I have that bulb - it is quite bright, but it gets very hot - so much that I stopped using it.
One problem with it is that when you screw it in, there is no guarantee that the LEDS will be pointing towards the water in your tank. In mine, it was pointing straight up in to the hood. That can be fixed by adding a bit of solder to the end of the base.

Indeed it does - I had to really force it to to the first time, but it pivots easily now. I guess that is to be expected for stuff from DX
