Feit 4.8 Watt = 40 Watts LED Candelabra Light Bulbs 3-Pack 3000K

These work great! I installed 10 of these in a chandelier and at full brightness they are approximately the brightness of the sun while only using 48W! The dimming feature works great without any noticeable flicker or buzzing. These emit a pure white light, without any noticeable blue hues like some other LEDs. Installed the in another chandelier that is not dimmable and decided to only install 5 of them because they are so bright. The build quality seems superb, and the packaging item was well packaged. I ordered 7 of these 3-packs and all 21 bulbs worked perfectly. After reading the mixed results around here, perhaps others have faulty fixtures? Incandescents do not really care about bad power and will work with just about anything. Once you throw a circuit board in the mix (like the ones driving these LEDs), you may see issues if your fixture/power isn't up to snuff. If you use your chandelier or any other light fixture with this bulb type, there has never been a better time to buy these with power prices surging up all over the place.

My wife leaves the lights on in the dining room all the time, which was driving me crazy. I figured, to salvage this marriage, I'd pony up for some energy efficient bulbs and tell her to leave em on till the end of time. At the store, there were no CFLs for candelabras. I'm not a fan of CFLs anyway - they take forever to brighten, don't last nearly as long as advertised, and mercury. So this was my first foray into the world of LED bulbs for home lighting. The prices are so high this FEIT set of 3 seemed to be the best buy. All 3 bulbs are working, so I had no issues with a dead bulb. My wife and I assumed we wouldn't like the warmth of the bulbs but we are pleasantly surprised. It's no glowing tungsten, but it's really not that bad. So those two things along with a reasonable price have motivated me to give this 5 stars and perhaps leave potential buyers at ease. At ~6 a bulb, given the amount of usage it will receive, I expect each bulb to pay for itself in energy costs after about 1 year. Another reason I wanted these or CFLs was how much heat the 60w bulbs were creating inside the chandelier. Somewhat surprising to me is how hot the white base of these LEDs gets. You don't want to touch it for too long. However the bulb is cool to the touch. If I had a current meter I'd check to see how much energy these are actually using. Seems like too much heat is being dissipated for these to only draw a few watts. At any rate - I'm going to order 3 more to finish off my chandelier. Then it's going to be blinding in here. The way my wife has to have it - even at midday. Update (July 2014) - after a few months one of the bulbs (I now have a full 6 populating the chandelier) would turn on and off (toggling somewhat randomly but in no shorter than 5 minute intervals). As of last week it is dead. So one out of the six did not live up to its billing. If another goes out I may have to downgrade to 4 stars. Overall, still satisfied with the quality given the price. Update (October 2015) - So it's more than a year later. The 5 of 6 that were working in July 2014 (one went out pretty early on) are still working. They've gotten a lot of use. If we are awake, our dining room chandelier is most-likely on. It was a good purchase at ~$6/bulb I think I'm going to rig up something and test the current draw. The amount of heating coming off the base just seems to indicate it could be higher than advertised.

I bought these to replace the incandescent lights over my bathroom sink. They definitely aren't as bright as the 40w lights that I had in there before. The price was cheap for a three pack, since my local Home Depot was all out of stock on the smaller LED bulb sizes. After only a few days, one of the three lights is starting to flicker a bit. Not sure if it is going to last much longer. I have started looking for replacements already that are higher quality and a little brighter, maybe 530 lumens compared to the 300 that these put out. I'm not really sure if it is 300 lumens - maybe just because the light isn't directed too well it doesn't seem as bright. These bulbs are cheap, but I feel that you get what you pay for. They are instant on and use less energy than CFL or incandescent bulbs. This particular brand and bulbs aren't working out for me though, with one starting to fail after only a few days of use. Might just be a bad bulb or so, but I'm going to look for another brand (maybe Cree?) that makes this size, with higher output. Your mileage may vary. Update: Ended up replacing with these bulbs - (3-PACK) 6-Watt LED Chandelier Bulb, 60-Watt replacement, 580 Lumens, E12 Candelabra Base, 5000K Natural Daylight White, UL Listed . The color is more daylight than the Feit bulbs and the bulbs are a lot brighter. No flickering yet.

