GENERAL ELECTRIC LED5DAGSW9 RELAX LED HD 5.5 WATT

Found two of these in a discarded lamp on the side of the road. They mimick incandescent lamps pretty well to an average user.

Personally I notice the inconsistencies immediately.

However that will not prevent me from using them, they're currently installed in my bathroom fixture. They're plenty bright. The light they emit is kind of tacky compared to a real incandescent lamp containing more of a bluish-pinkish tint.

The module inside is not a filament. It is actually a chip and board assembly.

Nice! Wonder why they tossed these too.

Good quality things are awesome. Bad quality things are not.

My guess is they either mistook them for cheap incandescent lamps or the people (being in a rich neighborhood) didn't care about them.

I'm more inclined to believe the latter as I've seen alot of neat stuff thrown out in that neighborhood.

Yeah, I've found lamps abandoned before. One time I got a pair of Sylvania F40T12/CWPs left behind a bush in a parking lot. A bit used, but plenty of life. I wonder if the owner actually had a ballast failure and thought it was the lamps? Oh well. His or her loss, my gain.

CWP? What's the P stand for? That's a strange place for abandoned lamps they must've really been feeling lazy that day.

The Relax lamps really do imitate incandescent quite well.

They do. I gave them side by side with Incans and the difference between the two is there but negligible..
