Finally a PAR30 LED Short Neck bulb that is very close to the very HOT Halogen's bulbs that I replaced.  They dim well and don't throw any heat.

My search for a bit brighter... more lumen, 3000K LED 100 watt equivalent bulb found these.

The pros:
+ Reasonably priced at $22.80 for a 6 pack, with free Amazon shipping.
+ Pretty good customer product reviews.
+ Advertised - instant on.  This LED bulb lights instantly, no noticeable flicker or delay.
+ Advertised - 3000K (Soft White Glow).
+ Advertised - 1200 lumen.
+ Advertised - 340 Omnidirectional light.
+ Advertised - Color Rendering Index (CRI) = 84.
+ Advertised - 14 watts = 100 watt incandescent equivalent.
+ Advertised - standard A21 shape with medium screw base (E26).  Note that this bulb is a bit longer... taller than the standard A19 bulb.  I suggest verifying it will fit in your fixture.
+ Advertised - UL listed
+ Advertised - UV & mercury free.
+ Advertised - life rating of 25,000 hours, or 21 years with 3 hrs/day of use.
+ Advertised - five-year unlimited warranty.
+ Advertised - Origin, USA.  Nowhere on the package or bulb does it spell out where this is made?

The cons:
- Advertised - not dimmable.  Cannot be used on a dimmer circuit. Not needed for our application.
- Printed on the bulb - not to be installed in a fully enclosed fixture.  I installed two of these in enclosed ceiling globe fixtures.  I'll update if the LED bulb fails.
- Printed on the bulb - not to be directly exposed to water.

X-10 home automation remarks:
 Excellent power supply noise suppression! These LED bulbs generate "zero" AC power line nose, as verified with my ACT AT004 X-10 PCC multi-tester.

Closing remarks:
 This is a well made LED bulb. At 3000K (soft white), it a bit whiter, compared to 2700K (warm white).  A good compromise when a 4000K (daylight) bulb would be too white, perfect for the bathroom.

 Update - December 13, 2017
 I thought I'd update this review, specifically on the LED bulbs that were installed in an enclosed bathroom globe fixture.  Absolutely no issues to report, the enclosed bulbs have been & still are working perfectly!

This small, LED globe light emits 250 lumens or the equivalent of a 15 watts incandescent bulb and is therefore only appropriate where a low-light bulb is needed.  The base fits into a standard fixture, and the diameter of the globe is roughly 2".  The light is almost indistinguishable (to me) from compact fluorescent light, although not as warm as traditional incandescent.

I'm a huge fan of G7 Power bulbs, especially now that they have improved the look of their LED heat sinks to blend them in better with the white glass.  Yes, LED bulbs seem ridiculously expensive when compared to incandescent and even compact fluorescent equivalents, but their energy usage is much lower.  LED lights will supposedly last for up to 15 years or 50,000 hours; if they do, the savings long-term will be significant.  Because the technology is so new, however, no one seems to know for sure whether the predictions will hold true.  I figure that it's worth the chance, especially for lights that are used frequently or are located in difficult-to-replace locations.  Because I've gotten to used to CFL bulbs, I tend to forget that I'm using an LED bulb.

This specialty bulb would be an excellent choice for a decorative fixture that uses low-watt globe bulbs.  (Note:  I received a sample for review.)

Finally an LED bulb for the masses.  Works great in place of 60 or 75 watt bulbs. Same shape is great.

For a 5Watt LED spotlight, this is exactly what i wanted.  For me, the "warm white" was a very good choice (although i will admit i am not a picky, picky color-sensitive person.)  I am astounded by how much light 5Watts can deliver.

The Amazon listing states "not dimmable."  But I did have to try it out in one of those touch-lamps (where, by touching the metal base of the lamp a person can get three different levels of light.)  The bulb would not turn ON at all until the highest brightness setting at which point the bulb would light;  Obviously, needing to touch the base three times to turn ON the light was annoying so i dedicated this bulb instead to a simple ON/OFF hovering "goose neck" desklight where it (and me) can be happy.

The longevity of this bulb is stated as 25,000hours which is about 3 years of constant ON.  That is about 1/4 the normal rating of many such LED bulbs.  But the fact that the manufacturer states that only Samsung (name branded) LEDs are used in the construction tends to impress me that maybe the manufacturer is simply being conservative in the expected longevity;  Needless to say, i will likely never use this bulb sufficiently to see failure since that desklamp is ON probably only five hours per week so this should last nearly 100years in my intended application.  And if failure happens a whole lot sooner, i plan to return here to comment/update this review.

