Norb NorbSMILE Full Spectrum Sun Light Bulb - CA California Energy Compliant, Par 30 Long Neck, 10W LED Flood Style Light Bulb, Natural Sunlike Spectrum Imitates Sunlight Indoors, Patented (1-Pack)

Bought a 4 pack of the lights for a bedroom in the basement. After only a couple of weeks 3 of the 4 lights just stopped working. Checked the bulbs in other sockets and checked the sockets with other bulbs... they were dead. I was a little upset to say the least. I did a quick search and found their web site and reached out to customer service not knowing what to expect. Well, within 24 hours they had 3 new bulbs mailed out Priority USPS to me with a return label for the defective bulbs! The 5 stars is because of their customer service. The bulbs, when they were functioning were worth it and provided great natural light. Not only could you see the difference but you could actually feel it as well.

UPDATED; Love this bulb it but only lasted one month. I have it at two stars not because of the product itself but because I purchased it on September 28, by October 26 it was burnt out. Not even a full 30 days of use. Otherwise it would have all five star rating from me. I would love to fill my house with these bulbs but if I have to purchase new bulbs every 3 weeks no way. Perhaps I got a defect. Will contact the company. I contacted the company and sure enough I must have ended up with a defective bulb. Norb instantly apologized and not only replaced my bulb but sent me a second bulb for the inconvenience as well as a very nice hand written thank you note. They also sent a return label so they could investigate the original bulb I purchased. I love these bulbs and the company has made a faithful customer out of me. And in the darkest days of Seattle winter I’m now feeling much better in my home on these awful gray days.

Nice and bright. Not sure if they'll help SAD, but they are great light on the kitchen door cooking and don't feel hatch on the years despite massive brightness.

I bought two of these bulbs to try in my bedroom where I sometimes work on my laptop & spend time reading. I have been highly resistant to switch to LED bulbs because I enjoy the saturated warm glow of traditional bulbs that no LED appears capable of truly emulating. I prefer whole home matching bulbs, but since my bedroom is a different color than the rest of the home, in which a whiter LED may be appealing, it is my LED test bulb area. Encouraged by the Norb representation of a broader daylight spectrum & happiness, I decided to give these a try. After 24 hours, I am writing this review and leaving you my initial thoughts, inspired primarily by what I agree with and don’t in the reviews left by others thus far. For comparison, my two lamps have a clear slightly dot frosted glass shade with crystal dangles around them, so it feels like I am getting the whole bulb color experience lying under them — one maybe 3 feet away. One light is close to a window so you can compare its color to outside today in the photos. 1. This is an LED cool white colored light. So the question becomes if you think daylight color is more yellow or clear whitish. I think of a bright sunny yellow day or a cooler whiter overcast day. This is a cooler white. 2. I do agree a person can probably see colors as truly intended better with this shade vs regular bulbs. Old fashioned yellow bulbs cause higher color saturation which I believe makes skin tones look better, but saturates color more. 3. One reviewer said “there is something different with this light.... you can feel it.” I agree. I can compare it when the sun is positioned and shines on my face through the window. I get a bit drowsy, content & relaxed feeling. I love to close my eyes and let the sun shine down. I think that is what I am feeling or some sort of relaxation around the eyes with this light on. It is different. 4. The representations about the effect on mood, I will have to use this awhile longer to report back in. I suspicion it will affect people differently depending on their issue with SAD, depression, headaches or Vitamin D. As far as me, I am Vitamin D deficient, so I am a good test subject for that issue. All I know for now is in #3. It’s calming somehow, but weird. 5. So far these work fine and no flicker. I am encouraged by the positive reviews on customer service being there if I have an issue like that. I will update. 6. As some reviewers have stated like in the basement gym, the brightness level is not high. It seems much lower and less glaring while still being adequately illumination for most spaces. Super bright - no. I like that this LED is not harsh like other bulbs - LED or not. 7. One of the reviewers, mentioned his sister suffering headaches from her work lamp lighting that this cured. I am going to see if I have any lessening of headaches with time and update if I form more of an opinion on that. But I can feel less eye strain somehow. 8. For the reviewer that said these bulbs create a “happy vibe,” there is definitely a different vibe to it, so if you want to change bad energy or vibes in a room, this is an option to do just that for sure. I will have to use it much longer and update this as far as further opinion with ongoing use. 9. I am thus far happy with this purchase in that it feels much different than my traditional bulbs and my other LEDs that are much harsher in a normal bulb way or like UFO beam me up bright. Gotta give these bulbs some time to try to mojo me with “happy vibes,” so we will see. If you have clear expectation of the bulb like I said, I think these are a really great bulb to try for space and condition!

Got 2 - worked okay for a couple of weeks, nice bright light, then one started flickering; it progressively got worse and then the 2nd one joined in only a few weeks after. We now have the "benefit" of "light-shows" happening randomly. No other lights in the house are flickering while this happens. UPDATE: one started turning off and back on a few days ago, the switching frequency increased soon after, then it turned off completely. Switching the lights off and giving it 30 min can allow it to restart but hen it does it again. The second bulb now started flickering more often. I replaced both with some standard daylight LED bulbs. Where I live now I can't even throw them in the garbage, have to take to take them to electronics disposal center. In conclusion, it looks like poor QC, bulbs expected life time around 200-300 hours, you could have one working for a while if used 20 min each morning, to "Supports Circadian Rhythm". The bulbs are above the kitchen island, with wide shades, so it is not a problem of overheating. Can't comment on "Full-Spectrum Sunlike” other than at such poor quality who's to say you get any other claims about the product. Also, got an automated email response to my initial 1 star review, I assume this is a built in function from Amazon, seen the same text from other sellers before. I find it useless and quite offensive. For starters, even if I get money back or free replacements it doesn't change the poor quality of the product, so my review stays (or is this why the good ratings on Amazon?). Then, how bad is your product if you need an automatic system to handle customer complains?

No sientes ninguna vitalidad ni que sea como parecido a la luz solar o que te dé algún estilo de sensación diferente nada carísimo solamente

The bulb arrived quickly in pristine condition (including packaging). Unfortunately it would not turn on when inserted into a few sockets where other bulbs would work. If I decide to return for refund, I'll report on that.
