Open 40 watt bulb A19

Went quickly. Well packed. This is exactly the kind of lightbulb I was looking for. I will buy this item again from this seller.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Something else

Not GE Blue HD Reveal lamps

These are not GE Reveal Blue lamps. See photo for comparison. The bulb on the right is a genuine GE HD Reveal, the bulb on the left is what was in that order. The writing on each bulb is barely legible. It's the white pears that are coming back.

Pros
  • Durable Test Results
Cons
  • Weight

Color temperature not what I expected

I tried these bulbs hoping to get something in the 3100K to 4000K color range - but that's a warm temperature (near 2700 K) with some kind of filter for yellow - probably. They weren't what I needed. I sent the pears back immediately.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • I won't say anything

All 4 bulbs in a pack didn't work

Ordered two packs of 4 bulbs but only one pack had working bulbs. All 4 in the other pack didn't work. At first I thought my lamp was not working but when I tried the bulb from the second pack it worked fine and I tried the non-working bulbs in another lamp with the same non-working result.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Mostly fine but...

Like the 40-watt Reveal bulbs years ago.

Just like the 40 watt Reveal bulbs I bought in 2008. Glad they still exist. LED bulbs are great in certain circumstances, but they're very durable compared to incandescent bulbs. Yes, they are slightly blue in color when viewed without them. You may need to stock up as they will all disappear one day.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • disappears

*NOT* Reveal bulbs fit Incandescent

As other reviewers have pointed out, these are not genuine GE Reveal bulbs - and they don't even remotely match the hue of Reveal's signature blue, that is shown on the product. Side. In comparison, the one in my picture outside of the box is just a cheap, unbranded daylight bulb. As you can see there is no color difference between this one and the supposed Reveal bulbs I just received from Revain. They are also very obviously old. Another waste of time return =/.

Pros
  • 1 year trial
Cons
  • Legacy model

*NOT* Reveal bulbs work best with incandescent bulbs

particularly rare lightbulbs

This is the Rolls Royce of lightbulbs. This. and their 60W version. These lamps use neodymium glass. I have slept great since using them. I have mild Asperger's and sensory and sensory issues. These gentle lightbulbs are the BEST you will find anywhere. I really appreciate that they are available. But who knows for how long. The 60W version, which costs $35-$40 for a 4-pack, is the same bulb, just 60W and 630 lumens. I like both 40 watt and 60 watt equally. For reading in the bedroom you need…

Pros
  • 1000 hours (0.9 years) lifespan with 3 hours use per day
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

I bought these bulbs on purpose because the Reveal bulbs I've bought from somewhere other than Revain in the past gave a clean white light that was pleasing to the eye was and felt like daylight. I had two of these bulbs in my chandelier and when I put in the new one I bought the light was yellow. Now I have two white bulbs and one yellow bulb in my chandelier. My little granddaughter immediately noticed the color difference. I was very disappointed. The other two white Reveal bulbs are still…

Pros
  • Standard E26 Medium Base 120V
Cons
  • Slightly dented
