Energetic Lighting ELY09D-EAS-VB-6 A19 - 60 Watt Equivalent Soft White (3000K) 9 Watt Extended Life LED Bulb, 6-Pack - dimmable

Picked these up on a Gold Box Deal of the Day and haven't regretted it! In fact, I will soon order more. The light output from these bulbs is very comparable to a traditional incandescent - warm and bright, but not harsh white. Does a nice job without altering the look of wall and flooring colors. With a LED-compatible dimmer, these can down to almost zero - just a faint glow, almost light starlight. No flickering or buzzing like some other bulbs I've tried. I've used a lot of the big-box store Cree bulbs, but these have surprised me so pleasantly, I may never go back to Cree again!

Most of these bulbs fail before they should. They begin by flickering and then they go dark.

I have been a reluctant convert to LED bulbs because of how much more expensive they are (prices are dropping, but even $5 a bulb is a hundred fold more expensive than an incandescent), reliability and obsolescence concerns (now what to do with my handful of CFLs that I've replaced with LEDs? They still work but are obsolete, AND an environmental nightmare), color precision (it's obvious not every manufacturer understands the Kelvin color scale), weight (I have 3 brands of LED and they all are significantly different weights and some fixtures aren't able to handle this). The list goes on. But, I also like to save money on my electric bill.So when these were a lightning deal, I pulled the trigger. Mainly because they were dimmable (one of my pet peeves about LED and CFL bulbs is the added expense if you want to dim them, while incandescent bulbs will just dim), and they had great reviews. So far those reviews are well deserved. These bulbs are so good at dimming, that I was taken by surprise by other brands when they buzzed, or didn't dim very much. I expected all LEDs to just dim this well. I'm looking at you GE and Phillips*, get your dimming act together!The only reason I took away a star is because these bulbs claim they are 3000k, which should be just a little less yellow than your typical IC bulb (2700k), but they're white, and I'd guess closer to 4000-4500k (no hint of blue like you will get with 5000k, though). But on the bright side (pun intended) they appear, to me, to put out more than the 800 claimed lumens, so this is a pleasant surprise (generous claims vs actual output are another drawback to LEDs), and they don't have the obvious "cut-off" at the base like some other LEDs (Phillips), so when in a lamp the shade isn't brighter on the top with an obvious cut-off half way down.All in all, while I still don't like paying more than a couple ¢ for a bulb, but since now I have to, my experience with these Energetic Lighting bulbs will keep me coming back to this brand for my LED needs. Hopefully they produce similarly quality candelabra bulbs soon, because the few I've tried from competitor brands have not lived up to my expectations (why bother calling a bulb dimmable when it will only dim, at best, down 25% before either cutting out completely (GE), or flickering and buzzing like crazy (Phillips)?*the Phillips bulbs really are junk (I got mine from BJs), avoid them if you can.

Not that light than I expected but buyable considering price.

Unfortunately, these bulbs DO NOT DIM! The color & brightness are very good otherwise.I did purchase the "dimmable" version as stated on the packaging & stamped directly on the bulb. I purchased & installed a dimmer specifically for LED lighting. I tried the bulbs in another location with a 2nd switch. After all that, they do not dim.Otherwise, they are good. For myself, every single last one was returned.

So... it's a lightbulb, that works with dimmers, so not ground-breaking technology by any means.That being said, I replaced the 60W bulbs around the house with these lights... Fantastic. Bright, no defects that I can see in the packaging/the bulbs themselves.800 lumens is good enough for me, since we aren't trying to emulate the sun indoors,One comment I would mention to potential buyers of this LED bulb:They are heavier than incandescent bulbs. This is not much of a problem normally, but physics can be irritating with tall lamps.and small children pushing said lamp over, the heavier the bulb, the louder/angrier/harder that lamp smashes into walls and floors etc.

Not what I expected. The light is really yellow :(

Got these during a "Daily Deal". They work just as described and provide a nice even light. Have three in a bathroom vanity and light and it gives off a nice tone, not too warm and not too harsh. Same thing with a bedside light, works great for reading and it's dimmable.
