Feit 4.8 Watt = 40 Watts LED Candelabra Light Bulbs 3-Pack 3000K

These work great! I installed 10 of these in a chandelier and at full brightness they are approximately the brightness of the sun while only using 48W! The dimming feature works great without any noticeable flicker or buzzing. These emit a pure white light, without any noticeable blue hues like some other LEDs. Installed the in another chandelier that is not dimmable and decided to only install 5 of them because they are so bright. The build quality seems superb, and the packaging item was well packaged. I ordered 7 of these 3-packs and all 21 bulbs worked perfectly. After reading the mixed results around here, perhaps others have faulty fixtures? Incandescents do not really care about bad power and will work with just about anything. Once you throw a circuit board in the mix (like the ones driving these LEDs), you may see issues if your fixture/power isn't up to snuff. If you use your chandelier or any other light fixture with this bulb type, there has never been a better time to buy these with power prices surging up all over the place.

My wife leaves the lights on in the dining room all the time, which was driving me crazy. I figured, to salvage this marriage, I'd pony up for some energy efficient bulbs and tell her to leave em on till the end of time. At the store, there were no CFLs for candelabras. I'm not a fan of CFLs anyway - they take forever to brighten, don't last nearly as long as advertised, and mercury. So this was my first foray into the world of LED bulbs for home lighting. The prices are so high this FEIT set of 3 seemed to be the best buy. All 3 bulbs are working, so I had no issues with a dead bulb. My wife and I assumed we wouldn't like the warmth of the bulbs but we are pleasantly surprised. It's no glowing tungsten, but it's really not that bad. So those two things along with a reasonable price have motivated me to give this 5 stars and perhaps leave potential buyers at ease. At ~6 a bulb, given the amount of usage it will receive, I expect each bulb to pay for itself in energy costs after about 1 year. Another reason I wanted these or CFLs was how much heat the 60w bulbs were creating inside the chandelier. Somewhat surprising to me is how hot the white base of these LEDs gets. You don't want to touch it for too long. However the bulb is cool to the touch. If I had a current meter I'd check to see how much energy these are actually using. Seems like too much heat is being dissipated for these to only draw a few watts. At any rate - I'm going to order 3 more to finish off my chandelier. Then it's going to be blinding in here. The way my wife has to have it - even at midday. Update (July 2014) - after a few months one of the bulbs (I now have a full 6 populating the chandelier) would turn on and off (toggling somewhat randomly but in no shorter than 5 minute intervals). As of last week it is dead. So one out of the six did not live up to its billing. If another goes out I may have to downgrade to 4 stars. Overall, still satisfied with the quality given the price. Update (October 2015) - So it's more than a year later. The 5 of 6 that were working in July 2014 (one went out pretty early on) are still working. They've gotten a lot of use. If we are awake, our dining room chandelier is most-likely on. It was a good purchase at ~$6/bulb I think I'm going to rig up something and test the current draw. The amount of heating coming off the base just seems to indicate it could be higher than advertised.

I bought these to replace the incandescent lights over my bathroom sink. They definitely aren't as bright as the 40w lights that I had in there before. The price was cheap for a three pack, since my local Home Depot was all out of stock on the smaller LED bulb sizes. After only a few days, one of the three lights is starting to flicker a bit. Not sure if it is going to last much longer. I have started looking for replacements already that are higher quality and a little brighter, maybe 530 lumens compared to the 300 that these put out. I'm not really sure if it is 300 lumens - maybe just because the light isn't directed too well it doesn't seem as bright. These bulbs are cheap, but I feel that you get what you pay for. They are instant on and use less energy than CFL or incandescent bulbs. This particular brand and bulbs aren't working out for me though, with one starting to fail after only a few days of use. Might just be a bad bulb or so, but I'm going to look for another brand (maybe Cree?) that makes this size, with higher output. Your mileage may vary. Update: Ended up replacing with these bulbs - (3-PACK) 6-Watt LED Chandelier Bulb, 60-Watt replacement, 580 Lumens, E12 Candelabra Base, 5000K Natural Daylight White, UL Listed . The color is more daylight than the Feit bulbs and the bulbs are a lot brighter. No flickering yet.

Don't last as advertised! Purchased these for coach lights for my garage. I'm one to embrace new technology and I thought these would be perfect to the old incandescent lights that I was using. The old lights would usually burn out in about three to six months I am not complaining about the light output or color of these lights as others have. They did not flicker and light output was very good. I gave these a try and was very diligent about writing the dates that I put them in and the date that I found them burned out.. Giving theses lights every benefit of the doubt. I only wrote down the date that I noticed they were burned out and that the lights are a dusk to dawn operation average 12 hours a day. I have now replaced 5 of these light. The average time for them was 8.2 months or about 3000 hours. This is a far cry from the 25,000 hours they claim. I was really expecting these to last 5 years. I am trying a different brand now. If these don't work I will return to the old incandescent lights. Even factoring in the energy saving these lights are not worth 4 times the upfront cost and only lasting slightly longer than the old technology.
