Received some of the 12W Thorfire LED Bulbs deal alerted in the following posts:
The box they come in is quite nice. Some of the wording on it is fun to read. 
The bulbs appear to be quite well made. Apparently, these are the lowest of the line as the 80 CRI option is the lowest available. There is 85, 90, and 95 CRI options also available. The tint is supposed to be just pure white, but the tint appears slightly green to me. Whatever the tint is, I don’t like it. My wife doesn’t like it at all and she loves cool tints. There is a short delay before the bulb lights up. At this moment, I regret the purchase. Maybe I’m just out of sorts from the flu virus that I’m shaking the last remnants of off. I give the bulbs a day or two more to grow on me.
EDIT: Pulled off the bulb. Tint is much better, but light dispersion is now just LED mule. Kind of like the heat sink. Seems to have some heft. Its anodized to a pretty cool color (better than the product pics). The color reminds me of pewter. Seems like it could be turned into a neat flashlight. The LED self is pressed in to the finned body. Trying to get it off without scratching the finish. The LED has thermal glue (unlike the product picture below).
