that made me LED-aware

They claim 2700 degr Kelvin but it only tells something about the color temperature (more orange or blue) but like the early fluorescent/TL tubes, these transmit a lot of green making it still fill unnatural and cooler then they claim. I am sure this will be solved but be aware of it. I bought some and none could replace me normal 'flame' bulbs.

Thats my overall problem with LED lights, you still can't use LEDS where you really need the lights like in the bathroom kitchen or office. Then its to orange or to blue or not bright enough or the beam is to narrow etc etc. The all try to get the right color in different way's

Can't match the quality for example like halogen light!
I tried all kinds of LEDs and also expensive onces! My conclusion for now is that LEDs can be used for mood or additional lights.

Today i got the chance to go to a Kwantum store and bought 4. 2 small ones, 2 bigger. 1 was DOA

I'll take some pictures tomorrow to compare the Calex with normal light bulbs.
