Sunco 12 Pack Vintage LED Edison Bulbs 75W Equivalent 8 5W 1000 LM Dimmable ST58 Filament ST18 4000K

I have become OBSESSED with finding the RIGHT LED COLOR TEMPERATURE.... and bought a few different sets to try. 2700K is too yellow and 5000K is harsh blueish white (lacking color).. horrible in the home (looks like warehouse lighting). Since KELVIN temperature can vary by brand (and intensity).. you have to find what works best for you taste. Additionally I also discovered "some" LED's can be quite hot to the touch generating lots of heat, while others remain cool. There are basically 2 types of bulbs.. flat disc and filament. Flat disc are usually plastic base half way up to the plastic dome top, leds mounted to flat disc radiating upward. These bulbs can get extremely hot at the base. Filament bulbs typically come in glass, have a full radiating pattern, and remain cool to the touch. These come in both type lenses, clear and frosted and are considered a better bulb. I recently compared 5 different bulbs in my chandelier: (1) CFL twisty bulb was unbelievable yellow (almost orange in comparison far more than I realized)... and generated a lot of heat at the base. Output was acceptable... I've been running these for years. (2) 3000K (this bulb 75W equivalent) filament LED (warm and bright)... much brighter in color (almost a halogen look) but still looked natural (the best of the 5 tested) .. great lumen output. (3) 3000K 60W "Reveal" Brand.. way too dark (only 600 lumens) and had a "red hue" to it. This was supposed to have a high CRI (color rendering index) but didn't seem any better than 3000K filament bulb. Output way too low.. Returned (4) 3500K LED 75W "flat disc" 800 lumens.. (about as white as I am comfortable with in the home environment) but acceptable. This is a good kelvin compromise between too yellow and too blueish white. Only downside (for me), the bulb generates a LOT of heat at it's base (5X bulbs would be too much) and may not be best upside-down or in enclosed fixture. Heat also prematurely kills LED's. This is the typical economy bulb bought it bulk pack at Lowes. Color good.. but still a little too white for my taste.. although works well in bathroom. (5) 4000K Filament 75W LED... very white, very bright. Usable, but did not look natural in my living room or dining area.. the room seemed to lack color. I'm glad I didn't order too many of these. Sidenote: I have found 4000K long fixtures to be more acceptable in right location such as work or office. (BONUS) 3000K Filament 11W high-output 1000+ lumens.. very bright, great color also looked natural. I have some lighting that stays on continuously, and don't trust bulbs that get hot.. as well as don't want the extra heat in any application (except maybe outdoors) It takes a while to really decide. When you first turn them on, or walk into the room is when you REALLY notice if they are too white, or too bright... or just feel unnatural. The colors in the room can suffer with wrong lighting, and looks like warehouse lighting. The 3000K 75W filament bulbs with shapely wide glass tops are a HUGE winner! They look GREAT in my chandelier, stylish, warm feel to the room. I have the same 3 in an overhead fan in the dining room too. These bulbs are a little taller, may not fit all applications (I have them in table lamps with no problem) These bulbs have no flicker, and are supposed to be dimable too.. which is perfect. Filament lighting is superior in many ways and they just look great too. It's taken a while, but I finally found one I'm happy with. Nice packaging.. the 12-pack was a GREAT value too! Read more

Great color rendition. Bright daylight and they look great as well. Very low heat and can be touched easily. Read more

The bulbs are still fairly new. But so far, I am happy with the quality for the price. Read more

I would be very, very careful about purchasing these lightbulbs. The first box of bulbs we ordered only lasted a few months before about half burned out. I contacted the company, and they sent replacement bulbs free of charge, but months later, those are already failing. These bulbs are for a bathroom vanity, and are turned on 2 hours a day, max (usually less). These bulbs are advertised as lasting 15,000 hours, which they do not. I’m not sure if it’s false advertising or poor quality control, but I would not trust this product or vendor, again. Read more

Great product, fast shipping Read more

These bulbs are very attractive and brightness is good. The efficiency of these bulb is 0.0085 Watts per Lumen, which is average. The dimmability curve is smooth, but not linear. This is quite hard for LED bulbs to do. They tend to go dim very quickly at low power. Read more

They are bright, lightened up the rooms I used them in. Read more
