Good Quality Bulbs
It took me some time to switch from halogen bulbs to LED bulbs. I'm not sure why, but price was usually the biggest deciding factor. When I saw that LED bulbs were available from Great Value I was excited. I like the Great Value brand and have always been happy with their products. I don't like to overpay for anything and I was happy to try out these 40 watt bulbs to see if they would create a less vibrant brightness than the 60 and 70 watt. I opened the package to give the Great Value LED 40 watt bulbs a try. The box is made strong and comes with four bulbs that slide out of one end of the box on a cardboard tray. The bulbs themselves are made well and don't feel overly fragile. I do believe from how they feel that they are generally shatter resistance as indicated on the box. Which is so nice when you have small curious children who want to hold one before you put it into the lamp. The package says one bulb will last approximately 9-22 years vs the 1-2 years for halogen bulbs. This means I don't have to shop for new bulbs for the lamp for like 10 years! That's exciting for me since I would much rather spend my money on something else. Plus, they use the least amount of energy when compared to halogen and CFL bulbs. To try the brightness, I put the bulb in a small lamp in the living room that needs more of a gentle warm brightness for late night or reading a book on the couch. The 40 watt was just right! Overall, these are my go-to bulbs for all the lights in my house, including our outdoor, covered porch lights.

yuck
My only complaint is with the mfg. - didn't think of motion sensors nor dusk to dawn sensors. The LED bulbs burn out in just a couple of days. Pretty expensive to use!! Also - with the mfg. again - you can't see clearly with a 60 watt - have to go to next one - - whereas old bulbs a person could see fine with a 60 watt. You asked!!

    Plant lights
    I have a lot of plants and needed light bulbs that had at least 1500 lumens. honestly I wanted the cheapest set up possible. with the lamp plus the light bulbs ran me about $40 totals. a lot cheaper than actual plant lights and getting them installed in my case or above the plants. I leave on 16 hrs of the day and never had a problem with them getting too hot. i'm writing this review 5 months since i bought them. no issues. would buy again.

    Bright, crisp lighting!
    These light bulbs really brighten a room! Crisp bright lighting that seem brighter than your regular 60W equivalent. Does make it feel like real daylight. These will be good for winter when everything is dark and gloomy.

    Good for everyday lighting situations.
    These LED bulbs are not made of glass, and this is stated on the package. During shipping, the box was crushed, and one bulb had a large dent, but being plastic, it did not break. I hesitantly put it in a lamp, dent and all, and it's still glowing bright after a couple of weeks. Time will tell what kind of lighting time these bulbs give, as they do seem a little cheaply made, so my fingers are crossed! They provide a bright white type of light, seemingly brighter than a regular 60 watt bulb. For the price they appear to be a good buy, so I recommend purchasing. I don't think they would withstand outdoor use.

    Good for a short time
    Great bulbs if you enjoy changing light bulbs and within a couple of months buying more. You will start to get a random flicker from time to time then nothing at all. Have had several since previous homeowner had them all over the house. Bought a couple of packs thinking maybe he got some bad ones and the house was built in 2014 that maybe they have been in here since new. From my experience since they have likely been changed about a dozen times or so since they built the house. Will not be buying more. Have had good luck with GE so far. They need to change 9 year claim to 9 hours…..Literally

    If in doubt, get the 60 watt for your bedroom.
    These lightbulbs seem to work fine. Since they are like daylight and they were for a bedroom, I almost got the 40 watt. I'm glad I didn't! The 60 watt were perfect ambient light for my bedroom. I can't say anything about how long they last, since I just got them. I hope they really last for the time they say they will. I think it was 7 years.

    Affordable and just what I wanted.
    I bought two packs of these. We just moved, and when we got there to clean, we switched out all the light bulbs. These are best for in multi light fixutres, such as ceiling lights and over the bathroom sink. I strongly dislike WARM WHITE which cover everything in this sick yellow light. THESE are very bright, and provide a beautiful clean white light.

    Nice Sunny Lamps
    Love the effect of daylight in my lamps and strangely so do my plants, not saying these are grow lights by any means but just that my plants for some odd reason seem to be doing better than with normal lights, weird but true anyway they're great to read by and do other things, very nice.