Don't last as advertised! Purchased these for coach lights for my garage. I'm one to embrace new technology and I thought these would be perfect to the old incandescent lights that I was using. The old lights would usually burn out in about three to six months I am not complaining about the light output or color of these lights as others have. They did not flicker and light output was very good. I gave these a try and was very diligent about writing the dates that I put them in and the date that I found them burned out.. Giving theses lights every benefit of the doubt. I only wrote down the date that I noticed they were burned out and that the lights are a dusk to dawn operation average 12 hours a day. I have now replaced 5 of these light. The average time for them was 8.2 months or about 3000 hours. This is a far cry from the 25,000 hours they claim. I was really expecting these to last 5 years. I am trying a different brand now. If these don't work I will return to the old incandescent lights. Even factoring in the energy saving these lights are not worth 4 times the upfront cost and only lasting slightly longer than the old technology.

Replaced nearly all my house bulbs now with LEDs -- Expensive, but low energy usage and reliability has generally been very satisfactory. These bulbs intended for use in a ceiling fan that takes three candelabras were advertised as dimmable, but I found they did not dim with the switch I have. (I know about different (Lutron) dimmers for lower wattage LEDs, and I have used some but I have also found that regular (old incandescent) dimmers will work OK with some LEDs.) Anyway, these bulbs do not dim well when put in the ceiling light which has dual rheostat-type dimmers for both the ceiling fan and its light...anything less than full on and they flash intermittently. I tried them with another light where I had installed an LED dimmer and they don't work there either. Intermittent flashing and non-linear dimming bulb to bulb. I will put them in the coach lights for my father-in-law's garage. No dimmers there. Price OK. Quick delivery. Poor dimming.

These are great, energy efficient, and as bright as incandescent 60w bulbs in my 9-light chandelier. Be ready for a somewhat bluer color than incandescents, but otherwise you won't notice much of a difference. They start fast (one quick flicker and they're on full) and dim smoothly. There is one important note, though, when using these (and other LEDs, in my experience) in a multi-light fixture (including ceiling fans) that is controlled by an electronic dimmer switch: The electronic controllers in the LEDs go crazy if there are only LEDs in the fixture. I mean strobe light/light chaser crazy - not tolerable. Short of getting rid of your dimmer switch, there is a simple but strange remedy: Leave at least one incandescent or halogen bulb in the fixture, and everything works fine. I've experienced this at least three times in different fixtures and fans - it works every time. BTW, it also works with Compact Florescent bulbs that are supposed to be dimmable - they often don't work right in ceiling fans, but work fine if there are two or more bulbs and one remains an incandescent or halogen. I'm sure there are some electrical engineers out there who will be able to explain this. As dimmable circuitry improves it probably won't be an issue any more, but right now it is and it's got a simple if unexpected solution. Otherwise, these are great bulbs and a good buy.

These LED Candelabra bulbs are equivalent to 40 watt incandescent bulbs and use a fraction of the electricity. I bought them to use in my ceiling fan, but they will not work in my fan because the light has glass sides and the bulbs are a bit to long for the fixture. This is in no way a fault of the bulb. I just bought the wrong bulb hoping it would work. No Problem, I will use them in another fixture. I have converted my whole house to LED bulbs except the bulb in the well house that keeps the pump from freezing in winter. The savings on my electric bill is phenomenal. These bulbs have a life span of 23 years so I will at age 67 never have to replace another bulb. I have used Feit bulbs for most of my house. They are reasonably priced, give off a nice temperature (color) of light and they are very reliable. I highly recommend Feit bulbs!

Nice replacement for power-hungry incandescents. I used these to replace a few bulbs in some sconces in a bedroom. There is a VERY slight hesitation when the switch is flipped, but then they're on and at full brightness. The color is fine - not noticeably different from the old bulbs, though the DO shine through a milky glass diffusing cover. The provide as much illumination as the 40 watt incandescent bulbs they replaced. I've had them in place for some months now, and they seem to be fine. How long they will last is anyone's guess. But I enjoy thinking that they are eating up just a fraction of the energy the old bulbs needed. Lighting isn't such a big fraction of the power usage in the house, so I can't see a noticeable drop in the electric bill. But hopefully, they're a more environmentally sound option. I do not have a dimmer on the circuit, so they burn at just one brightness level, with which I'm quite happy. I don't think the bulb is particularly pretty, or petite. They're great behind a shade or diffuser. I can't say they'd be especially handsome in a chandelier or candelabra where they were completely exposed to view!
