However, abstained from buying as the specifications state 1270 lumens.
Deceptive as 100w equivalent should output 1600 lumens....... this is more like 80w equivalent
Other bulbs can deliver the full 1600 lumens at the same 13w; meaning that these are not the most efficient LED.
Also noted that the 60w equivalent delivers 620 lumens; lower than the expected 800 lumens.
Good luck!

With the Home Depot Cree-branded lamps (made by Ideal) you simply called a toll free number and replacement lamps were shipped at no charge.
Good luck!

doing math:
cfl: 900/14 = 64 lumens per watt
led: 620/8.5 = 73 lumens per watt
so this modern LED is slightly more efficient than my 5+ yr old CFL's sitting in my closet.
but with 1/3 fewer lumens, it gonna to light up like a 40w
These are functionally mislabeled as 60W equivalent. Great Value / Wal-Mart has a comparable mutilpacks priced higher but rated for 750 lumens and/or 800 lumens at 9 watts. These would be considered proper 60W equivalents (different options are available depending upon your area). The lower rating for 60W equivalence really only applies for candelabra base - E12 -lamps for which 60W equivalents are indeed in the 500-600 lumen range.
Good luck!

Otherwise, good lamps will typically at least offset some of the features mentioned above while delivering well on at least one (high efficiency, but low CRI or high CRI but reduced efficiency are just two examples).
Good luck!

None of them are as efficient as some of the name brands, but what do you expect for a discount brand at half the price?
14w/1500lm - https://www.walmart.com/ip/Great-...k/53017078
17.5w/1650lm - https://www.walmart.com/ip/Great-.../361038148
Seems like the 14w are the most efficient.

My local Dollar Tree (which happens to be right next door to the Wal-Mart) has a Sunbeam 4-pack for $1.25.
The specs listed on the box for the Sunbeam-branded bulbs:
By all measures, the Sunbeam's a better bulb: longer rated life, better lumen/watt ratio, dimmable (says so on the box, but I didn't have any dimmable lamps to test with), and for a few cents less per bulb.
Oh, and the box also says, "suitable for enclosed fixtures" and "suitable for damp locations".
