LED Bulb Mania

Bulbs Tried

Satco S9041 8 Watt (50 Watt) 540 Lumens R20 LED Cool White 4000K 106 Beam Ditto Light Bulb, Dimmable

Tried 6 in kitchen. Clinical white, not bad. Good cooking light. Highest buzzing with Lutron Maestro CL dimmer. Small almost traditional bulb size.

Grimaldi R20 LED Recessed Light - 4 Watts - 2900K - 380 Lumens - Equivalent to a 45W Philips Incandescent Reflector Bulb

Tried 6 in kitchen. Too yellow, not bright enough. No buzzing with Lutron Maestro CL dimmer.

Home depot bulbs...need info

Too yellow. Too bright. Didn't try with dimmer.

Philips 425306 8.5 Watt (65-Watt) BR30 Indoor Daylight (5000K) LED Flood Light Bulb, Dimmable, 800 lumens

Very white. Medium buzzing with Lutron. Very bright. Brighter than Feits. Nice shell. Look like standard can reflectors.

Feit PAR30 15 watt (75 equivalent), 800 lumens, 5000k

Actually not that bright. 800 is definitely exaggerated. Philips was way brighter and Satco pretty close. Very faint buzz with Lutron Dimmer. Shell is kinda crappy looking.

Philips 429381 10.5-watt (60-watt equivalent) 800 Lumens 3000K A19 LED Household Light Bulb, Bright White

No buzzing, but non dimmable. Seems like a "true" 3000k temp. Nice form factor and coating – small and rounded like a traditional bulb.

Philips 425264 12 -watt A19 LED Household Daylight Light Bulb, Dimmable

Pretty loud buzzing with and without dimmer. Bright, nice form factor and coating.
