Cold Cold color

Collection LED A19 7W 40 Watt Replacement Light Bulb, Daylight

Pros: They work well outside in very cold weather. Much better than compact fluorescent lamps. Now we wait to see how reliable they are. 20 thousand + hours life expectancy could be awhile before I report back. Let's hope so.

Cons: It's all personal on this point. 2 things: 1) - the lamps are only 1/2 a lamp because of the heat sink built into the lamp. When you think of a regular incandescent lamp picture from the base to 1/2 way up the lamp being gone because of a metal heat sink (no light). Its kinda weird. 2) - I couldn't live with the 5000K color inside my house. The color is cold and makes you look pasty in the mirror. It's a bright bright light so its doing exactly what they say it will do just be aware that the color is a bright COLD light.

Overall Review: They have been moved to outside lighting only. I have since purchased 2700K LED lamps from another manufacturer and I love them. These have the yellow hue, they give off a warm feel and the whole lamp is visible like what you expect when you thing of a light bulb. Make sure you wait for a sale. LED's can be expensive it you pay retail. WAIT FOR A SALE! Big price difference.

Get a good bluetooth radio

Mee audio Air-Fi Venture Bluetooth Over-Ear Headphone (Second Generation)
Mee audio Air-Fi Venture Bluetooth Over-Ear Headphone (Second Generation)

Pros: Now that I switched to a BT dongle from my intel centrino wi-fi bluetooth Advanced -N 6235 card that I installed a month ago into my Asus Q200E laptop the MEE HP-AF52 headphones work GREAT!! For a bluetooth headset they shine! This is really more of a slap at either the intel wi-fi card or the 3rd party TYCO internal antennas than anything. Without a good BT radio the headphones pay the price. I don't know why the BT card fell on its face. I have the latest drivers. I guess I will switch out the internal antenna and see if that is the problem (it may not be the card, might be the antenna. You' think intel would recommend an antenna that would let their card shine). Anyway these headphones are now a JOY!! I can move around the room up to around 20 feet. No more sputter after sitting right in front of the laptop and turning my head 90*. No more dropped signals just really nice sound. Radio Paradise (internet radio-highly recomended) has never sounded better. Sweet Sweet Sweet Got the headset on sale for 50 bucks.

Cons: Nothing against the headphones.

Overall Review: If you have a problem with the sound make sure its not the bluetooth radio from your source before you think the headphones suck.

Pros: Had this for over 2 months. No problems at all after migrating os (win 8) and data from my hdd (bit of a headache mostly due to my inexperience). Boot time is a consistent 5 to 6 seconds. Apps load near instantly.

Cons: None at all.

Pros: Quick shipping

Cons: DOA

Overall Review: RMA issued. Sent back. Will see how quickly this thing turns around. The 3 eggs is not so much a reflection on Newegg as they are only the shippers but it also takes into account that WD sold a defective product. It happens.

Great buy !
