LED Bulb

LED Bulb

I bought this LED light bulb today in one of those ubiquitous small lighting shops you find around town. It was $13, which is about a third of what I’ve seen the same item for on the web. The packaging is very strange, it doesn’t list a country of origin and the only marking on the bulb are the numbers 1129. It claims to be 1.8 Watts, and I can believe it, because it hardly gets hot at all. You can comfortably touch it, even after it has been on for several minutes. The light is a bit towards the blue, but it is not unpleasant. I think it will be a good reading light.

Is Par the brand name?
