SYLVANIA Value Light Equivalent Bright Reviews Summary

Product Quality

Pros:

• "They put out good light that's not too bright and work as they should."
• "We replaced every light in the house with these bulbs when we first moved in. Love the color and the brightness!"
• "These bulbs make the colors of the room bright and vibrant, and at the same time, are soft to the eyes."

• "These lights are bright & perfect for somebody like myself who has trouble seeing in dim light."
• "I'm extremely happy with them. Highly recommend."

Cons:

• "There is a link to sylvania support and guess what it doesn’t work."
• "After 13 months of regular use (4-5 hours per day average) the bulbs have begun to flicker and go out."
• "Started going out within 6 months. It has been less than a year now and more than half of them are dead."
• "On top of that, they are very low light."
• "The bulbs don’t last and, worse, they start to flicker weeks before they die."
• "The new pack (came as 3 boxes of 8 vs. 1 box of 24 last time) does not contain the same bulbs."
• "I’ve had to replace ALL of them more than once in the past year! Each bulb in this pack has lasted around 1-2 months before flickering and eventually dying."

Customer Service

Pros:

• "The company has been good about giving me refunds for the first 3, and I just submitted a request for the last one."
• "I was given a refund by amazon because half of the original 24 have already died."
• "I checked the box these came in and it says there is a 3 year warranty."

Cons:

• "The bulbs arrived today and first one out of the package does not work. We're very disappointed. HOW DO WE CONTACT SOMEONE TO GET A REPLACEMENT?????"
• "Amazon has refused to help and their only resolution is to call the manufacturer and manufacturer is not picking up calls."
• "How do I get warranty service on these LED bulbs?"
• "Box says warranty must be serviced by original purchase retail store. Once I contacted Amazon they told me to contact manufacturer. Then I contacted manufacturer and told me warranty must be provided by Amazon. So I've been back and forth. No one wants to fulfill warranty."
• "I have been trying to contact someone in regards to these bulbs."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Great items and energy saver, will BUY AGAIN..."
• "These bulbs are a great value, providing a total lifespan of up to 11,000 hours and saving money on my energy bill."
• "I have replaced nearly all my bulbs in my apartment with these bulbs! Great value for the price."
• "I like these bulbs because they really keep electrical energy down. They do save you money."
• "The price was a good value for a good brand name."
• "24 bulbs for $20 is an incredible price in my own personal opinion."
• "Bright light and good value. Much cheaper per bulb than buying a 4 pack at a retail store."

Cons:

• "IDK if they are better for the environment, considering they go to the landfill just as fast, and it's not like they make a noticeable dent in my electric bill."
• "Part of me feels like for $7 for a 4 pack these aren't really that bad... but I don't want to buy short-lived crap that fails."
• "These bulbs burn out faster than any bulbs I have ever used."
• "These bulbs are bad. Like really bad. They may be cheap, but they are a terrible deal."
• "I bought a large order of 1,600 lumen LED bulbs on Amazon Prime Day, and they turned out to be a COMPLETE scam."
• "These bulbs may be cheap, but having to replace them every month is NOT worth it."
• "The light bulbs don't last anywhere near 10 years as it says on the packaging."

Product Longevity

Pros:

• "They last forever...it seems."
• "So far the longest lasting bulb I had was 2 years."

• "Light bulbs are great, they are bright and clear and last a long time."
• "I just wanted to say that these are wonderful lightbulbs that I love. LOL!! Seriously, though. They are bright, long-lasting, do not get hot to the touch, and offer warmth and brightness at the same time."
• "Very happy overall with purchase. All in use still working."

Cons:

• "Every single bulb now has died. Most died within 2 years."
• "These bulbs are burning out faster than the accompanying lights in the rooms that have not been replaced."
• "I've never had good luck with Sylvania product even before Obama bulbs. Don't waste your money."
• "These are supposed to last decades, not just a few months."
• "I placed all of them throughout my home in November of 2020, and here in December 2021 half of them have gone out."
• "Bought 24 and immediately installed 8. Paid the higher price for LED bulbs because 'they last forever', right? Wrong. 5 of the 8 are dead in well under 6 months."
• "I can think of 6 that have gone out within a year of having them and using normal usage."
