I was in Costco yesterday and saw these 10 packs. The price is right, although only because of the CT subsidy. Trouble is they are daylight bulbs. Even so, I was VERY tempted to buy one.
That looks like it. My store doesnāt have those now. I would have bought it at full price, nevermind that huge discount you get in Connecticut. The biggest now is a 4 or 6 pack, and I donāt think itās daylight. I prefer daylight since Iām used to high tints from living further south. The 60 watt 10 packs are still there.
The Feit 1600 lumen 100W eq uses 15W and claims on the package it is rated for enclosed fixtures, it works remarkably well. Though with subsidy it was $5 a few months ago, i bought 5, great bulb, i should have bought more, i replaced those not so great Philips bulbs with the Feit bulbs, the Philips are now unused and take up space.
I would be concerned about using that 7x device unattended, as far as i know its not CSA/UL/CE rated, and some adapters from chinese websites have been found to be unsafe (low gauge wire, cheap plastic that combusts etc.). For example i was looking for GU24 to E26 adapters and reviews complained about these type problems in an amazingly simple device thats just plastic and some terminals
I wish i could buy one of those 7 bulb adapters at a big box store that is approved, i would buy a dozen of them 
The last of my original daylight 100W bulbs has failed. Unlike the other bulbs, I caught this one before complete failure. One strip of LEDās doesnāt light up.
Itās weird that the 100W ones didnāt last. I replaced most of my bulbs with Cree 60W back when they were released, and none have given me any trouble at all. Well, except the one I hit with a light saberā¦ but it only knocked the glass off, and it works fine after gluing that back on.
Does that mean your light saber works well in knocking the top off or badly for not chopping through it? 
Thereās not much room indoors to swing around a meter-long sword. Soā¦ I was being gentle.
So you successfully ādedomedā a 60W equivalent CREE with a meter long light saber?
Iām impressed
I havenāt had a problem with the 60W bulbs either.
Home Depot rejected my attempt to return Cree bulbs for the first time. So much for recommending buying LED bulbs there for excellent customer service. This will be the first time I try Creeās customer service. The replacements came from Costco this time. Feit dimmable 100W bulb 4-pack for $17. I was tempted to bring some back from my trip to Seattle where they were subsidized to $8, iirc.
The only Feit bulbs Iāve tried are some ~150 lumen candelabla-style bulbs. They work really well though, have had them for ages, and they were advanced for their time. They get a lot of use because theyāre in two uplamps on top of my desk.
I used Creeās customer service several times before finally simply asking for a full refund. I bought a pair of 100 watt Cree equivalent lamps from Home Depot, and all up I went through both, and 3 replacements before calling it quits. Between the maximum of 1000 hours I got out of each lamp (and some lasted as little as 20 minutes), the $6 each it cost to return each of them, and average of 4 weeks it took Cree to replace them, I was really unhappy with the product and Cree. I calculated the payback period was the 21st of never. Cree did refund the purchase price eventually. This seems to have been a problem unique to the 100 watt equivalent lamps. I have had no trouble with the 40 and 60 watt equivalent lamps. The fixture that used the 100 watt lamps now has CFLās that have been relatively trouble free by comparison. It is likely to be a long time before I try 100 watt equivalent LED lamps again.
A little while back I tried some Philips 100W equivalent bulbs and wasnāt happy with them. They just didnāt seem that bright.
Recently I came upon 3 of these 60-100-150W at a very good price 
They are FEIT brand and are 3 way bulbs. 800, 1500 and 2200 Lumens.
This bulb is larger than a regular 60W equiv. and can be converted to a single way bulb by soldering a small wire at the base as shown.
I wouldnāt recommend doing that though, but at 2200 lumen, this bulb is bright!
Compared to a FEIT 60W equivalent bulb
Great tip! I didnāt know about shorting 3-way bulbs, so I had a couple of bulbs that were seriously underperforming. You just got me 2500 lumens.
Today I found these Maxlite 100W equivalents at a regional chain in New England called Ocean State Job Lot.
99 cents each.
I am familiar with the Maxlite brand and they are decent. When CFLās first started to become popular about 20 years ago I bought quite a few at a Utility Company energy promotion.
I tried this Cree bulb. It is good. But recently I bought a Sansi 17W led bulb (150w equivalent) on Amazon.I didnāt know what to think when I turned it on its so bright,just love it ! Maybe you can have a try if you like bright but energy-saving lights.
Dimmable is good. I rarely want full brightness but itās nice to have sometimes.
Hello! I have been crazy about LEDs since I got a LED bulb last Christmas. I got it for free to review and was amazed by its performance.I had replaced almost all my lights into LEDs. These brand name Sansi LED lights have 17W ļ¼150W equivalentļ¼and 30W(250W equivalent) which may help you. And I also saw some blogs from other reviewers. āhttp://gazettereview.com/2017/05/sansi-17w-led-bulb-review/ http://www.theoutdoornerd.com/2017/04/review-sansi-warm-white-15w-light-bulb.html
Hello. Do you work for Sansi? Your profile pic appears to be one of their marketing images and most of your posts have been recommendations for their products.
Be careful question people named Alice...
They could have superpowers! 
Always gotta be careful with Alices. Some of them have evil residing inside!
