I ordered 4 different blubs from DX. THe 18, 36, 48, and 61 led bulbs. Today I got the 18 and 36 led bulbs.
THe 18 is a multi colored bulb of very low light output...good at Christmas or as a nightlight
The 36 Led bulb is stronger than my Elly MXDL 1 watt (stock). It gives a wide spot, not an even all room light. Plenty powerful for a night reading light, or a workbench light. THe spot is almost too tight at 3 feet to use above the computer. I left the light on 2 hours...barely warm. THe quality seems good. Solid feel.

The other 2 bulbs are on the way now ( I think...just got another ship notice)... When they come I'll do all three in a beam shot- unless someone else gets theirs first and does a photo shoot.
 
I bought one very similar or the same as this awhile ago from Fifthunit - http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.1476

The LEDs started failing within a couple of hours, and within a couple of days the entire thing was essentially shot :mad:, so I'd be interested in how your lights hold up over even after a couple of weeks (hopefully far better than mine).
 
I have let one bulb run day and night... working fine...only slightly warm. About 6 days constant on: so far-perfect.
