candelabra light bulb

The media could not be loaded. Initially worried - this product had high reviews (I add 4* + 5* and subtract 1*) BUT the 1* reports said "Not Dimmable" and "poor Longevity", and DOA. I purchased 12 of these (2x6 packs) because I have many fixtures which use these bulbs (2700K candelabra). I had 3 bulbs out in the bathroom fixture - BUT - after thinking about it - decided to replace all 9, as I couldn't remember how old the remaining bulbs were, and don't fancy getting a 10-foot ladder into position. As I was removing the dead bulbs - the remaining 6 lit up dim, even though the switch was off :-O !! This is a common problem with the older style LED bulbs and controllers - where even when off, some idle current is required in the controller circuit. The new Sengled bulbs had no problem with this - when the switch was off (A Control-4 smart Zigbee switch), the lights were off!! Dimming control was smooth and perfect with the C4 controller. The bulbs also worked well with a Lutron lamp controller (clamp lamp images). The bulbs were quite bright - as you can see - through the range of dimming (you'll need to pay attention to the background - as the iFoan camera automatically adjusted for the center image - so the background becomes progressively darker). Yes - there IS printing on the glass shell around the bottom of the bulb - BUT - it is a light gold in color, and all but disappears when the bulb is on (compared with other bulbs that have BLACK lettering - which is really obnoxious. I tested all 12 bulbs in my clamp-lamp/Lutron dimmer and they all worked perfectly. Finally - and as seen on the close-up image, these bulbs do have an insulating sleeve at the base of the bulb to protect against shorts and shocks.For now - I'm impressed. Although a bit more expensive, these may be worth it. Another reason I replaced all 9 bulbs in my fixture - I want to get a good feel for how long these will really last. They come with a 1-year warranty. IF I remember a year from now, and there have been no failures (sooner fer sure if there are) - I will update this review, and consider changing the 'value' rating to 5*

Short story: each bulb lasts less than a few hours, and that's the case with EVERYONE of the 12 bulbs in a pack!I've bought several 12-bulb packs on Sengled E12 chandelier bulbs before and they've worked well, so when I got a new chandelier, I noticed that I don't have enough spare bulbs around so I bought another 12-bulb pack. Upon receiving I noticed that they changed the packaging, from the brown paper box to some white/red package. I thought maybe they has a new packaging designer. As long as the bulbs are the same I could care less.2 days after the bulbs were installed, I noticed that 3 bulbs already went out. I replaced them. The next day, I noticed two more went out. I replaced them again. This keeps repeating EVERYDAY, and within a week, my entire new pack of 12 bulbs are used up.I fully expect that this trend to continue that I am going to lose 2-3 bulbs a day, and within another week all bulbs on my new chandelier will be dark.Sengled may have switched supplier to some low cost low quality supplier so save a few pennies. Even though it is well within Amazon's return period, I am not going to dig out the dead bulbs from my trash can and send them back to Amazon. Rather I am going to switch to a different brand.

My mom’s room has a ceiling fan that uses the Candelabra bulbs, and I got her a desk lamp for Christmas that uses the same bulbs. I bought these because we have LED bulbs in the rest of the house. They work great, are just as bright as the incandescent bulbs, but don’t put out the same heat. Her desk Tiffany lamp doesn’t get warm now. It was a good price for the pack of bulbs and we have plenty of spares.

Nice and bright but still a warm white. I bought these to replace 25W bulbs in a chandelier that had dimmed quite a bit over the past three years. They're dimmable which is a plus, especially at this price, so I may decide to put a dimmer switch in.UPDATE - I've had these installed in two chandeliers for 7 months now. The fixture that is used the least has dimmed to about 50% of what the old 25W bulbs were when I replaced them. The other fixture gets used on a daily basis - those bulbs are hardly lit. I have to assume the issue is a design problem as all 6 bulbs have dimmed uniformly.

05/30/2024: I read through the product information and noticed that the bulbs carry a 2-year warranty. I contacted Sengled US and asked if they will honor their warranty and provide me with a new set of a bulbs. Without hesitation, they did! My new set arrived yesterday and I will install them this weekend. I hope they perform better, but I am grateful they stood by their product and warranty. I have increased the rating from 1 star to 4 for their assistance; if they last longer this time, I might add back the last star.05/08/2024: I purchased these bulbs in December 2023 and 4 of 6 have died by May 2024. It's almost inconceivable that LED bulbs would die so quickly, so it must be a manufacturing defect. I should have heeded the other reviews that questioned their performance, but Amazon's AI-enabled customer review synopsis feature didn't exist at that time. I will not be purchasing another set of replacements and will look elsewhere for longer-lasting bulbs.