Yorkim 31mm Cree LED 10W White LED Bulb, these little lights are amazingly bright, I bought the 10 watt and the 5 watt lights for a project and it has taken me some time to get my project together and it is not yet finished but will review anyway so as not to delay any longer. These are quality LED light bulbs, they are small enough to replace the bulb in your dome light and I have not used them for that but a friend of mine that I gave one of the bulbs to used his for the dome light in his minivan, his complaint was with the normal incandescent bulbs that once they were on and hot if the trunk lid or rear hatch is then closed with any force the incandescent bulb filament would break and he was buying bulbs all the time, but since he has replaced with one of these LED bulbs it is brighter and much more reliable. Now these little bulbs do get pretty hot and I was going to test that and I will in the future post the temperature of these bulbs once they are hooked up. They have a small heat sink on them and after on for a bit it gets pretty hot. The 10 watt bulbs it appears are just two of the 5 watt LEDs on the same bulb. The 5 watt bulbs are very bright but as you can imagine the 10 watts are twice as bright and actually hurt to look into.
I did receive this light at a discounted rate for review, but the review is my own opinion. Getting the light at a discounted rate did not change my opinion at all. These are very well made light bulbs and have many uses.  I was able to find the festoon sockets at a local electronic shop and have found many uses for these bulbs, too many projects too little time. Any place that you need to add light consider using one of these bulbs.

We have BR30 lights throughout our house, and decided it was time to convert to LED. We tried both the 4000k and this 3000k, to end up with the same color as we have today.  The 3000k matched perfectly, so we purchased 80 lights.

To be honest, I assumed there would be at least a couple of DOA bulbs, but everyone worked!  The other real advantage of these is that the base is a much higher quality, so threading them into the fixtures goes so much better than the standard bulbs you get from Phillips.

They are also a tad brighter than the standard incandescent bulbs, so everything in the house looks just a bit brighter, cheerier. We also needed the ability to dim the bulbs, which these have.

So, very happy so far, let's hope the life span at least comes close to the predicted time.

Great soft light......unlike many of the LED bulbs

I have a short track over my desk with the old 1970s heads for R30 floods, which I keep pointed at the ceiling, flooding my work area with indirect light.  Modern heads don't fit my track, so I try to make do.  Ordinary PAR30 size bulbs do not work for so many reasons, the worst of which being 1- the heat (half the track heads that came with the house are cooked), and 2- full-size floods (CFLs too) stick out the end of the can by 1/2 inch or so, and create a highly distracting 'bright spot,' one glance at which gives you spots when you return to the computer screen.  My wife says this bothers me a lot more than it should a normal person, but there it is, I've always preferred diffuse, indirect light.  I have been using 8 watt PAR20 LEDs, which substitute for a 45w halogen, but even with 3 or 4 of them, they are only just bright enough.  So when the brighter, short-neck PAR30s became available, I was first in line.  And they are perfect for my application.  They seat a couple inches inside my track heads, and two of them are plenty bright enough for my work area (geez, where did all that dust come from?).  If they die in the first 6 months or so I'll come back and tell you, but right now, I love these bulbs.  LED lighting keeps getting better and cheaper, and this is proof.

I purchased two of these and had problems with both. The company responded very quickly to ensure I was satisfied and replaced them. The new ones work great. I haven't had a problem with either of them.
This is the only broadband red led that I can find on the entire internet. Most red LEDs emit light at very narrow frequencies ranges using a red diode. This LED emits light through the entire orange and red part of the spectrum using a phosphor. It has exactly the spectrum I was looking for. I would call the color of this light peachy or salmon-red, definitely more on the red side than orange or pink. The light it emits has a softer appearance than most other red LEDs. I prefer the quality of the light to that of other red LEDs.

I will probably end up purchasing more and will update this review after using them for a while. I scoured the internet in search of a spectrograph of this LED but was unable to find one. I used a Sekonic C-700 to measure it and have attached it to my review.

Overall, I am happy with these LEDs. While not quite as bright as LEDs using red diodes instead of a red phosphor, the appearance of the light is less harsh.

This is a heavy duty, bright bulb suitable for PAR30 fixtures. It is designed to run on varying voltages, from 90V to 277V, so it can be used on 220V circuit as well as on a US standard 110 circuit. It provides 1100 lumens, which is approximately equivalent to a 75 to 85W incandescent bulb. It has a plastic head and plastic side fins to shed heat. Not that there is much heat to shedthis bulb runs very cool, even compared to similar CFL PAR30 bulbs. But unlike CFL bulbs, this bulb is mercury-free. Thus, it's safer all aroundunlikely to ever shatter or explode and it won't cause a hazardous spill or toxic waste diposal problem. It is rated for 25000 hours, more than twice as long as a comparable CFL PAR30, and more than ten times as long as a comparable incandescent PAR 30. Thus, replacement costs are much lower with this bulb, especially if you factor in labor costs or the dangers involved in replacing bulbs in tricky, hard-to-reach fixtures.

