I bought this light as I have never tried LED bulbs. I replaced a 12 watt Compact Fl in my night reading lamp. One thing I noticed right away is the instant bright. CF lamps come on right away, but take several minutes to reach full intensity. This lamp is full bright, nice warm color. No flickers, and great power savings.
I will be investing in more of these, and other LED lamps!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Love this bulb
,PostedJune 27, 2011
I've purchased 6 of these and love the light output color and bulb styling. Some other bulbs use silver and I simply prefer the white and more globe shaped bulb. The light output is virtually the same color as the typical 60w bulbs used and no one can tell the difference. I especially like these for our condo's outdoor lighting fixtures because they emit out and downward and help reduce the upward light pollution, so the stars are more visible.
These use to be a far better value when they were priced under $10 each, so I'll be waiting for a sale before purchasing additional bulbs.
Yes, I recommend this product.

EcoSmart LED A19
,PostedMarch 29, 2011

I purchased one of these EcoSmart LED A19, because my garage door light was a CF kept burning out and was very slow to come up to full brightness.
The EcoSmart LED A19 is working great and goes on to full brightness.
If the price comes down a bit more I will buy more for arounfd the house.

I bought the dimmable LED bulb because I'm tired of changing light bulbs. This LED bulb puts out the right amount of light, stays cool, and won't need replacing for a long long time. The fact that it reduces my power bill is a bonus.

We had purchased some bulb shaped LED light bulbs for our ceiling fan lighting in the bedrooms but didn't really understand Lumens and so we didn't know that they were a bit too dim for lighting a whole room. We got these to replace them (and are moving the other LED lights to other fixtures) and we LOVE them - very nice, bright, natural looking light. Going to go and get some more at this great price of less than $10 each - can't find another 40W equivalent out there at that price!!!

I took a leap and am happy to report that my first week with these LED bulbs is going well. They are truly instant on and make no appreciable noise when dimmed. They provide a nice ambient slightly more blu-ish tint than the CFLs which I am replacing. They could be brighter. They could be cheaper. All in good time, my friends. Let's enjoy the fruits of technologically laboring engineers who are helping us all consume less natural resources.
Pros: Compact, Eco-Friendly, Great Dimming, Nice Design, Easy Installation

Great replacement bulb, my old bulb was a 15 watt cfl bulb. If was to hot, so I bought this bulb. Its a nice bright white light in my small desk lamp. Its still has some heat, but you won't burn your fingers if you touch the bulb when its on. Its a great price at about $10.00

I bought 1 today and tried it out. Was back later on and bought 3 more. 9 watts thats a 40 watt equivalent. But in my opinion I don't mind them in place of a 60, they are pretty bright in most fixtures. If you want to save some money on your electric bill these will pay for themselves fast.

these bulbs have by far the best light output on the market. use these bulbs for enclosed ceiling fixtures. for scones use the new $13 or $17 bulb from ecosmart as they will illuminate the entire scone much better. just switched over my entire house and it was a very great decision. try for yourself and you will be pleased

mine have been working fine. I have 5 of them now. to the people that have had theirs die, do you have a surge protector? I seriously doubt the LED itself it blowing. these LED bulbs have a transformer built into them (thats why their so heavy), most likely that is going bad. I use APC surge/battery backup units for ALL my electronics. I cant guarantee it will fix your issue, but it cant hurt at all.
anyway, I think these bulbs have a good bit of light. their not super bright, but not dim either. if you look at other bulbs cost/performance wise, these are great. let me know if you find better

Though these are a bit pricey I was surprised by the light output, it's actually useable :) output was as much if not more than the bulb it replaced. Looks enough like a regular bulb it can be used where it is exposed like a table lamp.

I have been looking for a good quality LED replacement bulb for my family room ceiling fan. After reading the reviews, I've seen claims that the bulb is not dimmable and that there should be caution about radio interference. I purchased a few for some outdoor fixtures I have, but just had to see how they worked indoors. I replaced one bulb on my ceiling fan fixture and found that it is, in fact, dimmable. It flickers as it is being dimmed, but once you reach the desired level, it remains at that setting WITHOUT flickering. I put a clear FM radio station on my receiver in the same room and checked reception with the light off then on; there was no interference. I changed all 4 lights in the fixture and rechecked; still no interference. The 3000 K light color is VERY bright and allows for easy reading. The light is fairly focussed in one direction (downward) but the color of my family room allows scatter that lights up the entire room fairly well. I believe that these bulbs are a very good value. I have only had them for 2 weeks, so I really can't comment on their durability, but if durability is as good as everything else, then I'm sure they'll last as long as advertised on the package.
Pros: Great Dimming, Very Bright, no fm radio interference
Cons: light is unidirectional
Yes, I recommend this product.

I just replaced 17 recessed can halogen bulbs with these LED bulbs...They almost seem brighter than the 65W halogens! I did this project to "seal" up my cans...Replaced with LED, aluminum taped up the can holes, bought "shower lens" trims, caulked up the glass and caulked to the ceiling! These will never get hot and wont need replaced for years! And to the guy who thinks these are not dimmable he is wrong, they dim fine! I did notice a small "buzzing" on one of the bulbs... A+

This is the first LED substitute type bulb I've used, as I've been holding off for the price to get under $10. It did, so I bought one to experiment with. Boy did I feel stupid though, when I'm struggling to get it out of the packaging and dropped it about 4 feet onto a concrete floor. Although it appears to be plastic of some sort, the globe part shattered about like an incandescent bulb does. BUT. There was no mercury spill like a CCF would give you, AND it still works like a champ, without the globe. There are exposed wires, and obviously I would heartily not recommend this as a normal course of action, but it's good to know just how rugged they are. Without the globe it is even more directional, but in the gooseneck lamp I have it in, that's all the better. To me the light does not look yellow/brown at all, it seems very naturally white, and I find it excellent for reading.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I tried the copper recessed led lights and they did not work with the dimmers I already had in my house.
I bought the led dimmers and the cooper led still did not work.
This bulb works,dims,with no buzzing.Works well with all my recessed lighting.I kept all my original dimmers and they dim down to about 10%.26 blubs no problem,no buzz.

I wrote an earlier review. I got 77 "Not Helpful"s
I dropped it before I got to try it.
I really like it. I like the quality and quantity of light it provides. It is fairly bright white and I'd say it seems to give off more light than a 40W incandescent.
It has outlasted about 6 different incandescents in the fixture by my front door. It handles the shock of my teenagers slamming the door very well.
It would be nice to have a published device operating temperature range of operation at room temperature.
Pros: Easy Replacement, Very Bright, Easy Installation, shows color of objects it illuminates at night ver
