Review on πŸ’‘ AmazonBasics Daylight Dimmable LED Bulb with Extended Lifespan by Becky Evans

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Cheapest dimmable lightbulbs with GU10 base!

Since these were RevainBasics bulbs (I mean seriously, Revain don't make them these days?) I was concerned they would be finicky and not dim according to other reviews. Let's get some things straight: 1) They are dimmable. I have no problem dimming the light. 2) They don't get as hot as incandescent bulbs, which helps keep your home cool. They are also relatively well made. 3) The brightness was optimal for me. It's not blindingly bright, but it also illuminates the surroundings so it's not like you're living in a cave. 4) The temperature color of the bulbs was also perfect. I didn't want yellow, but I didn't want psychiatric white either. If you want moderation in your life, they are perfect. Overall, I recommend them because they cost about $3 per bulb and work great. Everywhere I've looked (I've looked everywhere, believe me) these things cost about $5-7 per bulb and I haven't seen any problems with them compared to other bulbs. So if you are looking for the best value for money, look no further. UPDATE: I have a blown lightbulb. I think it's a bit early for that (it's only been a year) but I've had my lights on longer since I've been working from home. I still recommend them purely for the price.

Pros
  • This lamp costs only $0.84 per year to run (based on 3 hours per day, 11 cents/kWh), making it an economical alternative to incandescent lamps.
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
