(12-Pack) 65-Watt Equivalent Soft White BR30 Dimmable Energy Star LED Light Bulb

Bought these bulbs 2 months ago and installed six. Three of them have burned out! That's 2 months use and they claim 22 years based on 3 hours a day. Well, we may have had them lit for as much as 8 hours daily since they are used in a kitchen. With that in mind, they should be expected to last 8 years and 3 months.Bottom Line - THREE OF SIX BULBS LASTED ONLY 2 MONTHS, 2% OF THE CLAIMED LIFE!Give me back incandescent bulbs!!!

These bulbs are cheap, with the plastic feeling very thin and light weight. The reflector/cover is a semi transparent plastic that has irregularities in it adding to the cheap feel. The only reason I got these is because my Philips buzzed with my new smart dimmer. I much prefer the Philips as the quality of the unit is perfect and the reflector is a milky white leading to uniform light distribution. These bulbs have obvious hot spots, but again, do not buzz when dimmed. Cheap materials don’t instill much confidence in the longevity of this product and I definitely wouldn’t use outside.

These LED lights are equally as bright as my regular bulbs. I swapped 2 out of 4 and was unable to tell the difference. Anyone walking into a room would never know the bulbs were LD vs Non-LED. However, I did notice (after very deliberate, careful examination) that the LED bulbs are slightly more focused with the power of lighting, meaning when you look directly at the bulbs it's stronger. The beam or spread does not appear in any way different than the non-LED bulbs. Very happy.Worth mentioning - I replaced the bedroom lighting and noticed these LED bulbs do not dim nearly as much. While the LED bulbs may dim 30-40% of strength, my non-LED bulbs dimmed closer to 80-85%... so if planning to replace bulbs where you want a more dimmable range, you may want to consider non-LED.Like the bulbs so much that I ordered another set to replace more. Will be buying again to finish the house.

We purchased these are replacements for our old incandescent ceiling lights, which we a pain to replace, given their location in one of the highest light sockets in our home. Our hope was that LED lights would require us to make less frequent replacements. These lights are compatible with our dimmer, which is a nice bonus.While these lights are a bright equivalent to 65W incandescent bulbs, we found that two of the bulbs arrived broken and unable to use. The manufacturer packaging inside was scant and probably caused the issue. I would recommend purchasing these bulbs at the store, where you can open the box and inspect them to ensure they are working. If you hear a rattling, there is a problem.Overall, I was frustrated with the lights, since two arrived broken. I would recommend elsewhere unless you can ensure that they will arrive safely.

These bulbs flicker intermittently (not continuously). I tested two of the bulbs and both would flicker. I missed window to return. I bought Philips bulbs and they are flicker-free.

BEWARE! BULBS CLEARLY STATE SOFT WHITE - THEY ARE YELLOW!The box clearly says "soft white" I assure you they are 100% faded yellow, causing a nasty mis match of coloring in the kitchen as I had to replace 1 bulb. And if the response is "soft white is yellow" this is a gross conceptual misrep and bs. As soft blue is not green. I had to remove all bulbs to make them all yellow. So HEADS UP - you are buying YELLOW, not soft white

I used one as a replacement for the same exact bulb that was installed when we bought the home new a year ago. It struck me as odd that the bulb was already going out as I expected a longer life from the advertising. That being said, the replacement bulb began flickering upon installation. I moved the bulb to a different fixture to make sure it wasn’t the fixture and the bulb did the same thing. I tried every new bulb in the package and all flickered. I put a Great Value bulb from Walmart in and the flickering went away instantly. The Ecosmart bulb is low quality and cheaply made. Do not buy. It’s a waste of money.

The color temperature of these are almost exactly like my soft white 65 watt incandescent version. But, they do seem slightly brighter. This may be because the beam is more focused and less spread-out. I'm not sure. The difference is slight (and not overpowering). However, I have noticed one of the bulbs flickering (not on a dimmer). So, my opinion is somewhat mixed on these.
