Cree Lighting TA21-20027MDFH25-12DE26-1-11 A21 125W Equivalent, 2000 lumens, Dimmable LED Bulb, 1 Pack, Soft White

I recently purchased this Cree LED bulb and have been extremely satisfied with my purchase. I have used this bulb in my home office and it provides the perfect amount of light for any task I am working on.One of the things I appreciate most about this bulb is the fact that it is made by Cree Lighting, and not just "made with Cree LED Chips" which is very different. Cree is a company that is known for producing high quality products, so I know all of the parts such as the power supply and heatsink are well made. I have used other Cree Lighting products in the past and have always been impressed by their durability and performance.The 2000 lumens of this bulb are very bright and provide a lot of light. This makes it perfect for a room with a high ceiling or a room that doesn't have many windows. The warm light temperature also adds to the ambiance of the room and makes it feel more comfortable and inviting.Another great feature of this bulb is that it is dimmable. This allows me to adjust the brightness to my liking and create the perfect atmosphere for any occasion. It's also energy efficient and long lasting, which is a big plus. I am just using a standard wall dimmer, nothing fancy or expensive.Overall, I am extremely happy with my purchase of the Cree Lighting TA21-20027MDFH25-12DE26-1-11 A21 125W Equivalent LED bulb. It is a high quality and bright bulb that is perfect for any room in your home. I would highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a new LED bulb.

CREE lights are my go-to brand for LEDs. The make the best quality. Bought these to replace another brand that only output 650 lumens. It was night and day.Pros:Lumens: 2000 Lumens. At 18 watts, that's 111 lumens per watt.Color Temp: 2700k. The 2700 kelvin range is equivalent to the standard incandescent bulb.CRI: The color rendering index of 90+ is the minimum you should buy. Anything less is bad.Other: Dimmable, shatterproof (not that I'm about to throw it)Cons:Size. It is very large compared to a standard sized bulb. See picture. It may not fit in some enclosed fixtures.Surface Temperature: HOT! I could not hold my hand on the base for more than a few seconds without feeling the pain. This might also be an issue in enclosed fixtures.Summary: Would absolutely buy these again for open fixtures where size isn't really an issue. They are super bright, have an excellent color rendering index and a pleasing tone of 2700k. Perfect for living rooms where you can also dim the lights. Note that these are not "smart lights" which would be a PRO for me. I would just connect these to a smart switch or a smart plug instead.

I own five of these bulbs now which I use in my unfinished basement. They made a huge difference in brightness and my ability to find things over the 100 watt equivalent bulbs that I replaced. I bought these because they were made by Cree, a company well known for making quality light bulbs of various types for many, many years.

Awesome light, I love it but... I have 4 bulbs on the same Lutron Diva dimmer, and sometimes at certain dimmer positions, one or more of the lights flickers like about 3-4 flickers a second, like it's confused at what it thinks the power level should be. The workaround is to move the dimmer slider up or down to find a power level where it does not mess up. Mostly it's not a problem, but when it happens it absolutely sucks that I have to mess with it -- it doesn't just work right. Still giving 5 stars because otherwise it's an awesome light.Edit: 2 of the 4 lights almost always flicker at most settings now, and 1/4 of them failed (flickers off for more than 1 second at a time for >50 % of the time.)

This is, by far, my favorite light bulb. I haven't used the dimming feature so cannot speak to that, but the bulb is bright and provides beautiful light with great color rendering. It is worth spending a little extra for light of this quality.

I got a couple of these (daylight 5000K) to replace some generic LED bulbs. The colors are much more natural with these, and they are also considerably brighter. It works well on a dimmer (Leviton 6674), no flicker or noise at any brightness level.

These bulbs are bright and render colors beautifully, but after less than 2 years 2 have failed. Not nearly the lifespan we've been led to expect. They say 25k hours, the first died after only about 2k, second after maybe 5k.

Over the past 10 years I've only been using LED bulbs. First Philips and now mostly Cree. I had a Philips 1600 lumen in a bedroom lamp and it was dimmable, lasted about 4 years and went out. I replaced it with this Cree 2000 lumen, and can tell that not only is it brighter, but colors look better due to the CRI 90 (philips was 80). This Cree also dims just fine using a Lutron table dimmer. I tried the dimmer in the bedroom lamp and living room lamp, and the Cree was able to dim without any problem.
