B22 3W 18-SMD 5050 LED White Light Bulb (220V)

Pros: Build quality is good, looks more expensive than it is. The light is transmitted in a wide area, due to the fact that there are no reflectors or collimator.

Cons: Consumes 16W on 240V ac. The light output is less than that of my 3W LEDs but the power consumption is very high, 16W. Not a GREEN lamp. A 10W halogen lamp provides more light output and needs only 10 watts. The current drawn is little bit more than 70mA at 240 volts.

Other: In the future I will consider a different lamp, more economic. Those with the three 1W LED seem to be a better solution.

Pros: This is a good bulb for use in countries with 220 volts and B22 fittings. One post has reported that these bulbs consume 16 watts of power. I state unequivocally that this is not true. The true figure is less than 5 watts. I assume the error is due to the difficulty in measuring the unusual current consumption waveforms which would require a very high quality true RMS meter or a heat based power meter.

Cons: At 3 watts there are not so many uses for this light. Some down-lights would be OK, toilets and perhaps enclosed outdoor lights, cupboards, fish tanks etc.

Other: I wish I had more places I could use them.

Pros: Cheap option for an LED light bulb, with reasonable light level in the right situation.
Standard 240v bayonet fitting.

Cons: I bought 2 to try them out. One failed within 2 seconds of turning it on. I can see at least one burnt LED in the set. I can probably salvage the others for use in other projects.
No diffuser over the LEDs means you really want to use them with a lampshade.

Other: I'd probably risk another one or two at this price to see if my 50% failure rate was a fluke. A reasonable option for a cheap LED light to try it out.