This bulb will save you a bundle of money in the long run:

Total costs (purchase/replacement + electricity over life of the bulb, assuming $.12/kwh)
--this LED bulb (1 needed for 25000 hours): $77.69
--23W CFL PAR 30 (2.5 needed for 25000 hours): $98.75
--100W incandescent PAR 30 (12.5 needed for 25000 hours): $409.64

As soon as I opened the package, I knew I was holding quality. The bulb simply feels well constructed. Also, I really like the light color from this bulb. With a temperature of 4100K, it is whiter than a clear metal halide bulb, and nearly as white as a daylight CFL. Thus, colors under this bulb don't have that yellowish distortion that you often find under an incandescent bulb. The ability to use this bulb in 220 volt circuits is another plus. Overall, if you are in need of a heavy duty, bright PAR30 bulb, this is an excellent choice that works well and saves money.

Light output seems very adequate and is as described.  The picture and description are misleading however, as this is a short neck bulb and is less than adequate when used in a recessed situation.  I bought this to replace a medium neck bulb and it does not fit the bill.

Courtesy of the Amazon Vine program, I have received a Sunlite PAR20/LED/7.5W/FL40/DIM/ES/30K LED 3000K PAR20 7.5W 50W Replacement 120V Medium Base PAR20 HE Series Reflector with Dimmable Energy Star Light Bulb, Warm White for review. I have installed this in my ceiling to replace one of the halogen flood light since a month ago.

I am really very impressed by the quality of this bulb. It runs very hot, just like the halogen bulb it replaced. However, it is only 7.5W and it is actually brighter than the 50W bulb it replaced. The color look very similar. I say it is a bit more white and less yellow than my existing halogen bulb, which is also rated at 30K color temperature. I like the fact that LED bulbs are literally maintenance free since they are quoted to last 25K hours. Unfortunately my ceiling track is not fitted with any dimmer, and so I could not test the dimming feature.

Ever since I have started replacing the bulbs at home with LED, the price has come down and I really have never had a bad LED bulb so far. At this price, this Sunlite is a steal and I am placing all other five bulbs in the track with this. High recommended!

Finally there is an excellent 60 watt equivalent LED bulb.  It is very difficult to tell the difference in light output and color from a incandescent light bulb.  The only difference is the LED bulb is slightly brighter which is a good thing.

The only issue I have is it uses 9.5 watts of energy.  Most LED bulbs in this class use 7 to 7.5 watts.  Still, it is a far cry better than the full 60 watts!  So, this is a minor issue.

I highly recommend this LED bulb!

Over the last several years as a RV fulltimer I've tried several eBay LED bulbs in the search for adequate lighting. I wish I had found these sooner. The warm is just a hare too warm, but they're bright as can be which is where cheaper eBay bulbs suffer.

I tried the Vivid Lighting LED Bulbs out and was quite pleased with the results! I tried both the bright white 5000K and soft white 2700K bulbs.  LED bulbs in general are great lighting solutions for their low power consumption, instant-on performance, and long life.

The light output and color are as expected, and comparable to other 60W equivalent LED bulbs on the market for the temperature specifications. What I like and sets these apart from the rest is the size.

Whereas most competitors' 60W equivalent LED bulbs have a total height and diameter the same as a regular 60W incandescent light bulb, these are the slightly smaller size of a 50W incandescent light bulb.  While this might sound bad on the surface, I really like the results:

1) LED bulbs have a solid, non-light emitting base.  Because of this non-lit section, the bulb's effective total glow position is moved away from the socket as compared to a frosted incandescent light bulb.  For a good majority of my applications, this puts the middle of the total glow of the bulb off-center in my lamp/fixture/device.  If you have lamp with a translucent or glass shade, you know what I'm talking about.  With the Vivid Lighting LED Bulb's shorter overall height, the resulting bulb glow occurs somewhat closer to the socket, which better centers it in the installation.  I like that!

2) With the smaller physical size the same as a 50W bulb, I can install these 60W equivalent Vivid Lighting LED Bulbs in my space constraining 50W bulb applications and safely get more light output with less heat and lower power consumption than with the original applications!

For these two main reasons, that makes the Vivid Lighting LED Bulbs a more versatile solution overall in my arsenal of lighting choices, especially compared to the LED competition.

That's a clear winner in my book!

I used this bulb for an industrial style iron pipe lamp and it fits in perfectly with the style I wanted! It emits a comfortable medium low light, with a warm comfortable tone. It is bright enough for a table lamp, but may not be the best for reading with as a sole light source. It can absolutely add style to a room though!
After having this bulb for a few months, it is still going strong and I expect it to last a while longer.
My only complaint was how gosh darn long it took to get here, you would think I actually ordered it in Edison's day! After seeing comparable bulbs with free, quicker shipping, I would not recommend this bulb.
HOWEVER, if you simply are curious and are in no hurry to get something like this and want good quality, from my experience, this is hard to beat as a single bulb purchase.
