Shorter Lifespan than Incandescent Light
345962
Works OK  when first inserted.
Starts flickering quickly in an undimmed application.
Progresses to total failure inside of two years.
Much better off with a cheaper incandescent light than the pricier ones from this company.

Be aware that this bulb will only run for 5000 hours, and the shelf life is 20 years.  These bulbs don't last any longer than CFLs.  You are better off buying another brand LED as they will last 4Xs as long and be about the same price, or a CFL that is 1/4 the price...

We have had two bulbs fail in the past 12 months, the first one failing in 4 months, the second failing in about the same amount of time.  The stated life expectancy is 22.8 years.  We like the soft light and the high brightness, but the life expectancy is poor.  Would look for another brand when we go through the 4-pack that we purchased.

I enjoy using these and find the light to be very pleasant. The dimming is very even and convenient from the remote. At the price of these I can only hope they last the estimated 23 years for a reasonable payback. I don't know how the dimming of them effects life expectancy or energy consumption. They are a very heavy bulb and in some types of multi bulb fixtures that might be something to consider. All in all I like the LED technology in lighting and think as the price eventually comes down they will surely replace all those nasty CFL's that the consumer was lured to a few years ago.

Better than LEDs.  They Heat up vaporizing moisture inside the lamp allowing it to vent out and not condense on the lens.  Short Life span however - only a few months before having to replace them.  For the price and the bright white almost LED like light, I'm dealing with it but I'll keep searching for a better product.

I purchased these for my ceiling fan in the kitchen. My family tends to leave these lights on 18 hours a day. Regular bulbs were lasting about 2-3 months. I went to CFL's and I got about 6-8 months out of them. I decided to go LED and purchased these. I was shocked that the first one went out at 1 month. The second went out at 2 months and within 2 weeks the third one died.

I have an LED light outside my home that is on from dusk until dawn and the bulb is over 4 years old.

Story:
I have 10 x 65 watt incandescant flood lights in recessed fixtures under my patio cover. These are all wired to a slider dimmer switch with a built-in on/off switch. I noticed that I was burning out the bulbs on the dimmer faster than the incandescants in my hallway on a traditional switch. With 4 bulbs burnt out recently, I decided to make the switch to led's.

Comparisons:
The 9watt led's are whiter vs the 65 watt soft white incandescant. The led light is still "soft" and look more appealing to my eyes. They put out more visable light, but are not blinding. The led's work well with the dimmer, but do not dim down quite as low as the 65watt. I never dim them down that low anyway so it's not a worry to me. The lights seem to be of good quality and come in sturdy packing. I haven't dropped one but with a plastic lens, I would think it would be superior to the incandescant in any drop test.

Savings:
I live in California. My calculations assume that energy costs stay at a constant ($.16 kw/h) and both bulbs last until their stated lifespan.

-Incandescant
65w x 200 hours/ 1000 = 130 kw/h.
130 kw/h x .16 = $20.80 energy cost for lifespan of bulb
$20.80 + $3.00 (amazon price for GE R30 65w floodlight) = $23.80 (lifetime total bulb cost)

-Led
9w x 45,000 hours/1000 = 405kw/h
405kw/h x .16 = $64.80 + $8.99 (amazon cost of led) = $73.70 (lifetime total led cost)

-The led lasts 22.5 times longer than the incandescant. (45,000h/2000h). So the equivalent incandescant cost vs led would be:
22.5 x $23.80 = $535.50.

Incandescant = $535.50
LED = $73.79

Conclusion:
With a higher up front cost the led never seems like a good bargain, but somewhere around the 6000 hour mark the savings begin. With a better light and longer life I will be changing the rest of my bulbs in the house to led's and recommend that everybody do the same. I will try to remember to update my review in a couple years!

I like the bright white light these give, and I don't worry so much when the lights are on or left on as they sip the electricity.  Unfortunately, after replacing them twice, they do not last.  Not more than a few weeks to a couple of months.

UPDATE 2/28/2016 - Only 6 days after submitted a warranty claim for the 2 burned out bulbs on the company's website, I received replacements via FEDEX.  With that kind of support and response, I'm changing my review to 4 stars.

----------------------------------Original Review------------------------------------------

Ordered these on October 11, 2015.  Box states 18.3 years average life.  Today, February 21, 2016 the second of 6 bulbs burned out.  So far the bulbs have lasted 0.02% of the advertised life.
One bulb was in lamp in a guest room which saw less than an hour of use per week.  The second, which failed today, was in a powder room and saw about an hour of use per day.  Both are well under the stated 3 hours daily use leading to 18.3 years.
I'm going to attempt a warranty replacement; otherwise, I'd pop the covers off to check if these are actually LEDs.  I wouldn't be surprised to find they are actually incandescent being sold as LEDs.

