Buyer beware - poor product support on defective LED bulbs!
► Update - May 5, 2015▪ I had an ongoing issue, since installing one of these LED bulbs & it proved to be a defect in the LED bulb! The bulb would start to "flicker"... like a connection was loose, then it would stop, to start flickering again! I proved the problem to one LED bulb, as the other 3 LED bulbs work perfectly.▪ I contacted PacLights & was instructed to send the defective bulb back to them for warranty replacement. So I'm suppose to send the bulb back to them, at my expense, so they can replace their defective LED bulb? Not real happy with the customer support on this product. :(► my original review is below ▼I've been thinking about moving to LED bulbs, but the price seemed too high. I happened across this killer deal, so I figured it's time to upgrade to LED bulbs! :)The pros:+ 4 pack for $29.88... that's $7.47 each + free Amazon shipping when I purchased mine!+ Pretty good customer product reviews.+ This LED bulb is dimmable.+ The dimming works perfectly with our X-10 home automation lamp modules.+ Instant on, no warm up time as with CFL replacement bulbs.+ No noticeable noise when operating.+ 12 watt LED = 60/75 watt equivalent = VERY bright!+ Very good light output of 900 lumens.+ 80 CRI - color rendering index.+ Advertised - 3000 kelvin, soft/warm white.+ Omnidirectional light pattern, like the incandescent bulbs but it replaced.+ Energy savings.+ Advertised - Very long lifespan.The cons:- Advertised as soft/warm white, 3000K... close, but it's a whiter, cooler light. It's noticeable, so some may not like it. Normally 2700 kelvin is considered warm white.- These are VERY bright! One lamp we have is dimmed to 10%, as low as we can go & it's too bright.- Poor customer support! Don't expect too much in the way of exceptional product support from this company! :(► Update - May 27, 2015▪ When I installed these, the light wasn't as warm as the incandescent bulbs they replaced. I thought We'd get used to this, but that didn't happen. I'm going to change to 2700 kelvin, warm white LED bulbs. :(

One bulb failed in less than 5 hours
The 3 bulbs out of 4 that are working are good. The bulbs are rated for 25,000 hours - the first one failed in about 3 1/2 hours. I hope the other 3 last a bit longer. The lights are easily dimmable and are quiet. They do, however, flicker once on a voltage dip when dimmed - only once, not a constant flicker. I had a real dilemma regarding the defective bulb. Amazon required I return all 4, not just the defective one, and Paclights instructed me to resolve my problem with Amazon. Paclights even suggested I purchase 1 additional bulb and return the defective one on the new order, which I believe is unethical and refused to do. When I explained to Amazon that I needed 3 of the lights and could not return all 4, they offered credit for the defective one. I took the credit but still only have 3 bulbs. I believe that when the suppliers have a defective product (and they will now that most everything is made in China), the should resolve the problem with no cost and minimal inconvenience to the consumer.

Well the package it arrived in said 60 watt equivalent, nothing about 75 watts.
So far so good but I'm dinging them for advertising it as 75 watts when the box clearly shows 60 watts. I guess in 15 or so years if the thing is still working as advertised I'll bump it up to 4 stars but given that I ordered these to replace 75 watt bulbs I'm a little miffed. My wife and I notice the black line that surrounds the bulb when it's lit but we placed them within a white globe where you can't tell. Might be a bigger issue if you have them behind clear glass.*updated May 2018 to lower rating - bulbs are burning out in about 3 years. Not nearly enough to pay the additional expense.

Good LED lights - but will try other styles before buying again
These are the first LED lights I have purchased and I am quite pleased with them. The color is very similar to your standard incandescent bulb - very pleasant color, not overpoweringly white or bright. I have these 4 bulbs (48w total) comfortably lighting our good size family room that had about 250-300w total of incandescent bulbs before. The fins do get warm but not hot. Beware of the 60-75w equivalent claim on the listing. The box they come in only lists them as a 60w equiv. They may be brighter than a standard 60w but not sure how you can measure by how much. I haven't tried them on a dimmer so I cant comment on that. They are longer than a standard bulb - I tried to install them in a ceiling fan to see what they looked like. The end of the blub stuck outside of the glass fixture and didn't look very good. The box says to not use them inside of an enclosed fixture (probably because of the heat the fins do give off). In general, no complaints or reasons to give them less than 5 stars (granted they don't die in the next week) but I think I will try some other styles of LED lights before buying this one again.

Big Thumbs Up
LED Lights... Love 'em if you get the right kind for the room and lighting you need/want. Do yourself some research on LED bulbs before you buy any. Anyways... These worked great for me. They are a little longer than normal size bulbs, but still fits inside standard covers. I was concerned at first, but they fit. Will buy theses again for other lights in the house. UPDATE: I brought these a few months back. One of the bulbs has already burned out. So much for the long life pitch. Maybe it was a bad one... I understand not everything in the world is always perfect. :-) but not as impressed with these bulbs as previous. We'll see how long the rest last.

Seem to be just what I needed, with small reservations ...
Bulbs arrived on time and work well.The light is just a tad whiter than I expected, but is fine.I was impressed with the packaging. Individual boxes for each bulb.July 2015Had these lights since January.I've grown less pleased with the 'white' light, even though they are advertised as 'warm white'.I generally have a lot of problem with the color on LED lights.Guess I should have gone with a 2700K instead of 3000K??(It is ridiculous that I can't just buy a 'light bulb' anymore)The light output seems to not be 'spread out' as much as an incandescent bulb and that is annoying.Overall I am still generally pleased but dropping to 4 stars from 5.
