I spotted this Feit LED "vintage" bulb at the orange DIY store the other day, so I picked one up because I haven't seen curved LED filament strips before.
The light output is very yellow at 2150k, even though the bulb envelope is clear. I don't know if this is from the phosphor mix, the LED wavelength or both. The LED strips appear to be covered in a rubbery looking phosphor sleeve, slightly different looking from the other LED filament strips I've seen where it looks like the phosphor was sprayed on or dipped. I might take this lamp apart to confirm this.
The carton states that the lamp is dimmable. I see a driver circuit board in the base of the lamp, and there is apparently a decent sized capacitor in there as the bulb fades out when the power is turned off. This would make me suspect that it has low flicker also.
At 250 lumens I won't be using it for general illumination, however it might be good for a nighttime reading lamp or a decorative accent lamp. Or maybe just a teardown experiment to inspect the LED strips and re-purpose the strips for something else.
