Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The bulbs are perfect and the ambient light is ideal. They fit in any normal light socket (non-candelabra) they also look more like normal light bulbs, which looks better in any fixture where the bulbs are visible. They were delivered in original pack...  Read More

They are lightweight, and very bright. The differences come in when you are dealing with brightness, durability and how they work. They are a very cool light spectrum, and the light tone on the ceiling of the bedroom immediately went from a warm orang...  Read More

Mine are located in the bathrooms, filling the rooms with pretty intense light. This also helps since our shower stall doesn't have its own light. I like the bright daylight type of light it casts on my work area.

Bought these online to avoid the covid headache at the stores. At just $1. Highly recommend. These replacements are cool.



Cons

These lasting only 8 months equates to about 1,200 hours of useful life in the bulbs. Daylight is 5000 degrees kelvin. There is nothing that says anything about replacement and it is actually a short in the bulb as it goes on and off as you screw it o...  Read More

The 5 year warranty offered is almost impossible to cash in with the amazon seller. Very distracting. Very doubtful of 25,000 hours claim.

This means 4 of the six bulbs have failed in less than two years -- a far cry from the touted 23 years.


Of the two remaining bulbs, one has been in 735 days (just over 2 years), and the other one (in a different location) is at 644 days.

Price


My last energy bill before these light bulbs was $100.


I put in these lightbulbs everywhere, and my bill this month was $32!


Cree is a really good bulb but a little pricey.

Shipping


Update:i did write the company, as the bulbs are warranted for three years; they promptly shipped me six new bulbs, so i'm back...  Read More


Prompt delivery and bulbs are cool & bright.


We did have one burn out less than a month but the seller was very helpful and sent a free replacement.

Packaging/appearance


Packaged well, nice and bright, great for the low cost.


And we wanted cool white that we had picked out at home depot but they didn't even have one package of these in stock!


The packaging was fine and they were delivered on time.

Competitiveness


I'm going to try a different brand.


I used these for a cheaper alternative to cree light bulbs.
