Everyone seems to love this bulb but does it give off an orangy light, especially when dimmed, or is it just a better white light than other LEDs? Ty!

when it' is off it is a yellow bulb, When it is is on it is a perfectly hued soft white bulb. The yellow filter just is compensating for the excessively blue nature of typical LEDs. Most cheaper bulbs are too blue.

Not orange. When it is powered on, the light is a nice warm white. Like an old-style frosted incandescent. That's one of the reasons it is so popular. The other being efficiency, brightness, and hopefully long life due to the 3 heat sinks (the 3 grooves). Yes, I do like this bulb.

To my eye it looks just like the light from an incandescent bulb. I can't speak to how it looks if it's dimmed, because the table lamp I have it in does not have a dimmer.

This bulb does dim for me on my 3-way dimmer. The bright is much brighter than a standard 60W candelabra bulb.

Its cool white so very bright pure white. warm white would be close to a regular bulb and better imo. Picture shows cool. Just select the one you want.

Havw not had any problems wih the bulb. I have this bulb in a lamp that is on 12 hours over night, every night for the past 3 weeks. The light is whiter and brigher than the CFL bulb. The bulb does heat up during use. After a month or so, I will probably install more in ceiling lights and outdoor porches.

Its a warm neutral light but very very bright. Very white. Not bluish if that is your concern which is always with me nd led bulbs. Comparable to an incandescent at 100w

We just use typical incandescent chandelier size bulbs (they are about 3 inches long and the glass swirls around slightly. There really isn't a "dimming" feature, the touch light just lights up in steps (three) from not much light up to full watt strength. It's a toggle mechanism so if you are at the strongest level of light, the next touch turns the light off and you then start over at the bottom by touching the metal. [Apologies if this is way more info than you needed or if you already knew all this -- if it's not working properly, perhaps you just got a defective light.]

The min/max wattage comment (by Scott) is spot on. My fixture had 3 dimmable LEDs and I had flickering. I swapped out one LED bulb for an incandescent to get above the min wattage. All flickering is gone. dimming works as expected.

I had the same issues when I bought my lights... It's just a combination of colors it seems, I still love em'. If you want a true white one, you might have to fork out for dedicated light.

It looks ok. I was worried about that too but figured that if it looked weird, I would just use incandescent bulbs. It really looks okay. It takes a little while to get used to seeing the curly bulbs, period. The bulbs don't stick out beyond the globe. The soft white type of bulb makes the globe look kind of yellow. I like them much better with the bright light type of bulb.

I am not able to upload an image unfortunately. I do though have one of these bulbs on a planted better system on my office desk. It is a very crisp yet cool white color. The blue tint is not very visible or overpowering and makes the white light appear softer while still showing a crisp white rather than a blue or yellow tinge. You may be able to view my particular system on our company (That Fish Place - That Pet Place) facebook page. I hope this information helps you.

Hi, I use the bulb in a lamp with a shade next to the bed for reading. The light does not seem focused in a particular direction -- but widely diffused -- possible influenced by the shade. Nevertheless, combining it with a dimmer switch made it the right ecological choice -- needed the brightness to allow these sixty year old eyes to read well in the evenings .... and dimmed ... as an ambient light when not reading. Hope this helps -- I do like the bulb -- also, it doesn't seem to run as 'hot' as traditional lightbulbs.

Tammy, I'm afraid my bulb was defective when received and had to be returned. I believe some others have described some of the things which you are now seeing. Check all of the reviews. Good luck.

Hello, I have a non ELV dimmer. The bulbs buzz very loud so I am returning them. They do however produce a nice warm, bright light. The product seems to be very high quality. I believe the issue is with my light switch and/or fixture. I hoped these were a perfect swap-out for incandescents on a 5-bulb light fixture. The buz was just plain too loud. Not worth the money / long term savings ... especially at the premium price.

I installed this using a LED lightbulb. It does dim but when you press the dimmer switch to turn off, it doesn't turn off completely. These same light bulbs are advertised as dimmable and work well with other dimmers (some specifically for LED light bulbs). However, this dimmer seems not to be completely compatible.

I bought it for LED bulbs in the hall. In one fixture I had 60W brightness, in the other 40W. It dimmed both, but the one fixture dimmed all the way to out while the other one was still on a bit, but it worked fine for me. The LED light color did not change to more yellow that I could see as it dimmed. There was no buzzing or any issues.

The bulbs I received are not as bright as a 7 watt white bulb. You cannot see the filament. It's almost like they are painted red on the inside. I use it as a night light in my bathroom. It gives just enough light that I don't run into anything. Hope that helps.
