TORCHSTAR 1700LM Universal Garage Door Opener LED Light Bulb UL FCC Listed 15W Ultra Bright Minimize Interference 100W

I bought these to replace two 100W-equivalent LED lights (warm white). Those were originally bought to replace halogen lights, which would burn out from vibration-induced failure about every 4-6 weeks. The first set of LED lights (60W-equivalent, all I could find that was compatible with a garage door opener at the time) worked fine, until one faded to partial brightness after about 2 years, so I was looking for a replacement LED bulb. The new TORCHSTAR bulbs have only been in use for two months, so I cannot assess their longevity yet. However, the lights are much brighter, making it much easier to see and work in the garage, without having to turn on the separate overhead garage light. The 100W equivalent LED versus the 60W equivalent LED makes them brighter, but also the daylight color on the TORCHSTAR vs the warm white on the older 60W equivalent LEDs makes a difference. There is no apparent interference with the garage door opener remotes; neither the portable units in the cars, nor the wall-mount keypad. The use of LED cuts the power usage, and reduces the heat generated in the light enclosure. The enclosure is rated for two 60W incandescent bulbs, but the 100W LED bulbs use a fraction of the power of the 60W incandescent bulbs, so heat buildup, or too much power draw, is not an issue. Being LED, there is no worry about vibrations of the garage door motor breaking the filament of an incandescent (which was the original problem). Only time will tell if the humid garage environment and temperature swings (~20F in winter to ~100F in summer) will cause issues with the new bulbs. Update May 2024, after almost two years of use: Lights are still going strong. No noticeable degradation or flickering. Temperatures have exceeded 100 degrees F, and down to the single digits F in the garage during that time. Update December 2025, now about 3.5 years of use: The bulbs are still going strong, with no noticeable loss of capability. Read more

Nice bright bulbs for garage use. I installed them in our Liftmaster door openers & everything works as it should, i.e. no interference with the remote control operation as you might experience with LED bulbs not specified for garage door openers. The light is a bit "cold" for my taste, but I don't spend much time in the garage, so that doesn't matter. Read more

Fit my old garage door opener and is nice and bright. Says the lifespan is years and energy efficient so hoping not to have to change them for a decade if lucky. Read more

Since I’d run out of incandescent bulbs for my garage door openers, I resigned myself to greatly reduced range or darkness. I was so glad to find there was a solution! These bulbs are very bright and don’t interfere with the garage remotes at all. Great product! Read more

I recently purchased these 2 LED garage door opener bulbs to replace the 2 defective Feit LED garage door opener bulbs in our Chamberlain B970T garage door opener. The Feit LED bulbs worked very well while they lasted, which was only 3 years, then they started dimming and flickering over time. These LED bulbs do not interfere at all with the Chamberlain remote controls, the Homelink system in our vehicles, the outside wall remote keypad, or the WiFi signal from the router. In fact, I can still activate our garage door opener from well over a block away with these LED bulbs installed (with the lights on) using the remotes or Homelink. Not that I do that very often, but its just nice to know that I can. The MyQ App also works from anyplace with an internet connection with these LED bulbs installed. The 3000k version of these LED bulbs is a nice neutral colored white-ish light. They are not too yellow or too blue. These LED bulbs also fit and work perfectly in the Chamberlain B970T light bulb sockets without any modification. There is no flickering at all. The only reason that I am deducting 1 star is that these LED bulbs are no where near the advertised 1,500 lumens in brightness. They have the exact same brightness as the 7 watt/800 lumen Feit LED bulbs that they replaced. The light is just a little whiter because these LED bulbs are 3000k and the Feit bulbs were 2700k. The 104 degree fahrenheit ambient temperature limitation is also a little low, in my opinion. Only time will tell how long these LED bulbs will last. However, I have NEVER seen any LED bulb (of any brand) last the rated 25k to 50k hours that is usually stated as the "lifetime" of the bulb. In my personal experience, the longest lasting LED bulbs seem to all be made by Philips. However, they also cost more than these generic LED bulbs. I highly recommend these LED garage door opener bulbs for anyone looking for a non-incandescent light bulb that does not produce any RF interference. However, just be aware that they are nowhere near as bright as advertised, and like most other LED bulbs on the market, who knows how long they will last. Good luck! Read more

These lights work very well and don't interfere with the remote control. I did see others who said they don't last very long so I will be watching for life of the bulb as we go forward. Read more

They work well in my Garage Door and don't interfere with the remotes like some Non-Garage Specific LEDs may. Very Bright and very white coloring which is nice the Garage....(prefer warmer colors in living areas...) Read more

Great bulbs! Lights up my whole garage with bright daylight. Highly recommended! Read more
