While I generally like them, in the lamp in my main room, which has 3 sockets, they are very audibly humming (Philips).
Still insane going from like regular 40W bulbs to something like 13W LED bulbs, which are about as bright as regular 100W ones (it says 1521 lumen). It's such a stark difference in brightness while eating just a fraction of the previous wattage.
