Better than I was expecting!

This review is for "E17 LED Bulbs - Microwave Oven Appliance Light 50W Halogen Bulb Equivalent Warm White Pack of 2 (Warm White 3000k)". I installed these bulbs in a combo microwave range hood unit, with a high-low brightness button (no "nightlight" setting like others have mentioned). I've used other LED bulbs in fixtures with hi/lo dimmers, and they have flickered with a seizure-inducing strobe when dimmed . These do flicker ever so slightly on the dim setting, but it's really visible only out of the corner of your eye, not when looking directly at the light. The "color temperature" on these is on the "cool" side of "warm white" - more white than yellow - and maybe that's the difference between 2700K and 3000K. But the light is not stark or artificial looking like the cool white bulbs, and after a day of use, I don't even notice the extra whiteness anymore. At "50W equivalent", they're a bit brighter than the 40W incandescents they're replacing. and for half the price of the comparable LEDs at the big box stores. By the way, there are no issues with fit at all - they're smaller than the incandescent bulbs they're replacing, in all dimensions. When I ordered these bulbs, I was pretty much expecting to have to return them, but they are an improvement over the incandescents for sure, and I don't have any complaints.

Pros
  • Very bright
Cons
  • May not be as widely available as other types of bulbs
