Review on 6 Pack πŸ”† of Non-Dimmable Lifetime AmazonBasics Equivalents by Jacob Seymour

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Avoid 100W (5000K) equivalent daylight if you don't like the green tint.

Incandescent (100W equivalent, daylight, non-dimmable, 10,000 hour lifespan, A19) bulbs have many positive qualities:+ Output equivalent to 100W (15W, 1500 lumens).+ A19 'normal' bulb size (Many 100W equivalents are larger than A21). + Usable/safe in enclosed luminaires (according to the manufacturer's answer in the "Customer Questions and Answers" section). + In my garage door opener they don't seem to add interference reducing range. It's currently difficult to find LED bulbs in the 1500 lumen range in A19 size that are safe for indoor use, so this is a huge win. But there are some disadvantages: clearly marked as such, but that would make them more versatile e)- 80+ CRI (again according to the manufacturer in the Customer Questions and Answers section); 90+ would be nice. And the biggest shortcoming for me today: - My eyes have a noticeable green cast. This may be the reason for some of the negative reviews calling the 100W Daylight version "tough". From what I understand this is common with many currently available 40005000K LEDs, especially when running at lower currents to keep them cool and efficient. Because I was planning to use them for the garage (supplemented with some nice 4000K LEDs) and for the street. (hidden) lighting, for me it is not critical. However, I used some of them for interior lighting to see how they work. I'm definitely not for that use. 1500 lumens/A19/safe in enclosed fixtures might bring me back for indoor lighting though, but I'd definitely go for the Soft White (2700K) version instead.

Pros
  • Decent performance
