Bright but dimmable chandelier bulbs

I have a 5 light dimmer chandelier in my dining room. I used to use 40 watt incandescent bulbs (the highest wattage of any molded bulb) but I wasn't happy with the bright illumination. I ordered these LED bulbs because they are 60 watt equivalent and dimmable; The long lifespan and energy savings of LED bulbs are a bonus. These LED bulbs are noticeably brighter at full brightness. The threaded portion of the LED lamp base is slightly longer than the threaded portion of the incandescent lamp base; LED bulbs protrude further from the light sockets than incandescent bulbs. But there are no installation problems, no risk of electric shock and the extension of the lamp base is visually unobjectionable. After installing the LED bulbs, I tested the chandelier in the full range of the dimmer. One of the five LED chandeliers had a different dimming response than the other four lights. I replaced the sixth LED bulb with another LED bulb and used the other LED bulb in a non-dimmable fixture. However, this uneven dimmer response in the six lamp IMO sample deserves a minus one star.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of fashion
