Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

Pros:
- fit my reading lamp holder
Cons:
- it goes very hot, not really a cons now, but have to check how long will last. - measured 100mA @ 12VDC, so it look more a 1.2W instead of a 2.5W. Maybe the specs need and amendment.
Other:
Be aware these are DC only. if your reading lamp has just a transformert (AC source) this lamp will flicker and cannot be used. I modded my reading lamp to meeting the DC output and i got nice "moon" light at only 2.5W instead of 20W of original incandescent.
Bottomline:
It's an average light, nothing bad nothing good. Do not expect to get a 2.5W lamp and will NOT compare to a 20W incandescent. More likely a 10W. Works fine for my reading lamp, enough light and nice degrees of light cone but will keep waiting for more powerfull light from DX
