A real bulb replacement

I love these lights. I've been gradually replacing all of the incandescents in my house with these. They are as bright or maybe just a little brighter than the 40 watt reveal bulbs they are replacing and they run much cooler (especially important during the summer months in Georgia). The have a very natural daylight color (unlike some others that have a greenish tint). I was concerned about the evenness of the light output due to the heat sinks casting shadows, but this is only a problem within about 6 inches of the bulb. After that there are no shadows. My only gripe is a very faint hum, which is sligtly louder when partially dimmed. If there is any other noise nearby, you cannot hear it - the fan in the air conditioning, the refrigerator, even the TV box are all louder.

When I picked these up they were so inexpensive compared to other brands I couldn't resist. Color and brightness are good, I was worried they would be too dim. So far I have been completely satisfied with these bulbs.

I'm trying to replace all the bulbs I can with energy efficient one. I like the LED ones because they're less toxic than the florescent ones, and last longer. This one went into a lamp we keep on most of the time, and will save us its cost over its life-time. It comes on quickly and is bright enough for an accent lamp, which is what we wanted.
As they come down in price, and when they're on sale, I'll be getting more of them.

Purchased these bulbs to replace some incandescent light bulbs we had on a dimmer. The just kept burning out and heated up the master bath. These are are great, dim-able bulbs, although they don't dim as much as the incandescent bulbs. Still they don't blind you or your mate at 4am. They are enough to see but not overpowering on the lowest setting. When you turn them on full they light up the bathroom nicely. You can easily shave and do other things that require bright balanced light. They don't leave shadows every where like other bulbs I've tried.
Liked them some much we went back and purchased more for the living room.

Bought these LED lights to replace existing ceiling canned lights but with the new LED bulb shape made the bulbs extend beyond ceiling surface which to be honest was a bit of an eye soar. Having got past that the dimming functionality worked OK but the lighting was not bright enough so I had to return them.
I expected these to perform at a higher grade my expectations were too high.
For the price, if you're looking to replace lights in for a small room you should be ok.

Puts out excellent warm natural light. Dims better then other brands. I like that the light extends the length of the bulb, but the design creates darker areas on a shade where the bulb does not profuce light.

I was pleasantly surprised by how bright the 60W bulb actually was. I liked the color of light (3000K). But the shape was a bit odd and didn't fit a couple of my desk lamps.

Great Lightbulb

So far, I have had the lightbulb for about 2 months and it is running great. The heat sinks on the outside allow you to touch the lightbulb even if it is on, but if you touch them it is extremely hot. The only reason I gave this bulb a 4 is because it is a little on the pricy side and unless it lasts a very long time(which it should being an LED) then its not worth the money.

Found these bulbs for sale @ $4.99 each. Bought 4 of them and have been very pleased other than they get hot to the touch after about 10 minutes. Haven't had them a complete electrical billing cycle yet but they are in areas of our house where lights are used often so I'm looking to see if I can notice the difference in ussge

A good alternative to CFL

I picked up this as a test replacement for a hybrid CFL. I really like the instant on brightness this bulb (and most LED ones) offer. The color was a little warmer than I expected, but nothing near what would push me to replace/return it. Paid $15 for it on sale, which isn't too bad for a LED bulb and only a few dollars more than a hybrid CFL, so if the longevity holds the value will be great.

The light bulbs are great. The light is high quality and emits a great light color. Had a problem with one bulb as it quit working after two weeks (supposed to last 20 years). Returned the bulb to Best Buy and they replaced it.

overall, I was very impressed with the light. I replaced all four lights in our ceiling fan which had previously had four 60w incandescent bulbs. We now have a little more brightness, longer life and a much reduced energy consumption!

It's surprising that a bulb that looks like a toy
appears to work so well. So far it seems to be worth the price.
If you didn't know the bulb was a polymer ......

I replaced my blown bulb with this one in a lamp controlled by a dimmer. It works fine with dimmer but not quite as smooth of dim levels as an incandescent bulb. It's much brighter than I expected and works great.

Good value, I like it. It's bright and much safer than the coil bulbs. Can't wait to see how long it lasts
