Review on πŸ’‘ Bulbrite 773450 LED15BR40: The Perfect Incandescent Equivalent LED Bulb Solution by Ronald Reese

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Bright yet warm, dimmable bulbs with a long service life. Energy Star and UL rated

I love these bulbs. We have 4 ceiling jars that came with the house when we bought it. I always hated them because they were painted black on the inside and the bulbs were smaller so the black really stood out. I also had to turn on the floor lamp when trying to read. These lights are very bright and easy for me to read. However, if you don't have a dimmer or plan to install one, they may be too bright to use in a living room or family room. But with a dimmer they are just perfect. They fill the glasses and look a lot better. They give off a bright but warm light and have no glare. Of course I can't say anything about the durability. I hope that they will last for many years as promised, because the price is quite high, but comparable to similar lamps in hardware stores. I wouldn't recommend them for track lighting as they are so big. They would be great in the garage and I plan on getting a kit for them. Since they're almost impossible to get hold of, it would be great if they actually lasted 20+ years. Then the price would be negligible. Update November 29th: Since my kitchen and living room are right next to each other, it was easy to see how much brighter these Bulbrites are despite being the same wattage. I decided to swap because I need a bright light in the kitchen and I love my bright new kitchen so much (oh no, I hadn't noticed those stains on the fridge before!). In any case, I will take another set after the holidays (they are expensive) because of the beautiful look and brightness. I would definitely NOT recommend placing them in any room other than the kitchen or laundry room unless you have or already have a dimmer installed. Without these, it's really too bright for the living room.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • dim
