This is a six-pack of LED light bulbs for nightlight sized lights. They are 1.5 watts according to the advertisement on Amazon. The bulbs themselves do not state anything on the bulb or the individual boxes. There is a label on the bag the six boxes are in that states the watts and voltage. These 1.5 watt bulbs are replacing some of our 4-watt incandescent bulbs. When you look on our incandescent bulbs, you can see that GE stamped their name, voltage and watts on the bulb base, which is very handy. It would have been good to have this info listed on the LED bulbs.
I attached a few pictures showing the difference between the incandescent bulbs and the LED bulbs.
For the “cat” nightlight with the incandescent bulb (first picture), you can see our sink clearly. The next picture where the sink is very dim is with the new LED lights. It seems like LED light, although glowing brightly in the “cat” fixture doesn’t illuminate as well. This could be because the thicker acrylic nightlight material doesn’t disperse this light well.
When testing our “miniature lamp” nightlight, the opposite is true. The incandescent bulb in the third picture appears dim; while the LED in the 4th picture is brighter than the incandescent bulb. This lamp is made of glass; so, perhaps the brightness depends on the type of material the light is travelling through.
Since the electricity used by the incandescent bulbs is pretty insignificant, we’re going to use a combination of incandescent and LED bulbs depending on which looks better in these and other nightlights. For the two shown, we’ll keep the incandescent for the cat and use the LED for the lamp.
Overall, these bulbs work fine. But their illumination of the surroundings is dependent on the material of the nightlight into which they are installed.
