Value

Pros:

  • "I mean.. 6 bulbs for this price? how can you go wrong. I love the daylight frequency, makes it feel like there's sunlight hitting the room."
  • "These are great light bulbs….it seems that whenever I had to replace a bulb I didn’t have any. The price is right and I have no complaints."
  • "Omg great value they are a bright white light just so ya know. But 24 for a great price can’t beat it."
  • "Good deal for the money."
  • "These are great bulbs for the money, and they are very bright!"
  • "There are so many for the price you pay. And they are so bright I feel like I am outside."
  • "Great buy for your money. I am ordering more."

Cons:

  • "After these bulbs burned out, we found that the bulbs were only lasting an average of 5840 hours ! This is a far cry from the 10,000 hour claim !!"
  • "Don't buy these and waste your money like I did. Go with GE or a better lighting brand. These are absolute junk."
  • "What a waste it money. I wish I had of read the reviews first. The best bulb is so tiny.I wish I would have returned the product….Don’t buy!"
  • "However, the bulbs are ridiculously loud. For energy efficient LED bulbs they have a noticeable buzzing sound which is very distracting."
  • "In 3 months half went out after 4 months only 6 left they are waste of money."
  • "Waste of money. Every bulb lasts maybe 1000 hours, then turns so dim it's useless."
  • "All of them have burned out now. april of 24 so sad that we are being ripped off! shame!"

Quality

Pros:

  • "These lights are bright white! If you are looking for a warmer color make sure you choose warm or more sunlight looking lights."
  • "These auto dusk to dawn bulbs are great! No need for more expensive dusk to dawn lights they never seem to last long."
  • "It's also worth noting that they arrive very well packaged."
  • "The Daylight 5000K color temperature seems accurate and they are not noticeably blue 6500K LEDs trying to be passed off as '5000K'."
  • "These light bulbs were just as good as the name brand ones for less price. They give off the proper amount of light and and not breakable like glass bulbs. Highly recommend !"
  • "These bulbs work great, no problems."
  • "These bulbs are great! Brighter than I expected."

Cons:

  • "If you don't want to risk your house burning down I highly recommend you avoid buying these."
  • "These lights whine annoyingly. No one likes being in the room when they are on."
  • "This product boasts 10,000 hour lifetime, of the 16 bulbs I bought half didn't make it to 1,000 hours use and half of the remaining bulbs have not made it to 5,000 hours yet."
  • "The daylight bulbs are just like the fluorescent lighting at work, possibly uglier. Yuck."
  • "They tend to overheat and burn out, cracking the housing causing the light to flicker for a little while then just cut out for good."
  • "Tried various bulbs in the lamp. It has decent brightness. After 5-10 minutes, the bulb begins to flicker like a strobe."
  • "If you like a bright fluorescent glare, then these bulbs are for you; don't expect the warm glow of incandescent."

Longevity

Pros:

  • "I've installed a few AmazonBasics bulbs before this and never had one fail yet, so, their brand seems pretty good."
  • "We have used these as a replacement for CFLs that keep dying in our house. These lights come on to full brightness quickly. So far we have not had any burn out."
  • "These have no flicker and seem to last."
  • "After months of these being in there not even one has burnt out."
  • "Still batting 1000 for AmazonBasics products, and for the job of replacing house lights this is DEFINITELY a good solution."
  • "I'm extremely impressed with how long these last...I dont think I will have to buy light bulbs for a very long time, so these are well worth the money."
  • "These bulbs work well in non-living spaces, like garages, attics, basements, closets, laundry rooms, furnace rooms, utility rooms, workshops, and craft rooms (where seeing colors is important)."

Cons:

  • "Started going out after 1 year, and all of them dead in 3 years!"
  • "Replaced 8 bulbs in my kitchen in January of this year. 3 of them have gone out and a 4th is flickering. Not worth wasting money on bulbs that only last 3-4 months."
  • "I wrote the date on the bulbs when I installed them. They lasted about one year."
  • "REVIEW UPDATE:These bulbs don’t last at all. I have already had to replace 3 of them."
  • "Really disappointed in how long these bulbs last."
  • "Good price for bulbs, but quality seems poor. Out of 10 installed, 2 have failed within 2 years."
  • "These were purchased to replace 9.5 watt bulbs rated at 800 lumen. They are substantially less bright than the ones they were meant to replace even though they are rated at 1600 lumen."
