A260FUS27B1-R infinia A19 10 Watt (60-Watt Replacement) 800 Lumens LED Light Bulb, Soft White (2700K), Dimmable

I have tried over a dozen different types and brands of LED replacement bulbs, and this is the one that I finally arrived at. The reasons I like it?*The color is almost perfectly identical to an incandescent 60 watt bulb. I cannot tell a difference at all.*The quality is excellent. Of course I haven't used them for 20 years yet, but I have filled my whole house with these and they have been trouble free. Just handling them, I can sense their quality, as well.* The price is good. While not the cheapest on the market, they are still in the "reasonable" range.* The size is perfect. Some LED replacements are bigger than their incandescent counterparts. Because of this they will not fit in all light fixtures.*The appearance is great. They look good. They don't draw attention to themselves. Only a trained eye would be able to tell that it is an LED.*They are dimmable.*They are made for enclosed fixtures--and seem to work just fine in them. They don't get as hot as some LED's.The drawbacks?*Just one--when using the dimming feature it works okay to a certain point. At that point, the light becomes very gray. Definitely not as warm as an incandescent that is dimmed all the way down and has an orange glow to it.Otherwise, if you want an LED that looks and acts just like your old 60-watt bulbs, this is about as perfect as it gets.

These bulbs are rated for use with dimmers. In our case, they're on dimmers but we keep them on the brightest setting and have no problem at all. But I noticed that, on some intermediate brightness settings, the bulbs flash wildly. If you plan to use these with dimmers for mood lighting, you may want to shop around.Since I originally posted this review, it was recommended that we have the "wrong dimmers". We have LEDS produced by others that work just fine in our dimmers. These bulbs are trash. DO NOT BUY THEM.Update 2023These bulbs lasted over nine years until one of them dimmed and started leaking OIL (see other reviews). I'm not kidding. Lots of oil! I'd love to give this zero stars.

I bought the 40 and 60 watt versions. Compared to the comparable soft white Philips bulb, even though both are soft white (around 2600 to 2700K), the Philips light is more pleasing and comparable to the soft white I'm used to (I know this is a subjective judgment, so take it for what it's worth).Have had the Philips for two months controlled by an analog dimmer with no problems whatsoever. The 40 watt SWITCH started to flicker after only a few days use even though I'm using the same model dimmer. It's OK, though, in a non-dimmable lamp. Because I didn't want to have a future problem with the 60 watt version, which has not flickered, though it is a bit touchy with the dimmer (I have to turn it all of the way on with the dimmer, then back it down to the setting I want, whereas the Philips behaves more linearly like a regular incandescent bulb), I returned all of them.

I bought two for my office but they ended up in the laundry area.Why? Well, I purchased them after being very pleased with the quality and brightness of light provided by two Philips 11W (trumpet shaped) LED bulbs installed there. The problem is that they can't be used in the enclosed fixture I tried them in. I have a decent number of them and they do very well where I have them installed.In go the Switch bulbs. And... they just didn't do it for me. They're dimmer than expected for only losing 60lm rated brightness. They're also more yellow than the already yellow Philips bulbs. Too much so.After trying them in a couple other places, I settled on the laundry area. I keep my tea and basic ingredients there- it's just off the kitchen. So the lights there are frequently flipped on and off and CFLs can't keep up. The Infinia does brilliantly well there, easily outpacing the 1200lm CFLs they replaced due to their instant-on nature. I would still prefer a higher color temp but they'll do fine.Everyone has their preferences and I'm sure many will love these everywhere they currently have 60W or equivalent bulbs. I believe there are better alternatives for open fixtures though, such as the Philips mentioned above.Cree also makes an enclosed fixture capable bulb, although they aren't as sure about it as Switch is. Why didn't I try it?My opinion is that the Infinia will have less color shift and brightness degradation than the Cree due to the liquid cooling. The Infinia also has a higher temperature rated electrolytic capacitor to smooth the 120Hz ripple in the light output, a common failure point of any electronic hardware. Finally, the Infinia has the added expense of thermal potting compound around the driver circuit. This should help transfer heat and further increase reliability.All in all, a decent bulb- but I'll stick with the two and buy others for the rest. The Office fixture will keep the Philips bulbs, but without the glass covering them- their light quality is that much better than the old CFLs.Note that all bulbs compared here are rated 2700k, 81-83CRI.

I've been switching over to LED bulbs in my house.. As I recently rewired and installed Lutron dimmers it's important to me that the new bulbs work with my dimmers. The SWITCH bulb dimmed, but when i switched the dimmer to off, the bulb wouldn't shut off, it stayed at the lowest dimmer setting I should mention other LEDs have worked fine with my dimmers. I decided to use this bulb on a regular switched fixture and noticed a split second delay before it comes to full brightness. The quality of the light is indiscernible from an incandescent to my eye and the shape is nice, I have noticed that you can see the individual LEDs through the glass housing, not an issue for me though.
