Flat, but curvy

The horseshoe-shaped string of lights is designed to disperse heat more effectively than traditional, bulb-shaped LEDs.

Compared with Cree

The SlimStyle's light output is similar to what you'll get from a Cree 60-watt replacement LED -- both bulbs put out 800 lumens. The Cree is slightly more efficient though, using only 9.5 watts. The SlimStyle uses 10.5 watts.
