Description of AmazonBasics Dimmable Candelabra with Extended Lifespan

With a life of 15,000 hours, the bulb will last over 13 years (based on 3 hours of use each day). Provides 500 lumens of light immediately, with no waiting time to warm up to full brightness. With a correlated color temperature of 2700 Kelvin, the bulb provides a soft white light, creating a comfortable atmosphere for any room. This LED light bulb uses only 4.5 watts of energy, saving up to $91.58 over the life of the bulb vs. its incandescent equivalent (based on 3 hours/day, 11 cents/kWh, may vary depending on rates and use). This bulb costs only $0.54 per year to operate (based on 3 hours/day, 11 cents/kWh) making it an economical alternative to incandescent bulbs. Not eligible for shipments to California.

Very good LED bulbs: Bulbs

These are next generation bulbs with a specially designed LED that looks like a normal incandescent bulb. Unlike other LED light bulbs which are made of plastic and the LEDs face towards the top of the bulb, they are made of glass and are brighter as they don't contain plastic to filter out some of the light. I use them outdoors in a fixture and was concerned that other plastic bulbs might suffer from UV damage. I don't have those concerns with these glass bulbs. I just installed it yesterday…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • I'll write later

Great replacement for LED bulbs but beware of shipping issues

Basically they were used outside to light up a wagon in my house. When replacing, the bulb detached from the base inside the lamp, which required careful removal (remember the game "Operation"). The inner packaging was not well made, the lightbulbs in the box banged against each other and Revain included a heavy bottle of carpet cleaner that could ruin everything. They are very bright (like a HS football stadium at night) and double the lighting area compared to the original COSTCO LED FEIT…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

Simple candelabra light bulb

This is a simple candelabra light bulb. They generate the typical light brightness. I can't comment on the durability yet as I had it not long ago but I can comment on other specs. These lamps produce a noticeable flicker. I've installed them in ceiling fans and can see the fan blades shimmering across the ceiling when the fan and lights are on. The flicker is usually imperceptible unless there are fast-moving objects or when you are not looking around the room quickly, but is otherwise…

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • old
