CRLight 6W Dimmable LED Candelabra Bulb 65W Equivalent 700LM, 6 LED Filament Real 6W LED Chandelier Light Bulbs, 2700K Warm White E12 Base, B11 Candle Torpedo Clear Glass Decorative Bulb, 8 Pack

It's baffling why bulb manufacturers can't seem to nail down the process to construct a fully functional LED candelabra base bulb. A few years ago I ordered a different set of CR Light Bulbs with good success. The color temperature was "just right" and the lumens were impressive considering the low wattage consumption. One of the bulbs recently failed after only 2 years. One of the "supposed" advantages with LED's is they are "supposed" to LAST MUCH LONGER than an incandescent bulb. While the LED's themselves likely last 7-10 years, it's the circuitry inside that tends to overheat and fail.When I purchased this new line of CR Light Bulbs they didn't function quite as well as the original model a few years back. I was happy to see they are now providing a protective clear gel coating over the small metal ring toward the base of the bulb. It could be very dangerous if a person was to unscrew the bulb while the power is on and their fingers touch the metal connection ring while it's in the socket! Normal incandescent bulbs only have glass. The surface area is safer on the incandescent bulbs because it wraps all the way around the bulb until it meets the screw threads. Pretty much EVERY brand of LEDs have a metal clip that binds the glass to the screw thread - which is unsafe because it's a little higher up and easily reachable if one isn't careful how far deep they place their fingers to unscrew the bulbs. Hopefully people have the wisdom to turn the power off before replacing a bulb, but I imagine a person in a hurry may not feel concerned unscrewing a burned out bulb because the temperature wouldn't be hot to the touch. Many Chinese manufacturers are now shipping these bulbs with a gel coating round this metal base clip which helps... although (with speedy production) I have seen bulbs with the coating missing or not fully covering some areas on the metal clip.That being said...I discovered a *WONDERFUL* alternative to these LED incandescent bulbs!! The alternative involves driving down to your local hardware store and purchasing a 40 watt incandescent bulb!!!! The bulbs are cheaper than the LED counterparts. They turn on FLAWLESSLY. They dim FLAWLESSLY. They are the PERFECT color temperature. And they last about as long as the LED bulbs (in some cases they last longer). Yeah, they do consume a little more power which may add another $0.20 per bulb to your monthly electric bill but I would much rather deal with that then the constant headaches these candelabras have. The LED's (when they work) also generate much less heat. The LED's are also vibration resistant so (in theory) should be the perfect alternative for ceiling fans. Someday the LED candelabra bulb may become the ideal choice, but sadly they are not there yet.

Just bought a new chandelier, and they look just perfect!!

I bought these for my dining room chandelier. They are absolutely bright. My 3,200K bulbs have a golden tinge to them, which we preferred greatly to both the 4000K (way too blue) and the 2700K (very orange) bulbs they replaced.If you're looking for a COMFORTABLE color temperature for the house, you will likely end up somewhere between 3,000K and 3,200K. Prior to this, I had purchased 4,000K bulbs, but the color tone wasn't what I was looking for. I thought 4,000K would get me a pure white light, but once installed they were obviously still very blue. I was given a very fast refund (returned to Amazon bookstore nearby), and re-purchased these which I prefer greatly.After comparing many different lights over the past few weeks, have decided that there is no perfect white bulb. They all have some color tinge, and all of this will come down to preference.If you're wondering why I even care, I'm an amatuer photographer, and always hate the orange color that you get taking pictures in 2700K lighting. I'll be honest and tell you that 3,000k to 3,200K won't fix those issues, but at the end of the day, what you want is lighting that is comfortable. Besides my camera can correct for color temperature if I set it correctly. So solve for comfort.

The bulbs look great, but two in the pack failed within a year of light use -- not why anyone invests in LEDs! Disappointing.

My mom has had 6 60W bulbs in her kitchen fixture for the last 50 years, and it's on almost all day. The brightness was also sub-par for the amount of energy being used, so I finally replaced a couple of the bulbs with these, without telling her as she's often complained about "the new LED bulbs being too white". A few days later I asked her if she noticed anything about the lights and while she could tell there which were the LED's, it was more because they were just brighter, not because they looked especially different. Swapped out the rest, and now she's using just 36W instead of 360W, and it's appreciably brighter too. So now she dims them a bit for normal use, and if she's working on something and needs some more light, there's more power available.Very smooth dimming, and can dim down to very low light (15% or so I'm guessing). Good color temperature and unless you stare at them you're not going to notice they're not incandescent. The LEDs are “Edison lamp” style. These bulbs will quickly pay for themselves in both bulb cost and energy cost. Highly recommended.

Great purchase. They are bright but not harsh and are also dimmable. What I like about LEDs is my and my wife's old eyes we need all the light we can get but also want to change brightness for ambience. Our chandelier was only rated for maximum of 40 watt incandescent bulbs which were far to dim. With these LEEDs I can greatly increase the lumens (light output) and still stay well below the 40 watt output. By the way, the light fixture maximum wattage was based on the heat output of the incandescent bub, and LEDs are far cooler. I was able to put put these 6 watt LEDS in and they give off the equivalent of 75 watts of incandescent. So with my 6-bulb chandelier I was able to go from 240 total incandescent watts of light to the approximate equivalent watts of 270, what a fabulous increase and they still can be dimmed down to as low as the old incandescent bulbs could.

The first picture is 2700k and made the walls and room look very yellow. I ordered these 3200k and they’re perfect. Bright, not at all blue or yellow! Finally the perfect bulb!
