LED Chandelier Light Bulbs - 40 Watt Equivalent - Soft White Light (2700K) - 300 Lumens
Love/hate relationship with these bulbs
I acquired these LED Chandelier Light Bulbs because I wanted something brighter for my ancient chandelier (with a dimmer switch) that came with the house, and it's maximum wattage is 25 per bulb, and even though it has 6 bulbs, they just aren't bright enough. The bright spot was that these were a higher wattage, using only a fraction of the actual wattage, which is a huge plus, and, they're instant on, no waiting for the bulb to warm up.
These LED Chandelier Light Bulbs are indeed brighter. They really don't fit all that well with my current shades (that work well with the blunt tip bulbs), but they still work.
Sometimes I like to leave the chandelier on it's dimmest setting if we go out at night and don't want to come home to a pitch black house. Even on the dimmest setting, these lights are too bright. If you don't have a dimmer, then it's not an issue.
The one major flaw that bothers me is the white base. It really does take away from the light that would normally radiate downwards, but the main issue is the writing on the base, which can be easily seen, since you're looking up at it. If you have a light cover that covers the base, or screws in from above, you're okay.
Pros:
Brighter, especially good on older watt restricted fixtures
Energy Star rated
Dimmable
Instant on, no warm up required!
Warm white color
