Review on Dimmable G16 5 Candelabra Edison 2700K by Michael Woods

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great replacement for dressing table lamps

We have two 6 bulb lamps above the long mirror above the double sink and the bulbs often burn out. This is a G16.5 E12 clear glass style that looks very nice but is quite hot and consumes a lot of power. I couldn't find the originals, so I replaced them with clear 60W, 2800 temp, 560 lumen bulbs that were slightly brighter than the originals. I was looking to replace it with a similar LED bulb and this one is perfect, I've just ordered another pack of 6. They're rated at 2700, which is a nice warm glow, and their 400 lumen rating is spot on. They feel slightly warm but not hot like the ones that replace. The good thing about them is the slight curvature of the LED strings (see picture). This makes them look more like natural light bulbs than clumsy futuristic LEDs. If you can't tell the difference between LED and original. When you're off and looking at your head, the LED strings don't really stand out. Probably great for any fixture where you need warm clear glass light. They do a cool white 5000 temp which some might like. I hooked them up to a Lutron Diva dimmer today and they work perfectly.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of fashion
