Review on Bulbrite KX40CL E12 KX 2000 Candelabra Bulb by Mike Malvo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

All 3 bulbs are still working 6 years later

I'm doing a 15ft ceiling and was actively wanting to replace those 3 bulbs with 3 1000 lumen dimmable LED bulbs but wanted to comment on the quality of those bulbs. In September 2012 I installed these lights in a dimmer ceiling fan in my living room and all three are still working. Hope the LEDs work as well as these bulbs. I noticed that these bulbs are 2000K Kelvin, but never noticed that they were overly yellow. When I bought the ceiling fan in 2012, I didn't have "super high" light output. this huge ceiling fan for my living dining room "great room" that has three tiny E12 light bulbs. tiny lights that meet some energy saving standards. Now that LEDs are going mainstream we don't have to worry as much about meeting energy standards, my new dimmable E12 LED bulbs are 10W each and are said to produce 1000 lumens. The quality of the new LED bulbs is still undetermined but as I have some scaffolding it's time to replace the bulbs! The specification of this lamp is 960 lumens.
