I am very happy with these bulbs. They added the perfect design flair to the new light fixture I installed on our porch. The color temperature is perfect - very warm, with a retro feel. Brightness is also perfect, maybe a little less than the 40W equivalent, but pretty close and perfect for my application. I love the design and the amber finish on the bulbs makes them look great when not on. Very competitive value for 4 sets for $15 especially as they are dimmable. Highly recommended.
