Very disappointing, but then again they are less than $4 so you get what you pay for! 😅
Last week they had a similar clearance price at Lowes for the 5000k which is still valid, but ymmv stock for people like me and other slick dealers. 20 pack 65w equivalent and 12 pack 90w equivalent.

Some people prefer the 5000k especially if you have winter depression for they put more blue in the light and it is like noon outdoors on a clear sunny day (sunshine is 5000k to 6500k depending on latitude.) Other people HATE 5000k for it can make people feel anxious and your eyes notice a higher amount of detail like if you are in a bathroom you notice more dirt, grimes, and stains on the sink and bathtubs. I am sharing all this info to explain the options for while I think 5000k is better it is good to know before buying for there are times to use each.
I find that if you have them in an enclosed fixture, they burn out much faster. Any fixture that has the ability for air to move, the bulb lasts many, many years.
For $hits and giggles I have a failed one opened up on my workbench. The LEDs still work but the electronics are shot.
I have other electronics devices that have run continuously for years (clocks for example). Why not these?

Having been into computers and electronics since the 80's, I can state from experience that most of them I've owned that have died died due to leaking capacitors. That includes power supplies/bricks. One would've hoped capacitors would've improved over the decades, but apparently many are still cheaply made by China and are like ticking self destruct mechanisms. I don't know if they might be the cause of early LED bulb deaths. Any electronic is only as good as its weakest link which seems to be capacitors.

Not saying I love incandescents either - I don't like how are so hot. Just saying LEDs are being pitched as more economically and environmentally friendly when I don't think they are.
Anyways, no regrets. They've paid for themselves 5x over in power savings over these 8 years (estimating ~$10/year/bulb in savings) compared to the incandescent bulbs they replaced.

Consider they use 10% of the power, generate a fraction of the heat, and last 10-20 times as long. I bet they over come their manufacturing impact fairly fast.
Expect to save $100-200 per bulb in power costs over its 10-20 year lifespan.
