I don't believe the specs on these bulbs are correct.
I bought these bulbs because they claim to be 1200 lumen and 3500K. They are virtually indistinguishable from 500 lumen 2700K bulbs that I was going to replace. The color is much warmer than other 3500K bulbs I currently have and closer to the 2700K range. I tried to return them but Amazon wanted me to pay $9 return shipping, so I guess I'll just keep them. But I just want others to be aware so they don't get taken by the inaccurate claims about this bulb. I buy hundreds of bulbs per year for commercial applications so I am pretty familiar with what the light from a bulb with these specs should look like, and I have other reputable manufacturer bulbs to compare them to. They also look somewhat crudely manufactured.

NOT bright.
Not sure what the people who say these are bright are looking at. These things are not even CLOSE to 100w equivalent, and they are not even close to 1200 Lumens each. I have a 900 Lumen flashlight, and it's brighter than two of these together. I literally can't even read a book with two of these in my ceiling fan. Maybe it's because my globe is opaque, but I definitely need something much, much brighter than these. I might have to convert my fan over to accept standard bulb bases.

Not the brightest...
...bulb in the pack, but they all lit up when screwed in. I didn't need for them to be super-bright because I am using them for an over-the-bed reading light fixture. They are certainly not 1200 lumen; I think the manufacturer must count all four bulbs together as 1200 lm? In fact, I searched for candelabra (E12) bulbs on Amazon and the only ones with an output of 1200 lumens were the ones that were in the "corn" configuration.They are adequate for my needs, but if I needed them to be as bright as they claim, I would've been sorely disappointed.

Not as Bright as Expected
Given the lumen rating, I expected a brighter bulb in my application (dinette ceiling fan). I think the interior design of the bulb directs much of the light out the side of the bulb, rather than towards the tip. I think these bulbs would seem brighter in a lower application, such as a table lamp or a wall sconce.

Bright light, poor CRI.
The lights work ok. The brightness is satisfactory. However, the spectrum is not good. Colors look flat under the light. Research CRI and you'll know why. These lights must have l low CRI rating. If that doesn't matter to you then these lights will be fine. I bought a different light with a CRI greater than 80 and colors are much better.

All lit, good light.
All 4 of these lit, which isn't guaranteed in inexpensive LED lights, and the light they put out seems about that claimed. A minor point, when lit all 4 bulbs show an odd discolored tip if stared at. Due to the brightness it takes concentration to see it, and thus it is not a problem, but what is it?

Burns out quickly.
The light is warm without being yellow. I am using it in my kitchen pendant lights. Happy with the purchase.Update: The bulbs have already started burning out. LED is supposed to last. Would not buy again. Expensive but not good quality. Not as bright as advertised.

Update..removing 1 star....I just went to change 4th bulb and it didnt work. Other 3 were fine.I am trying to go all LED in house. These worked fine in my celing fan lights. Bright enough.
