Ideal for outdoor lighting

Has been working for 8 or 9 years in a street lamp with a sensor, turns on at dusk, turns off at dawn. I've been expecting them to burn out for a long time. wow !

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Other interesting options are available.

Illuminated 7 years 24 hours a day 7 days a week

I use these lights as night lights. I don't like a dark room or coming home in a completely dark house, so I leave some lights on all the time. When I put in the last few bulbs, I noticed that they lasted as long as the manufacturer promised. I am impressed. Discount 7 years for a small light bulb that burns 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! Not bad. I would say I got my money's worth.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions

Strobe on my portico!

I have two sconces on my porch. I put in a smart lightbulb and it looks amazing. I put a second bulb in another wall light and they both start blinking. And I'm not talking soft candlelight, but full disco lighting. Friends with some electronics know-how say they've never seen anything like it before, and no one seems to know why. Just be careful if you plan on using them on a porch with multiple lights.

Pros
  • Ease of Use
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide
