Review on πŸ’‘ Enhance Efficiency with Electric Retrofit Equivalent LEDR56 927CA LED Bulb by Jim Bodnarchek

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Bright efficient light, works very well with a dimmer but is difficult to maintain.

I have 6 inch can lights and they were pretty easy to install. It is very quick to install, they don't provide enough strength to hold it up. If you are a perfectionist this will bother you as there may be a small gap between the ceiling and the paneling of the fixture which is very difficult to close Also, if there are holes or slots in the glass mount, the springs can get stuck in there, making matters worse. However, this pales in comparison to simply replacing the mount and looks a lot better than just replacing an incandescent bulb with an LED. From a functional point of view, however, these headlights are ideal. They black out well and put out good lumens per watt. I liked them so much that I have used Feit bulbs elsewhere in the house (I would give the bulbs themselves 5 stars). I will say that I compared next to "normal" CRI light and didn't notice much of a difference than with the higher CRI advertised. To test, I held several different colored book covers under the light.

Pros
  • UL, CEC Title 24 certified and Energy Star qualified. We are at the forefront of lighting innovation
Cons
  • Have my doubts
