From the Manufacturer
The Westinghouse Lighting 03490 Nanolux 1-Watt S11 LED Bulb features a patented polymer magnification and dispersion system. These LED lamps deliver smoother, more uniform light distribution, enabling them to be used in a wide variety of applications. The vivid white color of the lamps are ideal for use in both indoor and outdoor applications, including signs, strand lights, lanterns, canopies and pendants. Nanolux LED lamps are compact, water-resistant and shatterproof. They are the only LED lamps listed for use in wet locations. These lamps are guaranteed for 50,000 hour life at a minimum - the equivalent of over 50 conventional lamps. These LED lamps decrease high maintenance costs by reducing the number of times a lamp needs to be replaced. Nanolux LED lamps are economically efficient, environmentally sound and can be used on flashing circuits. They are available in 1 and 3-Watt versions and can replace 7 to 20-Watt incandescent lamps. They use 88-Percent less energy and save up to $19.00 per lamp annually (based on the national average of $.10 per kWh).

Customer Reviews

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.

It was what I was looking for
This was what I was looking for, but be mindful of what it is. This 1 Watt LED bulb has the equivalent brigtness of a 7 Watt bulb (and the 3 Watt counterpart is equivalent to a 20 Watt bulb). In my case, I was looking to turn a table lamp into a night light -- hence this brightness is about right (or perhaps a little too bright).

It's a night-light, nothing more.
I will be terse since most people have covered this. I REALLY want to find a product that is close to CFLs, let alone incandescent, at a reasonable price. What this purchase proved to me is that the technology just isn't there yet. Soon, I am sure. However, this product is very underpowered and produces a blue hue. I do use the light in the hallway between the bedrooms in case people get up at nite!
