Nice catch, saved me from a terrible purchase!

Daylight color temperature

I'm in the lighting business and sell tons of led bulbs. Important note that these 6000k "daylight" bulbs are the least popular /most returned. They give your room the ambiance of a morgue. Very icy and harsh. That's exactly why they're so cheap - I'm sure they're hard to sell, and a popular return. Beware.

Why are 4000k so hard to find?!? It seems the choices are 5000k morgue or 2700k nicotine candle. Frustrating.

Agreed. When we built our house we ended up needing a variety of bulb sizes for different fixtures and finding the correct size and color temperature bulb is a huge PITA.

Quote from sdeb123 :
Just an FYI, at 500 lumens these are more like 40W equivalent light bulbs.
To be fair, in the candelabra size/shape 500 lumens is indeed considered the 60W equivalent. This is in contrast to a full size A lamp shape, where the 60W equivalent should be producing 800 lumens.

Good luck!

These are only 5000K, not the even "cooler" 6000K (which has become increasingly rare, with GE largely carrying the banner in their cool daylight series at Lowe's, for example). Neither is great for me, but just as often you might find an older person who's sensitivity to blue has been reduced who finds a cooler light "bright" rather than "harsh" (which is to say there's definitely an element of personal preference). Also, in some outdoor applications a cooler light source can be more visually appealing than a warm source.

Good luck!
Jon

Quote from RacinReaver :
If it can't be sold in CA they're probably pretty crappy bulbs.
  1. A requirement that bulbs have either an efficacy greater than or equal to 80 lumens per watt or a color rendering index + Efficiency score of at least 165 with a minimum efficiency of at least 70 lumens per watt.
  2. A minimum lifetime of 25,000 hours for each product. LED bulbs are the only products that meet this lifetime standard. The adoption is expected to cause a transition to LEDs from less efficient technologies.
  3. A requirement for omnidirectional bulbs to produce a light distribution pattern that aligns with requirements adopted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) ENERGY STARยฎ program for bulbs.
  4. A minimum lifetime requirement of 10,000 hours, equivalent to a ten year life in a typical home.
  5. Limitations on how distorted a particular color appears under the bulbs.
  6. A requirement of manufacturers to meet minimum performance thresholds before making claims about dimmability or other qualities.
  7. A limit to the amount of power a connected LED can use in standby mode.
The biggest factor here has typically been the improved color rendering requirements California has instituted. Notably, an LED source can still render some colors poorly despite a high overall CRI. However, inexpensive commodity LED lights were the biggest victims of recent California regulations (and you are probably getting a marginally better source as a result, though this does naturally also drive up prices slightly 8n some categories).

Good luck!

That color temperature is often known commercially as Bright White and is quite common. However, lamp sizes also determine color and brightness availability. The common A-shape lamp (such as the A19) can easily be found in most every color and brightness options between even just the two big box stores (Home Depot & Lowe's). Those choices get restricted as you start shopping the specialty sizes and shapes, such as candelabra base, candle shape lamps likes the inner in this deal.

Good luck!

What do you call the one with only 3 rows of screw area at the base with a thickness that's a little thicker than AAA but thinner than AA battery. Driving me crazy I can't find LEDs for that.

E12 like the one in this deal are 12mm. Another size in this range that was common-but-rare is the larger E17. Pretty common on IKEA lamps back in the day, as well as some of the more frustrating ceiling fan light kits. Fortunately it was trivial to find adapters which could take E17 down to E12.

However, you seem to be describing something even smaller like E11 (11mm across) which was typically used for super compact, high output halogen lamps. The few replacements I've seen are such a compromise (expensive, potentially unreliable, and still not necessarily reproducing the brightness of the original incandescent source) that they're worth replacing the associated fixture.

Good luck!

Very frustrating, I found some at Home Depot for $10 each but I am not sure if they are same, here are pics for reference (existing lamps) https://imgur.com/a/LhXeJIf
Could it be these, then? https://www.homedepot.com/p/Feit-.../310903926

Your pictures are a dead ringer for the E11 base with ruler reference on the Home Depot site. Personally, I've never seen an E11 mini candelabra in an A shape. And those replacements come at $10 each. Care to comment on the fixture from which this came?

Assuming you can confirm that these are indeed E11 lamps, you may be best served by carefully finding an E11 to E12 adapter (adapters of obscure shapes can be sold by some pretty suspect brands) and purchase some commodity E12 lamps [homedepot.com].

Good luck!

Hi Jon,
These are from ceiling fan, I updated the gallery to include pictures.

It's odd, Lowes sells these but they later changed to bigger sockets I guess.
It's super dim even with 3 of these, I just want it brighter, but keeping the sub 3000 temp for warm enviornment.
