Review on Dimmable Standard Enclosed Bulb by Luxrite - The Equivalent Solution by Glen Sprout

Revainrating 5 out of 5

good light. Good dimming performance.

Bought a set of six 3000K models. Decent light. I installed one in the same room where two other FEIT 2700K lamps are installed and controlled by the same dimmer. The FEIT bulb will burn out after about two years (typical of FEIT bulbs). The CRI for this lamp is 80. I had to ask the seller as they didn't list the CRI in the product description. Really annoying considering they took the time to post photos of the mother and son doing homework etc etc. At least they got back to me quickly. The dimming characteristics are different than FEIT incandescent lamps. I was able to set the dimmer so the LUXRITE lamp dimmed to the same level as the FEIT lamps. The seller lists the dimmers that work with this lamp. I have a dimmer that isn't listed but it has worked for me in other setups so I took a chance and bought this one. Dimmer model Eaton TAL06P-C2-KL purchased from Lowe's. I have several of these switches. The dimmer switch has dials for "Low Limit Setting" and "Quick Start Setting". I adjusted the lower limit setting to match this lamp to the low light characteristics of FEIT lamps. No buzz. The 3000K light temperature is good - not the oily yellow of 2700K incandescent bulbs. 3000k tubes are hard to find. Everyone has 2700K and 5000K tubes which are too extreme in my opinion. Happy with the one lamp I've used so far. I would buy them again. 5 Stars.
