Feit Electric BPMR16/GU10/800/LED Dimmable Spot Light Bulb

These are fabulous.

Another great Feit bulb. Casts a nice soft not-too-bright light on our backyard floodlight, plenty strong enough to see the trees and the snow in the evening but not that awful blinding LED light quality. No flickering or anything, either. Just what we wanted!

I bought a range hood a while ago, and shortly afterwards, the incandescent bulb it came with burned out. I bought a replacement pack of ten bulbs, and figured I'd be good for a while. I went through a bulb every 9-12 months. I figured, okay, it's a hot, stressful environment for a bulb, so it's not unusual to have it fail quickly. Still, it had me worried about the wiring, so I was hesitant to buy an expensive LED bulb, just for it to wear and die quickly.As it became obvious that LED bulbs were here to stay, and that it was pretty irresponsible to keep churning incandescent bulbs through there, I bought one of these for one of the sockets to try it out, while using the remaining incandescent bulbs in the other socket. It is now five years later, and the LED bulb is still going strong. I am, however, down to my last incandescent bulb, so I'm back to buy another one of these. The reduced hassle of having to swap the bulbs out alone makes it worth the money. (The bulbs are flush-mounted, so I need to use tape to unscrew them without taking the hood apart.)Here's hoping that their 22-year lifespan is accurate, and the old bulb still has another 17 left on it.It's plenty bright. They say 40-watt equivalent, which seems about right, maybe a little low. My hood with two bulbs has plenty of light for the stove. The translucent instead of transparent shield makes it less glaring than my other bulbs, while still being plenty bright.It's a very warm color, no blueish tinge. Their measure of 2700k seems accurate.

Many other reviews not dimming limitations, so I was skeptical as to what I would experience. I am using five of these in a downlight chandelier, with an Insteon 2477D SwitchLinc dimmer. I control my home lighting automation with an ISY 99. I am able to set the on level at 1% (being the dimmest possible setting). With the old incandescent bulb, that would be the equivalent of the faintest of glows, perhaps equivalent to a candle wick having just been blown out - basically worthless light. With these bulbs, it's still rather bright, but nowhere as bright as 100%. I sort of expected this having worked with LED bulbs before, and found that they don't develop an amber hue as they dim. Rather, the light is always rather white in color. Other LED bulbs I have don't operate below 15%, so that this one goes as low as 1% is a surprise, and a good thing, because 15% would be too bright. I'm keeping them as the old incandescent bulbs would burn out every six to twelve months, so I'm looking forward to the reliability of LED. Would have gotten a five star rating if the light would take on an amber hue as the bulb dims, similar to incandescent lights.

I like how light it is... non dimmable and bright

Wolf reduced the number of light bulbs in their hood from 4 to 2. As a result, my wife complained that the light while making dinner was too dim, particularly as the winter has eliminated sunlight.I used these FEIT light bulbs to restore the light. Two 800 lumen light bulbs seem to work as well as the old model's four 400 lumen light bulbs. I have a happy wife again.We've had the Feit bulbs for just two weeks. I can't comment on the lifespan. One weakness of LED lights vs. halogen is their sensitivity to heat. In the past, I've had LED bulbs fail prematurely, most likely from the heat of the stove. I don't have any information on how well these light bulbs will hold up over time.The light bulbs fit perfectly in the space allowed.If someone is looking to increase the brightness of their GU10 bulbs over a range, these bulbs do the trick.

I've had NO problem with the 4 bulbs I just purchased, but wanted to know if Feit recommended them for fan bulb replacement & was wondering about warranty - says 2 years on package but not exactly how to act on it. So, I emailed them on the feit.com site. They did answer with where to mail a defective bulb back to them. Hopefully after purchasing $65 worth of bulbs, they really will last. They seem sturdy & are light in weight so they are working great on my dimmable & variable speed light/fan for the 24 hours they've been installed. Time will tell if they are worth the $65 I paid on Amazon.I have tried similar bulbs from Lowes & ended up returning them because the dimmable aspect didn't work well. The Feit one dims well & this sort of bulb is so light in weight that my fan no longer has any vibration at full speed:) They go far enough up into the shades that they don't hurt your eyes, & their light is just like the incandescent ones they replaced. If we buyers have! problems you can contact them on feit.com & they will send their mailing address for defective bulbs. Revised! 4 yrs working!

Bought this brand because this is the brand on my outdoor garage light, however, this light is not very bright and looks yellow when lit up and the other bulb is white and much brighter, looks dumb. Hate it.
