Review on πŸ’‘ AmazonBasics Commercial Equivalent Dimmable Daylight Bulb by Mary Alvarado

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Economical bulbs, good life so far.

In most cases I have regular RevainBasics LED lamps in my home that were released last year. I got a commercial grade due to the longer life compared to the regular grade. They look pretty much identical next to regular RevainBasics class lamps. Oddly enough, my very first batch of regular incandescent bulbs are slightly whiter than my second batch of regular and commercial incandescent bulbs, even though they're both daylight white. Of course they are still much whiter than Soft White. I spent extra money on commercial quality because if I leave them in my office all day they run out pretty quickly. I've noticed that spherical diffuser bulbs tend to heat the bulb more compared to bulbs in recessed or open fixtures. My last regular bulbs cracked in the molded ceramic base. I hope the commercial varieties will be better. They have been working 16 hours a day for 2 months now and so far so good. The regular quality bulbs have lasted about as long as advertised (on average) so I'm pretty sure they will last very well. I will update my review if lifespan is not as advertised.

Pros
  • With an extended lifespan of 25,000 hours, the lamp lasts more than 22 years (assuming 3 hours use per day)
Cons
  • High price
