Review on 🌞 Brighten Up Your Space with Sunlite G16 LED E26 27K: A Superior Lighting Solution by Kevin Johnson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good bulbs, but their lifespan is unreliable.

I bought these bulbs to replace the bulbs above our kitchen table. They fit well in terms of brightness and light temperature. My only initial complaint was that there was very little difference in brightness when dimmed before going out (I installed the recommended dimmer with new bulbs). The lack of range wasn't ideal, but I was fine with that because of the power savings. I installed the bulbs on 02/15/19 and replaced one of them on 12/07/20. At some point (recently) another of the original bulbs blew out. This is not surprising as we lost our first 8 or 9 months. Both were disappointing but the big disappointment was the loss of our first sub last December. LEDs are believed to be long lasting. My light bulbs have lasted over 10 years. I expected these LEDs to last about the same, even half that lifespan would be better than what I'm seeing. Now I have to buy more of these bulbs to match the remaining 3 bulbs or choose another brand hoping to get the lifespan that LED actions imply. If anyone has a recommendation for a similarly long-lasting lamp, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks very much!

Pros
  • UPGRADE TO LED. These 7W dimmable 7W Globe Globe LED bulbs are an energy efficient replacement for 60W incandescent bulbs. They have a medium base (E26) and stay cool even when lit. They turn on instantly at full 500 lumen brightness
Cons
  • Some bugs
