Great Eagle Lighting Corporation 100W LED Light Bulb Equivalent 1500 Lumens A19 Warm White 2700K Dimmable UL Listed (6-Pack)

> Retail box constructed of very thin, flimsy, cardboard, providing little protection. I was sure that one or more bulb would fail to work, so I tested them immediately -- and ALL worked fine. > Nominally as bright as a 100-125watt incandescent bulb (but seems to be not quite as bright as Sylvania 72978 1600 lumen daylight LED bulbs. The Great Eagles may be 1200-1400 lumens). > Most of the fixtures in my home are rated for a maximum of 75watt incandescent bulbs -- mostly because of the heat that incandescents generate. LED bulbs produce very little heat, and draw 1/10th or less the electricity -- so you can use much brighter LED bulbs than most fixtures are rated for. I've replaced all the 60-75watt incandescent in my home with 1600 lumen LEDs, and the effect is incredible -- its SO MUCH brighter. I never realized that I've been living in dimly-lit caves most of my life -- really! The Great Eagle Daylight bulb has a "color temperature" of 5000K, which means "daylight" color (the light from many other bulbs is reddish [aka "warm"] or bluish [aka "cool"]). The Great Eagle Daylight bulbs (and other "daylight" bulbs) really have that wonderful crisp effect of daylight. Everything in my home looks "new". Indoors at night is like sitting on my patio on a sunny afternoon. Wonderful! > Light bulbs are now described by the metal screw-in base size ("E") and the shape size of the glass part ("A"). The Great Eagle Daylight bulb has a standard, ordinary, medium, base, i.e., "E26" (E27 in Europe = 1 inch = 26-27mm wide) like all of, or the vast majority of, the light-bulbs in your house or apartment. The glass part of "A19" bulbs is about the size of a 75 watt incandescent bulb, so they fit well in fixtures designed for 60-75 watt incandescent bulbs (in comparison, the Sylvania 72978 1600 lumen bulbs is much larger -- the size of a 125 watt incandescent bulb) HOW WELL DOES IT WORK WITH DIMMERS? > The Great Eagle Daylight works well with my "legacy" "incandescent" Lutron Skylark fan/light controller for my ceiling fans, and a Lutron "legacy" "incandescent" Credenza dimmer for my floor lamp. However, in both cases, the light level dropped off very abruptly below about 70% of the slider travel. It was difficult to adjust to a light level below about 30%. So I upgraded to a Lutron Maestro fan/light controller and a Lutron Skylark dimmer, both rated for dimmable LEDs. But, neither would dim the Great Eagle Daylight below about 70%, at all. I've since learned that this is typical for moderately-priced upgrade dimmers. > FLICKERING -- I haven't notice any flickering with Great Eagle Daylight bulbs. This is a powerline issue -- some dimmable bulbs flicker when used with some "legacy" "incandescent" dimmers when there is a fluctuation in line voltage. The LED-rated Lutron dimmers are supposed to eliminate this effect -- but I haven't been using them long enough to confirm this (my local power is very stable). > NOISE -- Although not related to the Great Eagle Daylight dimmable LED lightbulbs, ceiling fans can buzz and make noises when used with "wall switch" controllers at less than maximum speed -- and that noise is said to be bad for the motor. The Lutron Maestro fan/light controller is said to eliminate this, and I've heard no buzzing of the fan with the Maestro controller. Indeed I may upgrade my other ceiling fans to Maestro controllers primarily for this purpose (with the possible added benefit of eliminating even occasional flickering of dimmable LED bulbs).

Here we have everything that LED lighting initially promised to become, but took awhile to get there: (1) At 2700K, these bulbs emit the gorgeous, calming, soft white light our childhood memories demand. (2) They're dimmable (don't underrate that fact!). (3) At this point, their life expectancy exceeds that of many Generation X humans. (4) Prices have come down to the point where bulk-buying like this is really the way to go. (5) And then the big one: Because they only use 14 watts of electricity to generate the equivalent of 100W of illumination, they can be used in pre-LED fixtures originally designed to max out on 40-or-60-watt halogen bulbs. You'll be getting more light/lumens from your same old fixtures! A best-in-class product and an elite value at this low cost. - (Was this review of use? If so, let me know by clicking "Helpful."

Love the quality of the LED bulbs from Great Eagle. They always work, no flicker or delay, they’re reliable, and they are a fair price compared to other sellers. The 4000K hue is our preference because as we get older we need bright light. The soft white (2700k) is too dim for us and the 5000k is too glaring. 4000K is perfect. I always also pay attention to the lumins, which tells you the brightness-somewhat equivalent to the wattage in an incandescent bulb. The higher the lumins, the brighter the light; the K number tells you the hue. We are using these bulbs in our kitchen, in an opaque globe that blocks some of the light so it needs brighter bulbs. They work great. We use the 4000k all over our house— but did find that in a ceiling fan in a bedroom with 4 open globes, these are too bright so ordered 4000k bulbs with lower lumins for that particular room and fixture. I recommend these bulbs.

Unfortunately, I'm having to send this product back to Amazon. This is a very good product but, it's not quite working out for me and my near-50 year old, 3-way floor lamp. In my case, I've been looking for the ideal 3-way, LED bulb with 4000K brightness for my lamp, that would be compatible with a mechanical timer. I've been using CFLs with this lamp and they work but, like most everyone else, I hate the "warm-ups", and I think that their quality has suffered as of late. About 2 years ago, I replaced my old CFL (it lasted 8 years) with a new one. Okay, for a $20 bulb, and with my home's high usage of it, I thought it would last another 8 years. I was okay with that. NOPE! Didn't even make 2 years!!! All the while, my lamp's mechanical timer has been in it. No lighting problems, till now... Generally speaking, there are few 3-way LED choices out there, especially those with a UL and/or an ETL listing (sorry but, SAFETY FIRST!!!) A few friends recommended getting a bulb with a dimmer capability but, I didn't find any 3-way bulbs that were dimmable. So, I called myself compromising by getting these. These DO WORK and the 4000K brightness is excellent. However, I later found out that the 150 bulb wattage was also used with this lamp by other family members. So...back to the drawing board on getting the ideal 3-way LED bulb for my home's needs. After doing a bit more research and talking with family members yesterday, here's a possible solution for me. According to a relative of mine who's also an electrician, I CAN get and use a 3-way LED, non-dimmable bulb with my lamp but there's a catch...he recommended that I buy and use a DIGITAL timer instead of using my analog, mechanical timer. He thought that most digital timers on the market today are compatible with LED bulbs, more so than the mechanical ones. Okay...so now I have to get a digital timer in addition to a 3-way LED bulb. I'm hoping that this set-up will work...we'll see. And that's why I have to send these bulbs back to Amazon.
