I googled that model, it doesn't really seem to have all that many filaments for its wattage rating, so I doubt it's underdriving those LEDs like the dubai lamp. The special thing about it isn't the lumen/wattage, but the longevity by reducing the amount of stress on the LEDs

When this made the rounds first a while ago, I wondered what the fuss was about and compared. At that time I had only the 'candles' with E14 socket, non-dimmable, clear, at 2.5W, 230V/50Hz:

which seemed comparable, though running at about double wattage.

Anyway, they last and last, and I'm perfectly happy with their light.

Meanwhile I upgraded everything else also, and have a few of these

also non-dimmable and clear, for lamps with a single E24 socket, which should be bright, at 7.5W & 10.0W, 230V/50Hz.

Still very happy with the light, but can't say much about lasting, because only about 2 to 3 years in use, while the candles are now 5 to 6 years old.

All 2700k btw. I like it that way.

edit: I should add, before that I followed the fad with the CFL stuff, none of which lasted longer than 6 months,

made ugly light, and that not even instantly(warm up), sometimes with noisy chirping.

So for me it looks like I should have skipped the CFL phase until these were available.

To be honest I wouldn't want to light living spaces with CRI 80 LEDs, no matter how long they last or how efficient they are.

Yah, Yah. I hear that so often. Maybe I'm colorblind, and you are all tetrachromates, but I don't see any color-misrepresentations here. And I've tested that.
