hey I'm seen that's right wrist and this is the oz from 40 watt replacement LED like a 40 watt incandescent it's going to put out 450 lumens of light but it's going to do it from a much smaller power draw just 6 watts that's great that's the best power draw we've seen from any 40 watt replacement that's come through our lab and it's also very good in terms of brightness put out closer to 500 lumens when we tested it out that makes it much like the 60 watt version of the bulb a very good and efficient choice for basic home lighting setups if you compare the two you'll see that they look a lot of like they're about the same size they both have a plastic bulb there but the one small difference I kind of like with this 40 watt is that it has a much smaller heatsink you can see that white neck around the bottom of the bowl right above the screw it's a lot smaller on the 40 watt and that leaves more room for the bulb itself it comes down lower and more of the bulb is actually going to light up when you turn it on that means you get more downward light and proportion to all the light that it's putting out which makes it a good reading light however if you're looking for a bulb to use on a dimmer switch like one of these you're probably going to want to go with something else awesomes bulb dims up and down just fine but at certain points we caught it flickering and buzzing a little bit not ideal if you're going to use dimmer switches in your home for the best dimmer performance in this category consider Phillips's 40 watt replacement just keep in mind it does cost an extra four bucks per volt oz rooms 40 watt replacement sells for eight bucks on the shelf at Lowe's and like the 60 watt replacement you can pay a dollar more to get the same bulb with a 5000k color temperature at daylight hot white that's nice and I also liked it too comes with a five-year warranty not quite as good as the 10-year warranty that you'll get with the ten-dollar cree 40 watt replacement but still good thanks for watching head to cnet com to check out my full review of this bulb along with the rest of my LED reviews for seen it appliances I'm right Chris you
