Review on πŸ”† The SEO-friendly version: Dimmable T45 Vintage Edison Bulb – Spiral Cage Filament – 25 Watt – 65 Lumen – Pack of 8 by Terry Basri

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great bulbs, poor customer service

First, good. These bulbs look great and are the perfect wattage for my application, an 8 bulb ceiling light in my living room. I had a really hard time finding another set of 25w Edison bulbs which came in a set of 8 and I really like their somewhat unique shape. Most of the other bulbs I looked at came in packs of 6, which would require me to buy two sets and some extras that I don't need (Edison bulbs tend to last a long time as their filaments are a bit thicker are). than modern lightbulbs, but read on because it might not have mattered). Unlike some other Edison bulbs I've ordered over the years, these arrived nice and clean with virtually no scratches. They provide a great warm light that fills the room but isn't too bright to disturb the TV etc. I also put this light on a dimmer (which of course works great with these incandescent bulbs) and the color temperature gets very warm and creates a nice cozy atmosphere when the brightness is reduced. In short, I love these lamps and they are perfect for my application. HOWEVER The first shipment arrived with a dead bulb. Considering my device required all 8, it was pretty frustrating. I immediately contacted the customer support email address listed in the package (the gmail account is a red flag) and was told I would receive two free replacement bulbs within 8-10 business days. A month has passed, there are no lamps. I contacted support twice more and got no response. Annoyed by a blown bulb in my light fixture I swallowed the bullet and ordered 8 more packs and now I have 7 extra bulbs. A bit annoying but I'm sure I'll find some use for them. At $25 for 8, that's a lot compared to branded Edison bulbs at your local hardware store. However, if you absolutely need all 8 on day one, consider other options.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
