I decided to try out LED bulbs for a few various reasons. I was hoping LED bulbs would work better for outdoor use and generate less heat when used in doors. I am fully satisfied with these bulbs. They accomplished what I ordered them for. My porch light no longer needs to warm up to get to full brightness. The old CFL bulb I was using always needed to in cold weather. Being rather dim for awhile after it was turned on. The moment this bulb is turned on it puts out a bright light that covers a wide radius. It also produces so little heat that I was able to touch anywhere on the bulb without getting burned (thinking things through was never my strong suit). Which should help vastly when summer hits. This house has enough issues keeping cool as it is. The light was still soft enough that I don't feel nearly as uncomfortable looking at it, and can look in its general direction with few issues. Unlike other high lumen bulbs I have tried in the past.
They are markedly more expensive then CFLs. Being just about twice what I remember those bulbs to cost. I have yet to see if they will last long enough. The fact they perform so well though I think the price would be justified even if they didn't last as long. I will update this review if they don't last the few years I have come to expect from light bulbs.
The retail packaging was amazing as well. It fit the bulb so well and was so thoroughly constructed I doubt the bulb would have broke under even the lousiest shipping conditions. I don't think tanks are built to stand up to the sort of stresses those cardboard boxes look like they can withstand. I am currently using most the bulbs that I ordered and they all are working flawlessly. I forgot how fragile light bulbs could be when I ordered these. They all arrived in mint condition though. They don't look fragile. I have yet to break one (which I do fairly often. that is how a good portion of my bulbs eventually break.) Again, I will update my review if I run into any issues with them.
Sorry that this review seemed to have a lot of review of LED bulbs in it. This is my first LED light bulb. Not for sure if this bulb is superior to others of its type. It has proven superior to all the other light bulbs I have ever bought so far though. Which is all I have to go by as of yet.
