Lepro E12 LED Candelabra Light Bulbs, 5000 Kelvin Daylight White 5.5 watt, 40 watt Equivalent B11 C37 Ceiling Fan Bulb Chandelier Bulbs, Type B Small Base Candle Lights, Plastic, Not-dimmable, 6-Pack

My old chandelier had been using incandescent bulbs, and it seemed I could hardly go a month without one of them burning out, and I tired of replacing them. So as I was already migrating to LED bulbs elsewhere, with positive results, I decided to try a set of chandelier style LEDs. Whereas the incandescent were 25 watts, these provide the equivalent of 40 watts while using less electricity. So a savings right there, while getting more light. What’s impressive though is that I bought this set in September of 2020, installed them immediately, and have been using daily ever since, and all six are still working. This is stated as non-dimmable, so as it’s running off a High-Low switch, I try to avoid flipping it low as I don’t know if it would damage the bulbs. This set has a frosted glass, so not as harsh as “naked” LEDs.

I have a small Brass and Glass Lantern Shaped light fixture hanging from my ceiling. It's beautiful and looks much more expensive than it actually was. BUT, who ever invented it wasn't thinking. It's totally enclosed on top and sides and completely open in the bottom. It's very small inside and hanging down in the center is a brass rod with TWO bulb sockets. I can barely squeeze my hand up in there to change the bulbs. With 2 regular bulbs running in there, the heat was horrible. They should've drilled some air escape holes in the glass on the top. Instead a regular bulb made it so hot inside there, that the bulbs blew out every 6 months or so. When one blew out, changing it was a problem. It is so tight inside that I could not avoid touching the brass or glass sides. It actually burned me to bump up against the brass and glass, even after waiting a short while. Frustrating. But then I switched to these LED bulbs. No heat inside there. No bulbs blowing out every 6 months. No burning my hands to replace them. And as a side feature, the LED bulbs have a plastic shield or cover on the bottom part of the bulb. With an open fixture like this, just looking up to see the fixture caused spots in front of my eyes because I would see the entire bulb glaring back down at me. These LED bulbs block the direct glaring light from the downward position, allowing me to look right up into the fixture without getting light spots in front of my eyes. I'm very glad I made the switch. LED's are not much more expensive than the old heat producing, electric wasting bulbs of the past, so why wait ??

Great for the overhead lantern in the patio outside our front door. Three of these brightly illuminate the outside area. But I wouldn't use these for our indoor ceiling fans because they would be way too bright.

40 watt bulbs x5 in my ceiling fan light outlet. So far, first impressions are: bright enough for my small painting studio, but not bright enough on their own. They seem just bright enough, ( will need additional easel light) but not overly bright where it is too much when you step into the room. I don't know what my ceiling fan/light can handle, but i think i could have gone brighter if the recently updated unit could handle it (which I am thinking it can). I am old school, not too high of watts for the unit that only can take so much. Things may be different now with new technology bulbs and fixtures though. This office is SMALL! Light is pleasing but not overwhelming. If you need ALOT of light, which I might have needed... i wouldn't be afraid to go to higher watt bulbs. I kind of wish I would have gone with 60 or 75 watt bulbs at least, maybe even 100 watts. It's a learning curve here. Over all, if I were using this light to paint by, all by itself, it wouldn't be enough in this small room, ... I would go for higher watts. If it's just an office, it's perfect. Not overwhelming at all but still plenty of light.

Fine. They're light bulbs. Light bulbs work or they don't. These work, and I HATE the fact that Amazon made me write a review.

Although these LED claim to emit an equivalent of 40 watts of standard, they still don't seem to equal that in brightness. Also keep in mind these emit light in a 240 degree "projection" fashion. So, in a ceiling pointed application, the light projects mainly toward the ceiling and not all around. These are a soft-white light (500 Lumens) similar to the old frosted incandescent bulbs. I find these to be somewhat unattractive in an exposed setting because of the large ugly unattractive base and in a single bulb ceiling fan application, 1/2 of the globe will be slightly darker and not uniform, but I doubt most people would notice.I've measured the working temperature of this bulb not to exceed 96 degrees Fahrenheit so, heat emittance level is very low compared to a 25w incandescent that can reach temperatures 237+ degrees. Bulb is Non-Dimmable. Lifespan is unknown.

Actually used these in illuminated Tiffany style animal pieces. Bright with little to no heat allows for longer lifespans.

This is sort of a canned review since it applies to all the recent LED bulbs I have purchases. I have tried a few others that did not fit or work. So it is from a live human and not a bot. LOL. Happy these worked! They all tested good and are very bright. It can blind you! LOL. I just hope they last as long as advertised. Bein LED. I wish there were US made ones to select from Strange that it seems 99% of smaller LED bulbs are made outside of the states, but the is the global market now.If they do not last long I will update my review accordingly. This is why I did not rate the longevity since I cannot say how long they will last. Good luck!
