I saw this at Menards and decided to try one out. Price was $10.88 (sale priced) and they are running a 11% store wide rebate, so it will end up under $10.
Bulb is a fin-less heatsink design with vents to route air through additional internal heatsinking to help cool it.
Lighting facts: 800 lumens, 11 watts (72.7 L/w), 3000K, 40,000 hrs., dimmable.
My measurements and observations: power factor .95, 10.6 watts @ 122 volts
Bulb would dim smoothly down to dark on an ordinary triac dimmer. Faint buzzing at middle settings noticeable. No buzz without dimmer. No noticeable flicker.
Construction quality seems rather good for this price point. Bulb has some weight to it given the amount of aluminum used in the construction.
The plastic dome will pop off with a screwdriver revealing 20 mid power SMD LEDs on aluminum core board which was mounted to the aluminum bowl/reflector.
Overall I'm quite pleased with this bulb. I will be buying more soon as the sale and rebate will be over this weekend.
