I was able to add the 5000k to my cart. Try clicking "see other options" for that selection. There should be shipped by Amazon and sold by sansi option

Another factor to consider is the kelvin on these bulbs. Don't mix them or else your lighting looks weird. At a lower lumen output it isn't as noticeable. But with these, it starts to look funky and annoying

I thought most manufacturers moved away from these downward-firing designs to an omnidirectional designs? You usually find these older design bulbs during the early days when LED bulbs generated so much heat that they needed the "base" to be a literal heatsink/radiator where they have fins to help dissipate the waste heat. I know this one claims it is "hollow" and allows for effective heat dissipation - but the more heat it generates, the less efficient they are... so you'd think if these generated so much heat that it needed a bulb design specifically to dissipate heat, it probably isn't very efficient; since other makes of 100W equivalent LED bulbs can already make use of omnidirectional enclosed bulb designs - such as this one https://www.homedepot.com/p/EcoSm.../318065718

Does anyone have experience on longevity with this brand?

I bought eight bulbs from this brand on Amazon in May of last year. Two bulbs have already failed. I did contact their customer service and both bubs were replaced. I sent them pics and video of the failure. The replacements arrived in less than a week.

They do not last very long. I bought a pack of these about 2yrs ago & put up 4 on a high ceiling. They started failing within a month of each other. Funny thing when I went to replace them, as I unscrewed them they started blinking & turning back on. So I left them alone but they started failing again a few days later. I replaced all 4 with a different brand because they were in a hard to reach area & I didn't want to keep having to replace again & again.

These started failing after a few yrs. Had them in a high ceiling that required a 14 foot ladder + telescopic bulb replacement rod gadget so when 2 of 4 started failing, I decided to replace them all at the same time with another brand because I dreaded thinking about having to setup the ladder & rod again in a couple of months. Better off getting a good brand, set it & forget it.

As I'm looking through my outer history, it was 10 years ago not 20, they were expensive at 38.99 each for 35 w, but they were the best that I could find.

And here I bought $1-2 light bulbs at the time. Each one lasted me roughly 3-4 years. So let's round up aggressively from that and say it cost me $10 for a decade of bulbs.

How long did those $38.99 (in 2015 dollars) bulbs last you?

That might be just in your area.. not on their website so it's not nationally stocked and I've never seen 100 watt equivalents at any stores by me

I've seen them in all of the local stores in Idaho, but sometimes they're sold out. They also have a single 3 way that's like 50, 75, 100w. They're rated for 15k hours, so same or better than whatever the cheapest are at Walmart. The color temp is also consistent. I have five bulbs on the driveway, two Lifx, one GE and two dollar tree... I can't tell which is which now that I've forgotten.

These SANSI bulbs are very spotlighty, I bought a couple years ago and returned them ASAP. More trash posted by staff.

5 years on average for 35w version (that's when part of light doesn't work) at 6 hours a day. For my floor lights that sees about 2 hour maybe 5 days a week, I have yet to replace any. I have about 40 of their lights installed. I also have their 18 watt version and they have yet to fail.
I don't think you would come up ahead in savings, but they are the only brand that I can find delivers true 35w, 4000 lumen per light. so in that sense those are priceless for me

I'm not sure about the other points you mentioned, but regarding heat, almost all affordable led bulbs in this shape are running too hot. It's the main reason for led failures. Expensive bulb designs ($10-$20/bulb) typically have metal housing and heat sinks which allow them to dissipate heat properly.

I've had a few Sansi bulbs in the past, the smaller A15 size bulb, and they're just okay at best. 2 out of 6 started to flicker badly after a year and I ended up replacing them with another brand, but the other ones are still working fine after nearly 3 years. Not sure they're worth getting these days.

At this price you might as well go to Costco in-store. They have the Feit 4-pack 100W / 1600 Lumen bulbs that are dimmable and color adjustable for $11.99. They use more power at 17.5W but they're easy to replace should any issue arise thanks to Costco easy return policy.
