A while back I bought a pile (50? 80? lost count…) of GE LED bulbs. Most were “60W equivalent” 800 lumen 2700K A19 bulbs. https://www.gelighting.com/led-bulbs/e26/ge-led-soft-white-60w-replacement-a19-1 I got them at crazy 90% off sales at under $1 each, most around $0.72 or so (cheaper than incandescents!), instead of the regular price around $7 each. Some dimmable, most not.
I got a few of their more expensive “HD” bulbs too, which I thought must be mostly marketing, before I learned about high CRI LEDs. It made a small difference when compared back to back, but probably unnoticeable to most.
A couple of higher lumen (1200? 1600?) 5000K “daylight” bulbs went in the garage. It looks awful when moving from a 2700K environment, but the brightness and color temperature are actually kind of nice when working on something.
I also found some filament-style Philips candelabra “40W equivalent” dimmable 2700K (300 lumen, 4W, 40mA) bulbs with yellow tinted glass. They work well and have a pleasant soft glow. At around a dollar each in 3-packs at dollar stores, I cleaned them out.
The Philips work ok on a regular resistive dimmer in the kitchen, but the dimming is non-linear, and they don’t like low brightness, where they make a slight buzzing and sometimes flicker. But it’s much better than the GEs which buzz more loudly and strobe if dimmed.
One note is that they all say “not for use in totally enclosed or recessed luminaires”. That has kept me from replacing some incandescents, although I still risked some LEDs in a couple of enclosed locations.
If they last the 13 years they claim (15k hours, generous math of only 3 hours of use per day), I should be good for lighting for a couple of decades. Now I don’t know what to do with all those incandescents. We actually still had a case or two of spares before I went on this LED madness.
P.S. I just checked my invoice and we’ve had them 1.5 years. Wow time flies. None have died yet.
