You probably should have read my post. A little regulation from California and like magic, better bulbs are here.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09DX6FH3M/?th=1

These are listed as <92 cri on the Sylvania site. CEC is above 90 always. They use 8.5w for 800 lumens so 15% less energy than this unregulated GE bulb. Spinning that as insignificant is odd. Better quality light, AND 15% less energy is good.

Cost is $1.60, which is only going to come down now that these are mandated in new projects and CA stores. Still historically VERY cheap for an efficient, high CRI, long lasting, and dimmable light source.

Quote from babygdav :
10w. Decent but not the most efficient. 8w~ typical nowadays. But only meaningfully if you don't have home solar or power generation - who cares what wattage a bulb uses with free solar energy?

LED bulbs typically have very poor color rendition (cri from 0 crappy to 100 perfect). Most under 90 cri, so colors look terrible and inaccurate. If you're an interior designer, matching paint, checking makeup, painting, etc, it'll cause you color anxiety to no end.
...

You can find very high cri led bulbs, but there's goes all your savings from lower energy use....

I have the same problem, only GE bulbs. They fail within months. No other brand does this for me, only GE. It feels like they build them to fail after a short period
I stick with Philips bulbs. You get what you pay for with these. No way GE bulbs go anywhere near 13yrs lifespan that's advertised. Pass on GE bulbs for me.

Quote from DoobieBrother :
I write the date installed with a sharpie on all bulb replacements since cfl days. I have never found any of these "green" bulbs to last as long as advertized, not even close. I prefer the LED over cfl because you can just trash them when they fail. There were some Target deals on the LED bulbs in the early days, and some even better Walmart deals a few years later that were local electric company subsudised for $1per 4 pack.. I can honestly say none of them have lasted longer than the incandecent bulbs we had at the turn of the century, but I will submit that the lower cost to operate has been a good deal.. I just whish they lasted as long as they said on the packaging..

A led bulb is prone to fail if you use them in closed fixtures. If you use them in something that the base of the bulb is on the bottom they will last longer. You would think the 10 watts they use would not produce enough heat to bother them, but you would be wrong.. More care should be used in choosing where they are going to be used. Bottom down and not in a inclosed fixture is the best for LED. CFL (if you still have them) are not nearly as finicky.. Incandecent (I bought a closet full of 100w incandecents before CFL days) are still the best for some legacy fixtures where you you cant get enough cooling ...

If you want to take advantage of the efficentcy of LED lights, buy a LED fixture (lights built in to the fixture), rather than trying to make a LED work in the old legacy fixtures IMHO... A table lamp is perfectly fine for a LED, but the basement cealing lights that bulbs screw in upside down seem to fail faster in my observations.. The heat needs to be dissapated away from the base. It is not that the LEDs fail it is the power supplys in the base of the bulb that fails. They over heat and that kills the power supply.
Nope, had to replace the front porch light a second time because the led was not replaceable. Also had an issue with ceiling fan led, again, not replaceable with a standard bulb, had to contact the manufacturer. What did I learn? Don't buy fixtures with built in LEDs that you can't replace easily

These have been on and off for this price a for a couple years. I've bought a ton but not a huge fan of 2700K anymore. For this price it's worth upgrading your parents house too.

I picked up a case of these bulbs awhile back when they were on clearance for 25ยข/pack. They have a high failure rate (maybe 20% based on my experience) but the ones that do work are good with a nice pleasing tint. Still a decent price but count on getting some duds

These are $3.82 at every single Walmart around me.

What determines if an item at Walmart goes on clearance, at every store in my city almost every item on brickseek has been regular price but if I go to the surrounding Walmarts outside of the city about 10 miles away in every direction I have found every item posted on Brickseek for the stated price what gives.

Oh ok. Yeah I'd check a thrift store or like someone else said a habitat for humanity restore. I've seen some recently at my local thrift stores.

Huh!??
Those are basic Sylvania light bulbs.
Consumer grade.
Hardly anything to get excited about.

The CEC only did 3 things in general.
1. Lower the standby power usage to a set standard.
2. Increase lumens per watt.
3. Toe the very basic ANSI standard for led light bulb consistency. (https://www.docs.colorkinetics.co...erview.pdf)

The very broad 4-point quadrangle range these bulbs can sit in means they can vary quite a bit in color temperature alone from bulb to bulb.

Simply, it allows a 7-step variation whereas 2, step or below is necessary for imperceptible color temperature variation between bulbs.

These Sylvania bulbs aren't going to do any graphic designer / photographer / etc any good.

Instead, you'll need a true High cri light bulb.
92 for the sylvania is not high (any Asian would tell you that's an A-, not an A, not even an A+). Not even the Cree 90 cri at home depot for the longest time qualifies.

Typically, you'd need cri 97+ such as these cri 99 led bulbs to get beautiful color rendition in homes under led bulbs.

LED bulbs could fail quicker if installed in a light fixture that does not allow it to cool properly. There are electronics in these bulbs that can overheat unlike other types of bulbs.
Please explain? How do you know what kind of fixture would allow for proper cooling?

Here's a short article: https://blog.1000bulbs.com/home/w...the%20bulb.

Basically you don't want to put them in enclosed light fixtures that don't have ventilation. Well I mean it's fine to do it just shortens the lifespan of the bulb.

I just visited the Walmart in Bowie, MD where they have a large number of these on an endcap at $0.25 per box of 4. If you go to the bulb isle they are sold out, but the endcap of that same isle has a bunch.

These are waaaay too dim unless you are using two or three in one fixture. Buy 100 watt equivalents if you can!
