This bulb can work with a dimmer but I donāt have one so I canāt test it
Immensely bright light bulb. Constant 4000 lumens is no joke.
This bulb would be nice for people who suffer from seasonal affective disorder. This bulb honestly boosts my focus and mood a little bit during the dark winter days here in Finland.
Overall I give this bulb a 10/10 rating.
size comparison to D4V2 flashlight
lovely double light bounce setup creates a beautiful soft lighting with this bulb. perfect!
(My bulb configuration when I bought it: voltage: AC220V /// spectrum: 4000K SOL /// small diffuser: leave big one /// bigger radiator: 120mm without fan /// reflector: 50mm /// add brightness for SOL: 200% LEDs /// socket: E27)
This thing is so impressive. I want one but am not sure about suitable light fixture styles. Any recommendations for fixture styles that would suit this beast?
Yea I was wondering what the āAā stands for. The title of this review has been corrected.
This bulb surely needs a big light fixture! A massive floor lamp like this might work nicely with this bulb. I recommend doing a ceiling bounce with a 50W bulb.
I donāt recommend fixtures like this unless you have a dimmer. 50W LED bulb without some kind of light diffusing solution would be unpleasant to look at.
I created my ceiling light bounce fixture from this IKEA ceiling lamp. Works perfectly in my living room:
Extra tip: there are inexpensive E27 (and other socket types) extender adapters available on Ebay and AliExpress so you can fit a large bulb like this on some fixtures that would not allow it otherwise. (like this )
For a while Iāve had a project on my mind to do an overkill desk lamp that would double as semi-portable light as well.
Some flexible base, a dimmer (a MUST), the biggest and baddest SunLike bulb with a 60 degree lens.
I lack time for it, but so far I mainly fail to find a really sturdy base.
That lamp is very nice. Quite far from what Iāve had on my mind (Diffuser + reflector rather than lens, not as overpowered, mounted rather than standalone) but it is still one of the most interesting lamps Iāve seen for sale.
Nice review Taskulamppu! This sure is an impressive bulb.
@Sunlike good fortune with your small business, I love your DIY experimentation. I think that you found a niche with these high power high CRI bulbs that is not covered yet by the big manufacturers.
BTW, looking after E40 bases I found an E40 bulbā¦ https://e40-led.eu/index.php/sample-sites/led-e40-hql-hqi-ersatz
100W, CRI95min (9698 in actual test), 11 000lm. And lens.
Even bigger overkillā¦aside from the fact that sometimes enough is enough, itās only 5000K, far too cold for me.
They offer CRI85 bulbs up to 160W and just under 22 000lm.
SunLike, you show several different radiators for the largest bulbs. I see how Taskulamppu has measure the bulb weight but Iām not sure if that measurement is relevant to the bulbs that you sell now.
Iād like to buy SunLike50AD with a lens and I have a few questions.
What is the weight with the passive and active radiators?
Do you have any sound pressure level measurement of the active bulb? I read that you describe it as silent but I would welcome so hard data to be able to decide whether itās silent enough for me.
How will doubling the number of COBs affect the beam of the variant with a lens?
I will do some discount with your next order. Too much unfinished ordersā¦. I need to workā¦
