I'd like to know how this led bulb compares to the other Amazon RV reading lamp-the one called "Gold Star"?

I do not recommend this product. I purchased 2 of them for my RV and although they are bright the LEDs overheat and go out till they are cooled off.

They are both excellent fixtures, the Green Long Life 9090110 has a greater life expectancy: 100,000 hours while the Gold Stars fixtures only offer 60,000 hours.

I haven't had the problem of overheating that PeteM described. I have two of the Green LongLife fixtures mounted on the wall above my wife's and my bed in our trailer. We have had them running almost continuously since I installed them more than five months ago. We chose the Green LongLife 9090110 fixture over the Gold Star GW21500 because the Green fixture shields the "bulb" from shining directly in your eyes while it appears that the Gold Star doesn't - something I consider to be a major consideration for a reading light.

Listed by whom? The one shown on Amazon says "39 watt 5100K Cool color temp lamp with 100,000 hour life based on LM-80 tests" Do you mean by an agency like UL?

I don't personally find I experience better visibility from the Silverstar, and in addition to extra money, remember as well that the Silverstar has a shorter design life. You'll not only pay more for them, you'll replace them a lot more often. Last year I was able to find the design life data on Osram Sylvania's site, but I couldn't find it just now. However, you can expect to replace XtraVisions more often than standard halogens, and Silverstars more frequently than XtraVisions. If I recall correctly, the difference in design life can come out to years for many drivers. The brighter bulbs achieve the extra "brightness" by burning a smaller filament at a higher temperature, so life suffers heavily.

I have used a 100 watt in it for a long time and then I got a chrome played 75w bulb (totally worth it) which made the light not as bright due to the chrome. That's the last thing you have to consider with the high watt bulbs, will you really want to sit under it? It's so bright I get headaches from regular bulbs

Actually, I ordered two different lights by mistake and ended up returning this one. The one I kept is the Bulbrite dimmable G25 LED warm white 2700K bulb. If you search by this description, I just entered a review on this bulb. I didn't actually mean to order the Verbatim bulb for exactly the reason you're asking - it was too hard to tell the size - but I put in it my basket and forgot it was there when I finally checked out. The Bulbrite gives a much clearer explanation of the size. As for the dimmer, the fixture I'm using the bulb in isn't dimmable. I may have paid a bit more for this dimmable bulb but I couldn't find one that wasn't dimmable that I liked. I was trying to match the typical "vanity globe" lights - they're referred to as G25. The bulbrite bulb will fit the G25 fixture.

I have both the replacement lamp from Amazon and the OEM installed...one on either side. I see no difference in the brightness or light. It was a good match for me.

Sorry don't know. It was a recommend bulb from Facebook people i didn't know.

I ordered two LED bulbs from Amazon, one burned out immediately. It had said Samsung, I believe, but only used Samsung parts and was made in China with poor quality control obviously.From my research, LED lamps are more directional, so it would depend on whether you wanted task lighting or a more diffuse lamp. Try to avoid bulbs made in China.

I am using a 40W equivalent LED bulb and it's actually good. I highly recommend it, too, because it doesn't heat up (which makes it safer to use), and it's really energy efficient. The lighting is brighter and pleasing too, compared to the others I've tried. Hope it helps!

I would suggest trying any less expensive bulb than the PIAA. High price didn't convert to good quality. The low beam on the PIAA performs well but the high beam is terrible.

We have 2 installed for reading lights in our bedroom. We have been delighted with them. Make sure that when you get the package that the light bulb is included (it is supposed to be there but one was missing in my box). You will find that the bulbs are very expensive---at Home Depot they were almost $50.00 (yep, you read it right). I ended up getting some extras from Amazon for about $10.00 each. The good news is that they last forever---they are LED lights, and do not generate any heat at all. I am going to order two more, now that I think about it.

I ended up returning the wall lamps since they were too large for the space. However, I did buy a different lamp that has an LED bulb that is supposed to last for years. That is what is so great about LED bulbs: they use very little electricity and last for a long time.

I'm not sure I don't want you to purchase the wrong lamp, I put in the model number from my JVC and it showed me the best lamp for me, and it's working perfectly, I have to order another one so that I may have a spare, like a spare tire. lol.

Actually, I'd really recommend that you use an LED bulb for this lamp since it doesn't heat up. Also, using a 40W equivalent LED Globe bulb worked best for me in terms of lighting (that is, if you want your light to be bright but also very relaxing for the eyes) and this bulb, specifically, is really durable and energy efficient.

Thanks for the info. I hope to goodness that the lamp life is not 3,000hrs! I've been waiting years to buy a projector that doesn't require rip-off bulb replacements. My own HS201 is on a UPS truck at this very moment, waiting to be delivered to my house...

I use an LED globe bulb for this fixture with 350 lumens and the light is just outstanding and bright, but only consumes 5W. It doesn't heat up and it perfectly fits. This bulb is really a good find for this lamp, I highly recommend it Triangle Bulbs T90020 (Pack of 2) G16 Decorative Globe Light Bulbs 300 Lumen 5-watt LED Light Bulb with E26 Base, Color 3000K, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

I have the same model of lamp. But it is good to share with a fellow customer my experience with the 10 w whish has the same structure. I had a 10 w whish did not lite one day. I open and at the inside that this type of lamp has integated circuit with a non replaceble led bulb. So the best advice is to discard and replace it with a new one.