    Not worth the price - lasts less than one year
    These bulbs do not last more than one year which isn't even close to the 9 years that it says on the package. The fine print on the back has a one year guarantee that walmart doesn't honor. I bought three packages of these and the first one went out after a few months and then one each month after that. It's been ten months now and I found another one out today. I wrote the date on each bulb when I bought them because I had purchased them before and thought I replaced them a bit to fast. You can see my faded out writing in the picture.

    Very nice LED Light Bulbs
    I was looking forward to trying out these LED Light Bulbs. They are the equivalent of 60 Watt incandescent Light Bulbs and emit a very nice natural soft-white light. I put them in my bathroom fixture where skin tone is important and they did not disappoint. They gave a very nice glow without harsh shadows. They claim to have a 10,000 hour life and actually use 9 watts of power. If I didn't know better I would have thought they were regular incandescent light bulbs. They give off such a nice light! I'd recommend these bulbs to anyone who is looking to save energy, have a nice soft-white light, and have a long-lasting bulb.

    Great Lightbulb
    I like this lightbulb as it gives off a nice, bright glow. I have a beige lampshade and it shines nicely through it. It resembles a regular lightbulb but with a white base. No trouble with screwing it into the socket. Look forward to having this lightbulb for years to come.

    Long lasting bulbs that use less energy
    These bulbs came as a welcome replacement for the old incandescent ones that produced a dreaded yellow light and were eating up energy like hungry. Now these Great Value bulbs are 60 watt equivalent but don't let this fool you because they actually use only 9 watts and are also shatter resistant. I am using three of them right now for the bathroom vanity. These bulbs while not exactly globe shape, are actually quite close. All three fit perfectly, look great and use less energy. They are somewhat smaller than their predecessors and look fantastic. These bulbs will last a long time, their lifespan is 7 to 9 years that means less maintenance. The soft white light they emanate, is beautiful. No more changing light bulbs for me that makes my life so much easier. I am very happy with my new LED bulbs by Great Value and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone.

    Bright without getting hot.
    The Great Value LED general purpose, 60 watt equivalent, 9 watts actually used, soft white, non-dimmable light bulbs are the future of lighting your house. These light bulbs put out the same amount of light as the old 60 watt incandescent light bulbs did but use 85% less power. They will fit into all of your light sockets just as the old energy wasting light bulbs did. These LED light bulbs do not get hot to the touch. They last longer (up to 9 years) than incandescent bulbs and save up to $1.08 per bulb per year. The Great Value LED light bulbs are really a great value. Their cost is so reasonable that anybody can afford to upgrade their house to these light bulbs and in one year they will pay for themselves in energy savings. Walmart offers LED light bulbs in any size of watt rating you may require for your needs. I am on the way to changing out all of my light bulbs to the Great Value LED energy saving light bulbs.

    These Bulbs Illuminate the Room Beautifully!
    I moved into this condo where the downstairs bathroom had these dark, mismatched bulbs above the sink. The bath is under the stairs with no window, meaning no real light. I plan on replacing the light fixture, but for now I needed better light. These Great Value LED Light Bulbs are perfect! Lots of light, like having a window in my bathroom! My bathroom now is brighter and more pleasant for my guests to go into. My female guests actually remarked to me on the 'great lighting in the bathroom'. Perfect lighting for makeup! These LED bulbs use less power, and will last so much longer than the regular bulbs. Now to get to the store and purchase more for the rest of the house.

    Bright!
    This review is for Great Value LED Light Bulbs 14W (100W Equivalent), Daylight. Wow! These are my very first LED light bulbs and they are bright. I've been using low light CFL bulbs for so long, I'd forgotten how wonderful it is to have bright light in the house again. These bulbs give off a hue that is more blue than yellow which means they give off a light that is more "cool" light than "warm". In addition to saving on energy costs, these bulbs will last up to nine years. I'm using one in the light next to the chair I sit in to crochet. It's so much easier to see the stitches now. I'm also using one in the light in my bedroom which has made putting on makeup not only easier, but more true to how it will look when I go outside. Definitely a good choice to select these light bulbs.

    Super Bright
    True to rating 100 Watt Equivalent. These are the first LED bilbs that were what they were rated. These are very bright and are true daylight bulbs. They light up my bedroom and living room bright. I have not tested them to work on a dimmer. I did put one above my stove in the hood. It sure did light up the kitchen area and especially the stove. They are a solid construction, I dropped one on a hard floor, no damage, did not effect lighting. Great safety feature for kids that might accidently knock over a lamp. Or a big kid like me that might knock over my tall standing lights. Very pleased with these bulbs.
