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,

I got these light bulbs last week and decided to put them in over the weekend. I can't believe some of them have already blown out, what a WASTE! Never will I purchase these again.

1.0 out of 5 stars2 bulbs down in a few months.
April 4, 2019
Color: DaylightSize: 24 PackVerified Purchase
I installed 10 of these bulbs. Within 2 days a single bulb went out and started flickering like crazy then shutting off after a couple minutes, swapped it out and no problems since. Now at 4 months of regular use a bulb in a totally different socket has gone out. It started going dim a week ago and is now completely dead.

Before these bulbs I had a generic brand bulb in that lasted over a year before I decided to swap to LEDs. LEDs are supposed to be longer lasting and therefore more cost effective. I would save more money just sticking with standard bulbs. This is ridiculous.

1.0 out of 5 starsThese destroyed the electricity in my house
March 27, 2019
Color: Soft WhiteSize: 24 PackVerified Purchase
How do I give negative stars?
I thought I was doing a good deed by buying LED bulbs. These flickered from day one, but they were in my basement and not used too often. Yesterday I turned on my basement lights and instead of them flickering, the light dropped so low you could hardly tell they were on. I turned off the lights and called my electrician. Eric came over and we went down to the basement. Still low light. Then all of a sudden the lights went so bright you could hardly see. 4 exploded. 4 just burnt out. 4 started to flicker. So far I have lost 1 TV, my AppleTV, and a microwave. The electricity in my kitchen was compromised and several of the basement sockets stopped working. The electricians are here today rewiring the basement lights and checking all the kitchen outlets. Saving the planet is costing me thousands of dollars.... So not worth it. So not cool. Thanks Sylvania. Great Job!

1.0 out of 5 starsWRONG INFORMATION IN TECHNICAL DETAILS
April 29, 2018
Color: Soft WhiteSize: 4 PackVerified Purchase
Wrong information in the TECHNICAL DETAILS which says; Special Features - DIMMABLE
Package says NON-DIMMABLE. Makes me wonder about purchases an Amazon which up till now was pretty straight.

1.0 out of 5 starsNOT DIMMABLE! Otherwise mostly great
January 3, 2019
Color: Soft WhiteSize: 24 PackVerified Purchase
Two problems:

(1) the amazon description clearly states these are dimmable. The fine print on the bulbs clearly states that they are not to be used with dimmers. The bulb is correct, they flicker badly at any dim setting other than 0% or 100%.

(2) there is a fair amount of variation in the color temperature from bulb to bulb. Seems like between about 2500k and 3000k. Not noticeable except in fixtures (such as a bathroom fixture) with several side by side. Not awesome, but not a show-stopper.

Otherwise, build quality is really good, and they DO NOT FLICKER in on-off (i.e., non-dimmable) switches.

Sadly I have to return as i need dimmables.

1.0 out of 5 starsNon Dimmable!
September 20, 2018
Color: Soft WhiteSize: 4 PackVerified Purchase
The features and details section says that these bulbs are dimmable. However, the small print on the box says “non dimmable”. I’m sure they work just fine as non dimmable lights, but they flicker in my dimmable socket.

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.
