4.0 out of 5 stars Good LED replacement bulb, January 2, 2011

This review is from: Bulbrite LED2CTC LED Chandelier Candelabra Base, Clear (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have been looking for literally several years for decent candelabra based bulbs for my chandelier (5x 40W) and a post light (3x60W). I have tried several CFL's and have been disappointed with their light quality, and life spans. At this point I've had 3 CFL's and 2 incandescent bulbs in the chandelier, and the conventional bulbs have out lasted the CFL's. (One frustration, is every time if found the CFL's they only seem to have 1 or 2, plus the light quality hasn't been as pleasing and I desired some "instant On" illumination. I've also tried a couple of different color temperatures in the CFL's but it doesn't seem to matter.) In my opinion, the CFL's simply don't look pleasing. Anyway, I bought several of these LED's to try out. They are not as bright as the incandescent bulbs, however, when viewed side by side with the CFL's & incandescents, they really look pretty and blend right in, much better then the CFL's. I think they give a more pleasing light than the CFL's, plus they look both high tech and "right" in the chandelier. In my chandelier, there is a down facing E26 (medium) base socket so I have replaced a 16W CFL with an 8W LED, so there is plenty of light and the we finally have a light that looks beautiful, yet is energy efficient. (For me this is very important because with the layout of our house, this light is on virtually anytime we are home, now instead of approx. 260W, we are well lit for about 19W!!

I also tried these in my post lamp outside. this has 3x60W candelabra incandescent bulbs now. I love the look of the fixture but have been very frustrated by the lack of energy efficient options. Anyway I replaced the three 60W bulbs with three of these Bulbrite LED's and have been pleasantly surprised. Yes, there isn't as much light (as expected dropping from a 60W bulb), however the look is beautiful and these give off enough light that I'm not changing them back. I've asked my wife and several others if it looked good/bright enough and everyone thought it was fine. They were un aware that I had replaced the 60W bulbs with these LEDs. Again, if you look at the bulb when lit, it looks great, unlike the CFL's that look like a big white blob. For comparison sake, I'm also going to try a Philips Torpedo LED that appears to provide approximately 25% more lumens, but trade life span, however I'm keeping these bulbs.

All in all, these are nice, if not expensive bulbs. In their favor, they use very little electricity, they look elegant and yet high tech and should last many "guilt free" years.

4.0 out of 5 stars Contrary to the 2-star review..., December 6, 2011

I am not affiliated with Bulbrite, or Amazon; I am just an interested party also shopping for the best replacement LED bulb of this type.

Contrary to the 2-star review, this product's manufacturer presents all important technical information on this product at their website:

Go to ... wwwDOTbulbriteDOTcom ...

At this site, search for LED2CTC or LED2CTF, and select the clear or frosted bulb-type you desire. (Note, another reviewer, a doc, indicates he was shipped a mix of these two model numbers, when only one was ordered.)

When the bulbrite webpage appears, the luminous flux value for this bulb (105-100 lumens) appears in a technical specs table at bottom of the page.

I would suggest that it is not fully the manufacturer's responsibility to ensure that every aspect of its specifications make it on to Amazon sales pages. Rather, there is nothing wrong with us going to the manufacturer's site to find the information that we need before buying. Ideally, of course, everything we wish to know, or see, will be exactly where we first look for them. In a perfect world.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pricey but works perfectly, July 25, 2011

I ordered two of these bulbs for the enclosed portion of a Tiffany style chandelier. Regular bulbs got too hot within the enclosure and threatened to melt the wiring. CFL bulbs didn't last very long, again probably the result of being in an enclosed space. These LED bulbs are perfect - no heat is generated so they should last for years. They're bright, with 15w of equivalency to standard bulbs at only 2.1 watts of consumption.

Interestingly, my two bulbs arrived in identical packaging with identical product codes but differed considerably. One has clear glass where you can easily see each of the LEDs while the other has frosted glass. The two bulbs otherwise appear identical. I don't mind since my two bulbs are enlosed in a colored-glass enclosure and you therefore can't tell the difference, but if your intent is to have several of these bulbs in a fixture where each bulb can be seen, you'd likely want the frosted glass variety. The two bulbs should definitely be in different packages and sold as different items.

In any case, both bulbs work perfectly, with all the LEDs brightly lit. The bulbs lose a star on the cost, since the price is rather high for a small bulb, but if they last as long as they should, the cost should trade off with the electrical savings.
