These L.E.D. bulbs are worse than awful. Not much better than candles. Where can you buy a decent light bulb now?

I buy the florescents when ever I can find them. They actually last. The LEDs are a sham.

longevity isnt a problem, lack of light is

If they are tube flourescents, some of them it makes a difference which way they go in. There's a load and neutral end. In backwards, they are very dim.

I find mine at lowes and home depot, costco.
I usually go with "Daylight" Light and dimmable. The warm light is not very bright.

the old style bulbs lit stuff up. these led bulbs do not. nothing but shadows

Sorry, meant to say tube LED's. There should be a mark on each end, load and neutral.

Yeah, what Adam said. The daylight LED bulbs seem pretty bright, just get the right wattage.

I get all my LED's in the 4,500-5,000K range. That's a bright, white light.

I put four-foot LED strip lights in my shop and I get about 90 lumens per square foot. That's bright.

I got 250 watt equivalent LED bulbs on the outside fixtures on some of my outbuildings. They are very bright.

you can get crazy bright LED bulbs , the blue light frequency can be hard on the eyes

when we got new lights at work , it took me days to get used to them.

you may want to step up if it says 60W equivalent grab the 75W equivalent or the 100w equivalent

they also make the panel type and ones that look like florecent tubes

I have one like these looks liek a florecent tube in my basement very brite and will be getting more for the garage https://www.homedepot.com/p/EnviroL...8-LED-5000K-Tubes-SL602T1850-K/300380394


my brother just got some of these for his new workshop use the cheap edition base fixtures then screw in the bulbs https://www.amazon.com/Three-Leaf-C...amp;hvtargid=pla-1238792854251&psc=1

as I run things I am just putting outlets on the ceiling then using the hanging shop light type , that way when they do die it is just unplug and replace

You just have to buy ones powerful enough . We have completely chuanged over to LED"S and wont look back . The only incandescent we have are were we need a little heat .No more fluorescents either they never want to start in the cold

I feel just the opposite,

Go online, like amazon, and search 100 watt light bulbs you'll find all sorts of incandescent bulbs. Cheap too.

I'm with Danny, for the shop/garage yes. For inside the house-NOOO!

I oversee the maintenance dept of a big school district. We're switching everything over to LED's. Much more energy efficient and the bulbs last forever. Once in a while one fails but much, much less than anything we've used before.

But, there are junk Chinese bulbs out there.

You also need to purchase bulbs that are the right brightness. We are lighting parking lots with them with much brighter and whiter light than we had before. My home shop is all LED now and the lighting in there is much better and I'm spending less money on electricity to light them, and I will never have to change them again.

Thats my expirence with them also if you get the propper LED they are superior to incandescent and fluorescent lights.

Around here, the thing to do for citys, is switch over to LED’s. Here of late, I see purple lights on street lights, that are so dim, ya might as well not have them. The white ones are pretty bright, but those purple ones are a joke!

My garage has 1 thin flush mount led shop light which looks like florescent lights. It has a function where if you don't use a dimmer switch every click of the standard light switch changes the brightness. Warm- Daylight. Both lowes and home depot have them in stock.

Recessed lights are also dimmable and have a switch on the junction box that changes the lumens from warm to daylight.

I still have a few lights to replace from halogen to led but they are exterior lights and the kitchen lights are florescent and is old. Kitchen lights will be replaced with recessed led during remodel.

80Watt equivalent LED bulbs are great for lighting up a room.
