Review on Enhanced CMYK Dimmable Squirrel Incandescent Equivalent: The Ultimate Lighting Solution by Amy Bernabe

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The light turns on slowly and 2 out of 6 flickers badly

So this is the second time I've ordered these bulbs. I needed 3 but decided to buy 6 to use elsewhere. I had one left over in the same pack from CMYK over a year ago. The new lightbulbs were immediately put to use in the kitchen above my island. As soon as I turned them on, they slowly lit up. Faster than CFL but not typical of LED lighting. I didn't think anything of it. They are on the switch in the kitchen and it is NOT a dimmer. Just a regular decor switch. Anyway, about a week later one of the lights started flickering. And I figured a bad lightbulb would probably be acceptable, so I went to my stash of lightbulbs and figured why not try last year's lightbulb because I don't remember it taking time to light up . Mind you, it's been in a different house since I moved in. Well, the old NEW bulb lights up immediately and the other two bulbs light up with about a second delay. I put the other two of the six outside and one of them also started flickering. I disabled this one and they seem fine but they take a long time to light up. So I just tried two flashing bulbs on a regular bulb with no switch to see if that was the problem and unfortunately it wasn't. Needless to say, I just tossed two lightbulbs in the bin. So be careful, some may flicker and all will likely light up with a delay. It's sad because the bundle I bought a year ago works perfectly. I can't say I recommend this product.
