g16.5 led bulb

I ordered a bunch of these for my patio. Worked great and dimmed great. Then I broke a couple- so I ordered again. The new bulbs were identical- however when dimmed to 10 percent, they didn’t match the other older bulbs. Same company, same specs etc. I’ve since read the critical reviews… no gripes like mine, but I’m in agreement that the bulbs do separate from the base after time. Also have received a couple that never worked. I’m trying to decide if I should buy all new bulbs… and perhaps from a competitor.

I had to try a few different kinds before I got to these. They're the perfect white that mimics traditional incandescent - not too blue, not too red. Just. Right. The "filaments" have a cool look to them that isn't overtly fake or tacky looking like some others. They dim very well, a much wider range down low from off to barely on at all compared to the last ones I had which went from off to ~30% and could brighten from there. Nice for leaving on at night just enough to see where you're going. Occasionally they flicker, but it's a rare occurrence and easily remedied by turning them up briefly and then back down. Not sure, but for me it's an easy thing to look past when everything else is spot on, including the price.

We have two 6 bulb fixtures above a long mirror over our double sink and the bulbs burned out frequently. They are the G16.5 E12 clear glass style, which look really nice but are quite hot and take a lot of electricity. I couldn't find the originals and so I replaced them with 60W 2,800 temp, 560 lumen clear bulbs which were a bit brighter than the original ones. I wanted to replace these with similar looking LED bulb and this one is perfect, I just ordered another pack of 6. They are true to the 2,700 temperature, which is a nice warm glow and their 400 lumen rating is accurate. They are slightly warm, but not hot, to the touch like the ones they are replacing. What's great about these is the slight twist to the LED strings (see picture). This makes them look like natural incandescent bulbs rather than awkward futuristic LEDs. When on you can't tell the difference between the LED and the original. When off and looking head on the LED strings don't really stand out. Probably great for any fixture where you want that clear glass warm light. They make a cool white 5,000 temp one which some might like. I put them on a Lutron Diva dimmer today and they work fine.

Light is on yellow side of lightJust beware as where you are going to use them

It took me a while to find these as I wanted something very specific... I needed bulbs with the small e12 size screw-in base to fit my ceiling fan. But I also wanted the retro "Edison" style bulb look. They had to be dimmable and I really wanted LED (my experience with various brands of incandescent versions of this same bulb is that they don't last long).So, I came across these on Amazon. They arrived on-time, in well protected packaging and in perfect new condition. I've been using them for a month now and they are great. They dim all the way down with no flicker or buzzing. If I were to pick on anything negative, they produce a very warm/yellowish light. But that's what 2700K temp bulbs look like. They were clearly marked as such, so no fault of the bulb. I just think I'd prefer something a little cooler, say around 3500K.Anyways, at approx $4 per bulb, they aren't cheap. They'll need to last at least 12 months to be worth the switch from incandescent. For now, I am giving them 5 stars with a solid recommendation to buy. If they don't last, I'll update the review accordingly.

I liked the way it looked and it was the right size for the location. It adds zing to the plan all white tile, cabinets and walls and coordinates wire new countertop.

I have an 18-bulb chandelier with analog dimmer that previously had incandescent bulbs and was running hot. I searched through dozens of Amazon bulbs and these bulbs seemed to have the fewest complaints of defective bulbs.Although they cost more, I am confident I made the right choice. I have been using them for several weeks now and not a single bulb has died, and all of them arrived intact. The color temperature is very similar to the incandescent bulbs I replaced. I think these are even brighter, but about 1/10th power with virtually no heat.Several reviewers claimed that they had problems with their dimmer switches, but these worked fine with the standard analog dimmer (unfortunately, I do not know the brand), no flickering.The light from them is even and bright.The bulbs are glass - several other (larger) LED bulbs I use are plastic and won't break if dropped - but these feel fragile. As stated above despite feeling fragile (not cheap), all of the bulbs (18 - 3x6) shipped on working order.Normally, I don't waste time writing an Amazon review, but since these bulbs were as good if not better than the description, I felt I should share my experience.

Received package today. Opened up and noticed that these bulbs were not LED. The box seems to indicate that they are, but these are incandescent (i.e. filament) bulbs.Annoying.At least Amazon returns seems to be simple enough. Just no new lightbulbs for the bathroom today.

These bulbs work as advertised, although at low brightness they do exhibit a flicker, not overly noticeable unless you're paying attention but could cause irritation if you're sensitive to that sort of thing.Had them for about 2 months now and none of them have blown, but I don't use them all that much (maybe a couple hours a week in total). They were shipped well in a box with foam packaging for all the bulbs so none were damaged on receipt.

Nicely shot photo on Amazon, but in real life, the physical features within the bulbs are not as noticeable especially when lit. Not as bright imagined, and one bulb dead after a month, and another one is flickering. If the set was less than $10, the score would have been higher. But for the price paid, the quality is unacceptable. Will never purchase again.

I like the price fir the 6 pack, much less than the Big Box stores and don’t get as hot as the original incandescent bulbs we replaced.

These were used to replace vanity light bulbs in fixtures were other bulbs would not work per size. Most candelabra bulbs are elongated and thus unfit for this particular application. These bulbs fit perfect and they work well with most dimmers.
