Review on πŸ’‘ Bioluz LED Transparent Edison Style Dimmable Filament Bulb by Patrick Freddie

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Beautiful, but an unfortunate deal-killer for me.

These 40W equivalents do not appear to be compatible with the Lutron DVCL-153P-WH dimmer in my configuration. I bought one of the six packs to try in our master bathroom where we have two 4-lights. I only filled one of them and they dim beautifully, no noticeable hum like Ecosmart bulbs and dim fully to a barely noticeable glow. Loved the look of our fixture down where you can see the bulb. After that I bought two more 6 packs to complete this bathroom as well as a second bathroom. Well here's the deal killer. When I use these bulbs in both 4 bulb fixtures they will blink once when the light is on. As long as an additional dimmable light source, e.g. B. an Ecosmart or GE LED lamp is used, this behavior does not occur. This happened in both bathrooms which is unacceptable. I'm returning two of the three 6 packs, keeping one as I really like it and can use it on a few other spots that won't fade. They may work with other dimmers as others have noted and I'm guessing it's a dimmer as when you first turn it on it might just be an 8 light load on a Lutron dimmer but LED dimmers aren't cheap and I do don't want to experiment with buying/returning and swapping out dimmers at this point just to find one that works and I've found that compatibility lists are usually incomplete and out of date. If anyone has the same setup, 8 of these 40w equivalent bulbs on a single dimmer please let me know which dimmer fits this one asap!
