Well, I got my first bulb yesterday, and boy are they directional. I have a standard lamp in the living room, and the LED bulb does not cast enough light downwards to read by - while a 60W incandescent is almost too bright.

On the other hand, in a downward-facing ceiling fixture, they are excellent.

Thank you PaW for the Vizio link; using a cheap bathroom light bar as my demonstration board will save me a bit of grief.

As for wattmeters: I am planning to get four $3 Harbor Freight digital multimeters, connect them to show Amperes for each of the four bulbs I want to display (LED, CFL, 40 or 60w Incandescent, 45 or 65W R30). People will see bigger numbers for the Incandescents, that'll be all they need. Done, & done.
