Cool Bulb! Very low amount of light but extremely energy efficient!
»
This light is advertised as a 1 watt LED bulb. I bought two of these a while back ($12.50 each) to help reduce our electric usage. I run most of our house on solar so every watt helps.
I already have a ton of energy efficient bulbs, all of which were Compact Fluorescents. The closest bulb I can compare to this 1watt LED is my 7watt CF bulb. What surprised me is that it was clear that 7 of these LED bulbs wouldn't output as much light as my single 7watt CF bulb. This surprised me considering LED's are supposed to be more energy efficient.
So what I did next is measured 2 of these bulbs over two days using my kill-o-watt meter. My killowatt meter shows 0watts being consumed even when measuring both of the bulbs combined, so clearly they are using less than .5 watts each. After measuring total watt hours consumed over two days and running the numbers, I found they were each consuming around 0.3 watts of electricity. This means I can run almost 25 of these and still use the same electricity as my single 7watt CF bulb. 25 of these would definitely have more light than the single 7watt CF bulb, but that would also be very costly... $300! These are best for specific places, anywhere a dim light is useful.
I like the bulb because it's so tiny and consumes almost an unmeasurable amount of electricity. It also doesn't require mercury like CF bulbs do. The light output is low, but about what I expected since I read the other reviews. I'll be buying the "3 watt" version sometime in the future and will post how many watts the 3watt version really consumes and how it compares to this "1 watt" bulb.
NOTE: The reason why I gave this only a 3 is because this isn't really a 1 watt LED bulb, it's a 0.3 watt LED bulb advertised as a 1 watt bulb. It's also somewhat on the blue side. If the price drops a lot, I might get more of these.

is tiny really better?

Not worth it for a very low powered night light
»
It gives less light than a very low power night light. Personally, I really don't like the illumination/light provided by led lighting.
Also, after buying I went to my local hardware store that had exceptionally inexpensive led lighting of all kinds subsidized by Southern California Edison.
A plug in night light with a brighter output than this bulb for .49 cents. Screw in CFC (or whatever they are called) florescent bulbs for like a dollar (again local power company subsidized) and not the cheap knock of type found in local dollar stores that only last a short time.
Don't bother with this bulb unless you really need virtually no light for some unimaginable personal reason/use.

Tiny bulb good for a boat maybe very little light
»
I believe this bulb gives off the same amount of lumens as 1 watt incan. bulb but uses next to no energy.... give off maybe at best the same amount of light as a 2 watt bulb
