Does this bulb give off a pretty even distribution of light in all directions, or does it give off more light in one particular direction?

I used it to replace the incandescent lamp (Panasonic FFV3420005S Night Lamp) in a Panasonic Whisper Warm Vent Fan - FV 11VHL2. In this particular application the light is as diffuse as the original incandescent - which burned out after ~ 1000 hours of use.

on the right side only, i like it that it illuminates when on. Depending on where the furniture placed, you'll find the switch location is convenient and other is bad.

It gives a very wide and spread lighting. (Not directional) the ceiling in my house is typical 9ft. It works perfect. 4 months after I installed 50 of these throughout the entire house and they work perfect. I dropped a few of them accidentally during installation but didn't break nothing. Good purchase

Well, the 3 bulbs on gives quite a bit of light, but you have to remember that the shades are opaque so no light comes through them, therefore the light is very directional.

Michael, I'll just add that the design of the bulb will affect the distribution of light as well. I use a halogen mini-spot in mine that focuses the light into a relatively tight beam. Are you limited to using just one fixture? Perhaps two (or more) would solve your problem. Good luck.

It's a bit more focused than just a standard light bulb. From the lens part out, it will send light out in all direction but it is more intents at the center. I use it for a replacement light for my Fiber Optic Christmas Tree. Hardly any heat and it looks good. I used it in a Floor lamp and it puts a good colorful spot on the ceiling.. Hop that helps.

I cannot answer this question with an estimate in number of degrees, but it's plenty broad. I have mine installed in a narrow space and it it completely illuminated. It is not some sort of spot beam, it is broadly dispersed bright light and remarkably powerful for such little electricity.

Not sure...but it does give out a lot more light than any other one I had in the past.

LEDs is a directional light, with that being said it depends how you install the lights. if you point it down towards the floor, it will only shine the floor. point it horizontal the light direction will be the same way. unlike a light bulb where there is a 360 illuminated. I personally have 15% tint windows, so you can't really tell from the outside. good luck with purchase

it depends on the light you have, some have a straight plug and some have a plug at a 45 degree angle, there are two different bulbs for the different plugs.

I have found it to be a truer more even light. I wouldn't say it's brighter but more clear and even. Shadows don't seem to appear.

Well the main benefit I found was that it's much brighter than I was able to find with a drop in LED bulb, and it does end up looking better. The lights here are more directional than drop in bulb replacements I've seen.

The blacklight tube will probably put out more light in general, but this Sunlite bulb you can put it in a directional lamp holder like I did, to only have the blacklight pointing in only one direction.

If I put higher watt bulbs in I get more light... its not like the florescent I had, really bright light. I like the "look" of the lights, I am still working on the watt bulbs to be using. Right now I have two outer higher watt, and the center less. Will probably be changing around until I get the adjustment I like. Its not a direct bright light.

Good omnidirectional light distribution for down and up lighting, particularly with light fixtures with shades. Only had a few weeks, but happy with performance, color temperature and actually seems to brighten up rooms for equivalent output filament based bulbs.

YES I love this light. Does not radiate light everywhere just where directed.

My two cents--I don't think it is like a spot beam. It seems to have a pretty good spread. Brightness is going to have a lot to do with the room, color of the walls, size. The light is pretty much the same as coming through a frosted glass. We got it for the fan and have additional lighting in the room.
