Pros: I have purchased a number of different LED bulbs in order to compare their performance and to help save the planet from excessive CO2 power plant emissions and mercury pollution. I purchased 5 of these for the chandelier over my dining table. These bulbs are the top performers in light quality (NO ONE has noticed that they were not incandescents), capacity to function with a dimmer switch, light spread (360*) and appearance (in my chandelier the heat sinks are hidden, appearance was a top requirement for my wife) that was equal to incandescents. As an apples to apples comparison to incandescents, these are funtionally equivalent to at least the (5) 25 watt incandescent bulbs they replaced. So I get the same or slightly brighter output for 35 watts instead of the 125 watts these 5 LED bulbs replaced. Do it for the planet.

Cons: Yes they cost more, but will pay for themselves in energy cost and reduced environmental impact.

Overall Review: If you care enough, you will buy LEDs to promote the emerging technology and assist the industry in attaining the economies of scale. The planet needs all of the help it can get.

Pros: none

Cons: resetting is a waste of time yet required...OFTEN if you have a laptop and a playstation (which I could never get it to properly recognize).
