Great Value LED Light Bulb 9W (60W Equivalent) A19 (E26), Soft White

These bulbs are amazing! They are as bright, or brighter as a 60 watt incandescent bulb. The brightness of 2 of these in the bathroom is brighter than 2 incandescent that these replaced. The color temp of this is very similar to a GE soft white which is perfect. They turn on at full brightness. Unlike CFL bulbs that can start dim. They do run cool. I will measure the temps with an infrared gun and update this post. At $2.47/bulb, it is a great value. Time will tell whether they last as long as the 20,000 hours claimed. They are backed by a three year warranty, so keep your receipt JIC.

I originally purchased these bulbs to replace three 60W incandescent bulbs in my ceiling fan, but the light was just too bright for a bedroom. So I bought GV 40W LED soft white bulbs, and they were a perfect match! These 60W equivalent bulbs went into the living room. A much more natural and less harsh lighting than CFL bulbs (that I had to replace every 6 to 8 weeks). I'm so glad Great Value offers this more affordable LED bulb option. I purchased ONE bulb at a big name hardware store for over $15! Now I feel like I'm helping my wallet as well as the environment!

I did NOT want to give up my incandescent light bulbs and refused to do so for years. I did not like the fact that most of the energy saving bulbs were loaded with mercury and were very expensive. But the incandescent bulbs I had purchased last year were not lasting more than 6 to 8 weeks. So it was time to start looking for something that as both safe and inexpensive. When I found these LED bulbs at such a good price I was skeptical so I only purchased two of them. I was astounded. They put out as much, if not a little more, light than my 60 watt incandescent bulbs! I purchased the soft white bulbs. They also come in a "daylight" 60 watt, which is probably even brighter than the soft white. So I've now replaced almost every light bulb in my home and am very pleased. I'm not expecting them to last the 10 years as advertised, but if they last 5 years I'll be happy. For those of you who don't want to give up those incandescent bulbs, I highly recommend buying one of these and giving it a try. I think you'll be very happy that you did.

Bought four of these a couple months ago and have had no big issue. They made a popping noise for the first few weeks but it stopped. Guess the heat sink was adjusting.

A great affordable bulb. I've had one running 24-7 for 6 months with no issues. Pleasant white light.
