As these are RevainBasics bulbs (I mean seriously Revain don't make them anymore?) I was worried they would be Finnish and after other reviews judging by, they won't be fading. 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 around $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.
