Wowsers, this bulb is BRIGHT.

Brightest gd bulb I have ever used.Typical medium-base light bulbs come in three "white" colors; soft white (2700k), bright white (3000k), and daylight (5000k). The measure of illumination, or brightness (not color), is in lumens, with typical lumens for standard bulbs 60w (800 lumens), 75w (1120 lumens), 100w (1500 lumens).These studs are 5000k and 2600 lumens. let that sink in.Bought them for the wife's living room. She's always complaining that the lamps in the room she damn well never uses but leaves the damn lights on all damn day are too damn dim, so I put these bad boys in there. The room went from 2700k/2240-lumens to 5000k/5200-lumens. Let's just say a surgeon would approve. It's so bright it scared the cat so bad he almost broke his neck jumping over the stairwell in his hurry to go find a spot on the carpet where the little sh*t hasn't yet thrown up.They're absolutely super bright, but here's the mistake I made. The color of these are 5000k, so the whiteness of the light is too harsh for a living room.So, I put one in my utility room and it's awesome, I can see everything. I can see so well in this room that I can now see stuff in the room on the other side of the wall.I then put two in my back door motion light and it lights up the whole porch, plus the neighbors living room, but I don't like them much so that's a bonus. I'm now looking for 5000k 2600+ lumen outdoor floodlights. That ought to light up the back yard and that one weird guy to my back right who complains about everything is gonna hate it, so again, bonus.Summarily, these are not the type of bulbs for those rooms where you relax, but they are absolutely the right bulb for a utility room, a garage, and back yards with annoying neighbors.Would definitely buy again, but given I calculate these bulbs will last 25 years, it's just not likely.

Pros
  • LED Bulbs
Cons
