First off - I LOVE the bulbs

First off - I LOVE the bulbs. Bright, nice saturation beautiful clear color. HOWEVER...the old app is...limited... and the new one is USELESS. Crashes CONSTANTLY.
 If they offered an SDK other people could write awesome apps for these bulbs, and then they could just focus on quality bulb products. Then I would change to 5 stars. Until then, I'll keep limping along with the old app.

They are great-looking bulbs! Exactly how I want them. HOWEVER, one of the 3 light bulbs I ordered came with one of the light tubes busted (no light!). So I am returning it. I will post a picture of the busted bulb.

Just bought nine of these bulbs for my kitchen at Home Depot, same price as Amazon. The clamshell packaging is death itself to open; I finally resorted to a pair of garden shears. I'll be buying at least 20 more for all high-use areas of my home, and you can bet I'll be buying them from Amazon, with its Frustration-Free Packaging. The bulb itself produces a wonderful, even "daylight." There is a split second delay in turning on -- I noticed it because I was waiting for it; my wife doesn't notice it. Three stars with the clamshell packaging; five with Frustration-Free Packaging.

Overall, I am pretty pleased with these bulbs. Just know what you are getting in to.

Pros: Very bright! I bought these for a 5-light bathroom fixture and there is no shortage of light here. The glass and structure is really solid and I feel will last years.

Cons: The yellow here is pretty intense. Walls are white? Now they have a yellow hue. I really wanted a more natural white look, but when you think about it, Edison incandescent bulbs give off a mellow yellow light. Now go to LEDs and turn up the notch on brightness. I was at first a bit turned off (see what I did there), but after a few weeks I am ok with the yellow hue and I love the exposed Edison light look in the bathroom.

I outfitted our whole house (new construction) with Hyperikon LED lamps throughout, including these "traditional" style bulbs, floods, tons of can lights, and even Edison bulbs.  Overall the color is great and I've been happy.  I am writing this review as 3-star because as of tonight, the bulbs have been installed just under a year and THREE off these E26 style have failed.  The first was outside, but under a large porch and inside a fixture. The second two have been in my bathroom vanity.  I am ordering another 6-pack because I want the color temp to match. Hopefully these 3 failures are a fluke and not a sign of what's to come for the rest of my house.

We love our lights. We had them for a few months now. We had issues with 2 of them, I took the bulb out turned it 180 degrees and issue was resolved. I'm not sure why it's entirely possible it was just the reseat but it worked. The light does take a little getting used to because it's a white light, not the traditional soft white we grew up with. But they are amazing, bright, and they work. They are instant on not warm up to get to full brightness. For kitchen our setup, we have 6 bulbs on a switch, 2 on another switch in the adjacent dining room. We slowly moving all our GX24q bulbs to these.

The bulbs work wonderfully and are very bright. I only wish I went with a warmer color. Compared to the standard lightbulbs they replaced, they feel quite cold.

Love the light these bulb put out. I Just one complaint, a couple of the bulbs have started to blink from dim to bright sporadically/intermittently. The bulbs are not loose and the fixture wiring is tight and secure, not sure why? Maybe just a few defective bulbs?

Love them, look great! Make sure you get a 3-way bulb, NOT a "dimmable bulb". I know that might sound stupid and obvious for some people but I made that mistake like an idiot.

I REALLY like these bulbs, especially in comparison to the standard vintage edison bulbs. My husband and I love the look of the edison bulbs, but we are not fans of the yellow warm barely lit light. I searched for the brightest and whitest bulbs and found these which are almost the same as the bulbs we use in the rest of the house, in terms of brightness and whiteness. We're using it over our dining room table in a large clear glass pendant light. It looks amazing! We would still like a little brighter, but with the type of fixture and all, it just really isn't possible. My husband even jokes that you better not look directly into this bulb because it is so bright. I hope they last a while, but next time I think I'm going to stick with this brand and see if they have the longer shaped bulbs.

The one complaint I do have is that the filaments in one of the bulbs are crooked. It seems kind of silly to worry about, but like I said, it's a completely see through glass fixtures and its really noticeable. I have the other bulb in for now.

Unscrew the bulbs during installation! Also just buy the extra bulbs right away you will break or replace them eventually.

Review ChangeAgain:  Well, the seller tells me that they were having some manufacturing issues and that all the bulbs I purchased that burnt out after a few months were returnable.  They actually sent replacements without me having to return the burnt out bulbs, so my review needs to be revised to far more favorable.  IF they will last as long as they are supposed to, they are great bulbs.  Review change:  Lemon after lemon.  I have purchased quite a few of these bulbs over time, and I am greatly discouraged at how many of them burn out or simply cease functioning after a few months, which is way short of a lifetime guarantee or the many hours they are advertised to last.  They are not returnable after only a few months.  I like the idea of saving money on electricity, but at the rate of having to replace these bulbs as often as I do, I think I am paying way more than if I used a different kind of bulb.  Original review: These are fantastic bulbs!  I hope the price eventually goes down.  You don't have to wait for them to get warmed up before they reach full brightness, it is instantaneous.

These are great.  Just the look I wanted.  The only problem was that one of the bulbs does not work.  I am hoping to get it replaced.

Actually I am very happy with this purchase, but they were shipped in a typical shipping envelope and when I received them, one of the bulbs was broken.  I gave them one less star because of that small glitch.  Therefore, I got one less bulb which I paid for raising the unit cost on the other bulbs.  Regardless, it was still a deal compared to purchasing them in the store.  Have them installed for many months now and they are working fine.

These are wonderful light bulbs - just wish they would work with a "touch" box - (a product that makes an ordinary lamp a "touch lamp"). This may be down the road as the product becomes less expensive and more popular.
