SYLVANIA Natural Light Series LED BR40 Soft White

These not only come close to duplicating the behavior of tungsten, they are available in different Kelvin ratings - a plus over tungsten!As more and more of our tungsten bulbs die, the search for LED replacements seems to be getting more difficult. Tungsten bulbs dimmed so smoothly, to rather low light levels, and could stay there without flickering. Over the years, the brands at my local box stores has dwindled to names obviously made by "who knows." I have had good results with GE and Sylvania, especially Sylvania. None of my box stores had those brands so I bought some of their brand X. They had these common features: they did not dim to anything close to candle light, they did not dim smoothly but jumped from one light level to another, they would not always hold a light level without either flickering or shutting down, and they are not that inexpensive given their short life spans. Thank you Europe for Sylvania.

I replaced 90-watt incandescent with these. Same color light, and the same brightness. Absolutely no heat. After installation, they matched the old lamps so well I wish I'd ordered brighter lamps.

Good quality and last a decent amount of time

This is the first time I've tried any of these TruWave LED bulbs (or any of the similar lines by other manufacturers). This one, in 2700k, does seem nicer on the eyes than most LEDs. The brightness and beam spread is good, but the incandescent equivalent rating is off. They say this is a 85w equivalent and it puts out 1100 lumens. 1100 lumens is what a 75W incandescent bulbs emits, so this really should say 75W equivalent. Still plenty bright for our needs, not sure why they felt the need to advertise it as 85W. Hopefully it lasts as long as they say. Haven't tried it with a dimmer yet, but will soon. The price is high, but not much worse than most other LED bulbs of this type, and light bulbs in general, these days.

Product provides very good lighting. Good value for the money.

Small but perceptible delay when turning on, which I find annoying ... guessing roughly 250-500 milliseconds ?

Bought these because they were the most cost-effective lights with the BR-40 size to replace the dated heat lamps in my bathroom. The light is awesome, though. I will definitely seek out the TruWave in the future, it really does cast the perfect warm glow in a space.

Fills the room with light. The color of the light is nearly the same as the sunlight filtered through my skylight. Very pleased.
