5.0 out of 5 starsGreat deal for the Money!
July 25, 2018
Great deal for the Money! I replaced all my curly florescent type blubs and Halogen type with these and wow they look awesome.

Pros:
- Bright! Maybe even brighter than a normal 60 W bulb (in my opinion)
- You cannot tell these are LEDs the light looks the same "warmth" as a normal 60 W bulb
- 10 to 22-year life, I am not sure if they will actually last this long but we'll see.
- The box claims 82% less energy than halogen bulbs, again we'll see.
- Only slightly warm to the touch even after being on for hours. No fear of the little ones burning themselves touching the lamplight.
- Plastic so if you drop they won't shatter into sharp glass fragments.
- Put this in my outdoor porch light and I swear it attracts fewer bugs than the normal 60 W bulb but my result is very unscientific as it could be temperature, rain or other factors causing a decrease in bugs.

Cons:
- They don't work well with a dimmer switch, but this is made clear in the ad. I will say it kind of works for a small range then it starts wildly flickering which is not good for the bulb or your eyes. If you have a dimmer you need to keep it on full (which kind of defeats the reason for the dimmer)
- The porcelain base most of the time stays hidden away but, on some lamps and ceiling fans, it is clearly visible. I much prefer that look to the curly lights.

1.0 out of 5 starsFake Bulbs not Sylvania 24 pack
February 23, 2018
the box is Sylvania but the bulbs don't have the logo of Sylvania printed I think that the bulbs are fake imitations inside a box of Sylvania

Please be advised that all of our light bulbs will have the Sylvania logo printed on the bulb or base.

Thank you,

2.0 out of 5 starsListing Description does not match product
December 30, 2018
Color: Soft WhiteSize: 12 PackVerified Purchase
I purchased a 12 pack of these Sylvania 60 LED equivalent bulbs. There are listed on Amazon as a brightness of 800 Lumnes, which was important to me as I replace traditional light bulbs around the house. I trusted the Sylvania brand name as opposed to the competition no-name products that advertised the same 800 Lumens.
Per the listing:
- "this value pack comes with 12 bulbs, each with 800 lumens of light output at only 8.5 watts. "
- "it lights up instantly with a full 800 lumens of brightness "

Upon receipt of the order, the box says 750 Lumens, NOT 800 as listed in the description on Amazon. The individual bulbs also say 750 lumens, not 800.
There was another mistake in the listing in that the box & the individual bulbs say uses 8 watts, while the Amazon listing says 8.5 watts. This different in wattage was not a big issue for me, although the listing should state it correctly, but the Lumens difference does bother us.

I would never have purchased the bulbs had they correctly listed the lumens as 750, and not incorrectly as 800Lumens. I'm very disappointed in Sylvania for this misrepresentation. I expected more from a reputable name brand company that has been around for many, many years. Hopefully this was just a mistake with this product & the listings on their other products are correct.

1.0 out of 5 starsBeware - these are NOT dimmable bulbs despite what the tech specs say
June 12, 2019
Color: Soft WhiteSize: 4 PackVerified Purchase
I was disappointed to receive these bulbs today and read on the box that the bulbs are NOT dimmable, despite what the technical specifications say. They were not "counterfeit" as some reviewers had experienced, they are indeed Sylvania which is clearly marked at the base of the bulb, along with the fact they are made in China. The actual rounded bulb above the porcelain base is made of some sort of plastic where normally glass would be. Going to return them.

1.0 out of 5 starsInaccurate description - NON DIMMABLE
January 20, 2019
Color: Soft WhiteSize: 4 PackVerified Purchase
Inaccurate description. Was looking specifically for dimmable bulbs. Description states the bulbs are dimmable but they are not. Buyer beware. There is also a lot of reviews talking about cheap imitations packaged in Sylvania box trying to pass them off as genuine.