While the suppliers delivery performance was great, the lifespan of the bulbs was far less than expected.  The bulbs are used at night, so let's say that's about 12 hours per day.  (which obviously is an inflated figure)  The bulbs have all "burned out" after less than 5 thousand hours (365 days x 12 hours)  They were great while they lasted, but this is the second time that I've had to replace them, in far less than the advertised lifespan.  I realize that the bulbs are probably from multiple manufacturers, but the problem is throughout the multiple groups of suppliers.

  I think that the LED bulbs are a wonderful replacement for the traditional Halogen or Incandescent bulbs.  But, the lifespan of the circuitry needs to mature to allow a longer lifespan.

  All of that being said, I have ordered more of the bulbs 50 plus pieces, as I believe they will be better as time goes on, and the manufacturer perfects the process.

We purchased a lamp that required a 3-way bulb like this one and it has only continued to cause us headaches as the bulbs don't last very long.

I bought a 2-pack almost a year ago and the bulbs have generally been working fine, but I'm not impressed by how long they last.  We installed these in a room where the light is normally on for about 20-30 minutes, a couple of nights per week.  At most, the bulbs were seeing use 2 hours per week.  The first bulb burned out after less than 3 months; the second bulb lasted about seven months.  As neither of them gave us more than 100 hours of use, I'm definitely going to be looking for a different bulb this next time around.  I'll update this review if I find one that seems to be of higher quality.

Bulb was purchased to replace the incandescent lamp in an emergency lighting fixture. With the standard incandescent lamp, the battery in the fixture is supposed to keep the lamp lit for ~ 30 min as I recall.  My thought was that by substituting an LED, I'd get roughly equivalent lighting for a substantially longer period of time.  Perhaps because the light emitting from the LED is not properly captured by the plastic optics of the emergency lighting fixture, the illumination level provided by the fixture, with LEDs installed, is too low.

The lower illumination level is probably my fault and not that of the LED bubl; I need to have chosen a different lamp.

This review is similar to another review since both products are made by the same manufacturer and sold by the same vendor.

Soft warm yellowish light is splashing all over my hallway from this light bulb. It is a good source of night light and could be a good bulb for chandeliers, as it is easy on the eyes and is not distracting like some other blinding fluorescent lights. So far my eyes are not tired rather relaxed.

On first impression, this bulb mimics old incandescent bulbs but unlike those bulbs this one is not coated / gild on the glass and it is more energy efficient according to its stats. It claims to provide 20,000 hours of light using 6W and 110-130V.

Wattage:  6W
CAP:  E12S
Cover:  Clear
Color temp:  2700K
Voltage:  110 - 130V
Dimmable:  Yes

As for being environmentally friendly, the LED filament bulbs are RoHS compliant, so no need for special recycling like fluorescent bulbs which has toxic mercury.

Other Points:
- It is dimmable but I have not tried that function.
- It has a two year guarantee.
- It came well packaged and secured in strong cardboard box.
- $12.60 on Amazon is a bit pricey for one light bulb but consider the benefits as well.

Overall I like it. Three stars. One remove because of cost. And other one removed because I usually hold back a star until the product passes the test of time and performance. How long will this relaxing light bulb last? Time will tell. I will try to report back with any updates when available.

I was given this product at a discount or for free to sample, in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Light worked OK for about a year, but I noticed it often flickers, so the intensity varies significantly and lead me to think the batteries were running out. However, if I lightly fiddle with the rear switch, the intensity changes, therefore there is a loose contact in the switch ad it is not obvious how to fix it. This light should last a bit longer and be more reliable.

I bought three of these in March 2015.  It is September 2016 and one has died.  These were for a room where the lighting is only used for 2-3 hours each day.  I have CFL's that were purchased before this bulb that still work great.  Why again are we paying so much for a bulb that might last only about 7% of its' advertised life?

The lights themselves look nice, however the life of the bulb leaves something to be desired.  This is to be expected with "higher" output bulbs, however with way to warranty them I would not purchase again.  Lasted approximately 8 months.

Since moving into my new home, I've been replacing all the incandescent bulbs with LEDs -- and there are a lot of them! Can't believe the previous owner hadn't moved on to CFLs, at the very least. The presence of all those old bulbs made this tree-hugger see red, not green.

All of the switches have dimmers, so I've been careful to buy the correct type of bulb. Otherwise, the lights simply flicker. (Okay, I did make a mistake - once.)

The light emits a warm glow and looks great above the bathroom sink.

The side of the box describes the product as "long life 22.8 yrs." However, the limited warranty (with receipt) is for three years, based on three hours' use per day.

If it fails anytime soon, I'll repost. If it lasts 22.8 years, someone else will need to amend the review since I'll be nearing 90 then. Just sayin'.
