Customer Review: Bought 3 6-Packs for canned lighting
Summary: 4 Stars
These work great so far. Have not had them in for long but they dim very well. Better than a couple of GE's that we tried and nice color to the light.Customer Review: Great Bulbs - love them
Summary: 5 Stars
I replaced 75w dimmable bulbs with these. No issues. These are nice. I have too many recessed lights in my house so It was overly lit and spending lots of energy. Replacing with these was just enough light. I do need a stronger bulb over my reading chair as these are too dim to read well. I have 8' ceilings. Only downside is these are made in China I was hoping to support the US economy by buying these. I didnt buy from Amazon I searched online for a cheaper source. I highly recommend this purchase.
UPDATE: After 1 year of use I had 5 out of 23 bulbs stop working. I contacted earthmate directly and they had me mail back the bulbs with my recipt and I spent $8 bucks on shipping but received brand new bulbs in a quick turn around. That was a few months ago. No problems since. Earthmate is a very easy company to work with. I'm pleased and will continue to buy their products.
Customer Review: Great light!

Just installed 6 of these last night to replace some 65 watt lights. The 65 watt bulbs were overkill for the fixtures they were in, so these ended up being perfect. There is a bit of a warm up time with these bulbs (about a min) so they start a little dim. However, once they warm up, the light is great. Much more warm than standard CFLs, but not quite as warm as a standard bulb. The dimmer works great with these as well; I can take the switch pretty much all the way to the bottom. Also, I was a bit worried that I would see the CFL tubes through the bulb, but I can thankfully say this is not the case. These are fantastic, especially considering that I can run 6 of these bulbs for 48 watts total, less than one of the bulbs that they replaced!Customer Review: Great mood Lighting

I needed 10 bulbs for recessed lighting for the perimeter of our top covered deck. I did not want the porch to look like an airport runway. I had tried the dimmable down to 15 watt and they just did not dim enough. These were just right. I can dim them down to less than a dim lightlight. They did the trick for low, low, mood lighting. They are wonderful! Donna from Plattsmouth NECustomer Review: Great product.
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently renovated our attic, and used recessed lighting throughout. Keeping the space cool is a challenge, as with any such space. We've done all the extra insulation and crawlspace exhaust fans. Recessed lighting was a necessity to save floor space and head clearance.
The incandescent bulbs on the dimmer, even when dimmed, contributed significant heat to the space. After reading the spotty reviews of the Philips and GE "dimmable CFL" BR30 tyoe bulbs, I was not hopeful that I would be able to replace the incandescents. Finding these (which are even cheaper than the GE/Philips alternatives, with lower power consumption) was a surprise. The few reviews were glowing, so I took the plunge and bought two 6-packs (there are 10 recessed lights dispersed through the finished attic).
The difference is remarkable. None of the typical fluorescent lag. Instant on! Very dimmable, probably close to the 5% claimed on the box. And they consume 8W vs the 65W bulbs they replaced. Much less heat.
