The verdict

A single color A19 bulb. Its white light is good (CRI 87, Rf 90), it dims down to 11 lm, its warmest white is 2754K, and flicker risk is high.

The flicker is the problem. At full brightness it measured 92% percent flicker. I would keep it out of reading lamps, desks and rooms where anyone is flicker sensitive.
