Never Miss a Deal.

Pros: Good customer support, at first.

Cons: Fails after a few hundred hours. Inconsistent color temperatures. After repeated failures, customer support was reluctant to replace bulbs.

These bulbs are junk. Expect to replace them every 4 to 8 months. You will only get a few hundred hours out of them. I started out with 6 bulbs on the original order. With replacements, I have probably gone through 15 bulbs total in 15 months. Two more bulbs failed today. Monoprice replaced the faulty bulbs with little trouble at first. Now, they really make it difficult. Do yourself a favor, and buy well known brands from local retailers.

Pros: Cheap cost. Energy saver.

Cons: Didn't last long as advertised. Died after one year of use.

Very disappointed with this product. After a little over one year of use, this bulb dies. Aren't they supposed to last for approximately 20 years? I can tell you for certain that the lamp that this bulb was installed on was seldom used. Have others had similar experiences with this product?

My recommendation. DON'T PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT. CHEAP PRICE=CHEAP QUALITY.

Pros: bright
efficient
instant on

Cons: still too white

Trying to transition away from the remaining incandescents/fluorescents in the house. This one is almost, but not quite the color temp I was looking forstill a little too white. Otherwise, better than the fluorescents due to instant on, and due to round shape can be used with shades that attach to the bulb.

Pros: - Price is one of the lowest I've seen

- Efficient ( uses only 8 watts )

Cons: - Slight delay when turned on

- Quality control issues : Feels cheaply made and bulb malfunctioned after 6 months of use.

I'm always on the look out for the next good value in LED bulbs. Things I look for are: competitive price, CRI score of 80+, 2700k-3000k color, 270 degree + coverage, 600+ lumen brightness, reliable, and instant on capability. Basically, most of the properties of an incandescent, but with the long term life of a LED. As mentioned in the pros and cons, it was able to satisfy some of these requirements but the most important of those being reliability was not therefore I will stick to my favorite brand at this time. Still may check back occasionally to see if they come out with anything new.

Pros: LED power savings.
Good price point.

Cons: LED bulb is just a little longer than standard bulbs which if placed in a fixture along side existing standard bulbs may look a little odd. It really isn't more than say 3/8". So unless length of bulb is crucial to your fixture, this should work fine.

If you are shopping LED bulbs and wondering about the lumens, this warm/soft is comparable with a typical 40W soft/white bulb.
