Very bright white

February 3, 2018

Good solid LED bulb. Construction is first rate. The only issue I have is my fault. I didn't notice that I'd ordered the "daylight" type. They are really bright white. IMO too bright for use in anything that doesn't have a shade like a ceiling fan with open bulbs. If you need very bright light in an area these will get the job done. Don't get me wrong these are great bulbs but realize that they ARE a very bright white color.

In the picture you can see the Amazon bulb in the middle section of my kitchen light compared to the two "warm white" on the ends.

I was initially very happy with these lights

October 13, 2017

I was initially very happy with these lights. They are nice and bright. But in less than a week they have begun to burn out!!! So disappointed. A lot of money to spend and they only last a few days. I would NOT recommend these.

Gigantic compared to other brands but work the same.

Style: 100 wattsColor: Soft WhiteSize: 6 PackVerified Purchase

I've used a couple of other brands like Phillips and Twinn and I can say without a doubt, the Amazon basics are the largest led bulb I've come across. They function identically to the other brands they are just physically bigger. In the picture I arrached the amazon bulb is on the left and a Twinn bulb is on the right.
These bulbs will not fit in some of the fixtures around the house while the other brands will. If size is a concern, you may want to look into the other brands. If you don't need to worry about the size then these bulbs should work fine.

These are absolutely TERRIBLE!

Style: 75 wattsColor: Soft WhiteSize: 16 PackVerified Purchase

These are absolutely TERRIBLE! I ordered the 16-pack. So far 4 of them have failed and it's only been two weeks. These are all in different light fixtures through-out the house. Non of which are installed with dimming switches. Amazon should keep their name off products that are this poor of quality.

Waste of money. 2 of the 6 bulbs burned out within a few days.

Waste of money. 2 of the 6 bulbs burned out within days. If they were more reliable, I'd be able to give a much better review, since I think the price is reasonable and I like the color. But a 33% defect rate within a few days is unacceptable.

Very nice bulbs if you like the color.

Style: 60 wattsColor: Soft WhiteSize: 6 PackVerified Purchase

First time trying LED bulbs. I put these in a 4 light ceiling fan in the living room. I was a little worried at first that LEDs would be too directional but that's not an issue, living room lights up great. I ordered soft white cause I was concerned the Daylight would be too blue for me, but these are a little too much on the yellow side compared to the CFL Bright White bulbs I had in previously. Two hours later and bulbs are just warm to the touch. I just ordered more of these same bulbs in the Daylight to see which I like best. I think I'm going to convert all bulbs in the house to LED now.

Edit: Just got the 100 watt bulbs Here is where they can be improved. The only color options for these bulbs (both 60 watt and 100 watt) is either Soft White and Daylight. There needs to be one in the middle, a Bright White. For me the 60 watts bulbs I got in Soft White were too much on the yellow side. The 100 watt bulbs I got were Daylight and they are too much on the blue side for me. It's either 2700 K or 5000 K. There needs to be one in the 3500-4000 K range, which is perfect light for me. I just ordered some 60 watt bulbs from Amazon (different brand) in 4000 K. I hope these will be just right.

Terrible waste of money for a very straightforward item

November 3, 2017

Style: 60 wattsColor: Soft WhiteSize: 6 PackVerified Purchase

3 of the 6 lightbulbs burned out the first few days of installing them into a light fixture. The fixtures generally take up to a 100w bulb, so not sure what happened. I ended up replacing them with a brand-name bulb, and those are still going strong. I don't plan to buy these again. Terrible waste of money for a very straightforward item.

LED's are now ready for prime time, great bulbs..

December 24, 2017

Style: 75 wattsColor: Soft WhiteSize: 2 PackVerified Purchase

I tried LED bulbs several years ago but was disappointed by the harshness of the light. I tried four indoor/outdoor floods for use inside and two standard desk/floor bulbs. I put them away and went back to incandescents. Fast forward to several weeks ago when I purchased these and the 60 watt version, both non-dimmables and soft white.

Very pleasantly surprised by the 60 and 75 watt soft whites. I wound up replacing just about every bulb in the house, indoors and outdoors. I also purchased indoor/outdoor floods, three E12 candelabra bulbs, 6 globe-type bulbs in a bathroom and am about to retrofit two ceiling fan light kits from halogen to led.

The technology seems ready for prime time now. Soft natural light, much less energy consumption and no sacrifice in brightness. No flickering, no hum or any other downside.

When I say LED's are more energy efficient, I'm basing this on published info but also the heat incandescents and halogens generate vs LED's. Using an IR thermometer, my indoor incandescent floods check about 185-190 degrees from about 4 feet. The LED equivalent about 90 degrees. In both cases, the temps might be 5%(?) higher than they would otherwise given that they are at a high point in the ceiling where heat collects from the hvac system.

The halogen bulbs in two ceiling fans checked about 195 degrees when measured on the external globe, not the bulb. They could be running at more than 200 degrees.

Time will tell if the projected life span of LED's is as advertised. If so, they're very likely to outlive me. Before buying, I'd recommend buying test samples from a brick and mortar store where they have a test display. There are different light types, dimmables vs non-dimmables and energy consumption rates. You'll get a feel for the light type and brightness of the bulbs. I prefer my local Home Depot (no affiliation with HD) due to it's customer usable display and wide variety of brands and bulbs. In addition, HD's prices are about the same as Amazon's.

Burned out in less than 3 months.

February 26, 2018

Style: 100 wattsColor: DaylightSize: 6 PackVerified Purchase

2 of the bulbs have burned out less than 3 months of purchase.
No over use of them; just daily on/off in a kid-free household stairway.

They were bright and worked well, but very disappointed that they lasted maybe 200 hours.

Huge bulb doesn't fit light fixtures

September 15, 2018

Style: 100 wattsColor: DaylightSize: 6 PackVerified Purchase

This bulb cannot be used as a replacement for regular incandescent bulbs: it's huge and doesn't fit where a regular light bulb would fit. I didn't see it mentioned anywhere in the description. I have other LED light bulbs from a different brand which have exactly the same size as regular bulbs, so it's not clear to my why an AmazonBasics LED bulb had to be manufactured in a non-standard size. At least they should make it very clear and prominent in product description - "THIS IS A HUGE NON-STANDARD BULB THAT WON'T FIT LIGHT FIXTURES".