1.0 out of 5 starsSeem fake
March 9, 2019
Color: Soft WhiteSize: 24 PackVerified Purchase
Mine have the Syvania print on them but their color temperature doesn't match any of my other 2700k bulbs. These bulbs seem to be 3000k bulbs not 2700k as stated on the box.

These are likely fake i compared them to philips 2700 kalvin and other cheap chinese 2700k bulbs, and these are 3000 kalvin

1.0 out of 5 starsBad Quality Light Bulbs

Put five of these light bulbs in around the house, within a month two stopped working already even though LEDs are supposed to last forever. Would not recommend.

1.0 out of 5 starsLow power use and instant on! But they started to flicker after 2 months!!
October 25, 2019
Color: Soft WhiteSize: 24 PackVerified Purchase
I ordered these 60watt equivalent led bulbs to replace all my cfl bulbs in the house. These bulbs only use 8.5watts which is even less then the cfl bulbs. I think these are slightly brighter than the cfls and come on instantly versus a warm up on the cfl bulbs. The cfl looks as it gets dimmer as time goes on and they do not like the cold. These leds don’t have that problem.

update 11/28/19: I agree with other guy these are not high quality Slyvania. I have had these in a lamp that holds four and the matching lamp also. So it’s been a couple months and these lamps are hardly used and they all are flickering now. These are out of return window now so I have to throw out but slyvania should have a warranty longer than a month. I don’t think they will help but I can try. I am disappointed I changed all these bulbs and they are crap. I am changing my rating from five star.

Update: I checked the box these came in and it says there is a 3 year warranty, but it also says you have to bring it back to the store where you bought them. I have run into this before with Honeywell, they insist you return where you bought it. The thing is there is a month return window at amazon. There is a link to sylvania support and guess what it doesn’t work. I will have to search them out and get these bulbs back to them and see what happens.

1.0 out of 5 starsWaste of money. Not real sylvanias
September 17, 2019
Color: Soft WhiteSize: 24 PackVerified Purchase
Have had these bulbs for 6 months and they are extremely dim now and flicker. Have to replace every single one. They are so dim the room looks dark and the flickering is scary. When you shut off the lights they don’t go out completely the glow slowly shuts off.

1.0 out of 5 starsNOT dimmable as advertised in my search.

I ordered specifically after searching for dimmable bulbs. Received the bulbs and it says on the package that bulbs are NOT dimmable. Not worth sending back.

1.0 out of 5 starsDon't purchase unless you want ornaments or flickering lights!
May 22, 2019
Color: Soft WhiteSize: 24 PackVerified Purchase
I used these light bulbs throughout my house. I regret not buying either locally or from a different company completely. The lights flicker and will cause you to want to have an electrician out to your house the next business day.
I was under the impression that these would be brighter also. Nope, their super dim and if your lady need light while putting on make up.... She'll have a better quality light using her phone's light. 30$ regret. I guess i could use the rest of the bulbs for ornaments.

2.0 out of 5 starsThese don't last nearly as long as they should
December 5, 2019
Color: DaylightSize: 24 PackVerified Purchase
The light bulbs don't last anywhere near 10 years as it says on the packaging. I bought these at the end of December, 2018. So, the ones that have been going the longest in our house aren't even 1 year yet. I just went through the house and replaced a bunch of burnt out lights this week and I was surprised by how many of them were these bulbs. It isn't worth getting a more expensive bulb when it doesn't last any longer. Some of the light fixtures are the standard dome lights that take two bulbs. Inside a couple of those were these LEDs that I replaced, and sitting next to them were an old CFL bulb. So, it isn't just a matter of the light being on all the time. I haven't used a CFL bulb in a long time, so those have been running since before putting in the first LED and they are still going strong.

I do like how bright the lights are, at least for a 60W replacement. The day light color is nice. I did put them in spot that usually takes a 110W bulb and it wasn't very bright, but that is to be expected.

Overall I'm not impressed with how long the bulbs last. If you say 10 years, and you can't even last 1 that is pretty sad.
