20-Watt Dimmable LED BR40 Light Bulbs

This light bulb truly replaces a 120w flood light. It is super bright. We ordered the 4100k and you get a SUPER BRIGHT light. They are truly amazing.

This bulb produces as advertised. The light pattern of this is just like a BR40 incandescent bulb so if you are looking to replace a burned out BR40 this will do it. I used this in a kitchen and it fit right in with the existing incandescent BR40 bulbs. There is a 1/2 second or less delay between when you turn the bulb on and when it lights. That really isn't an issue once you become familiar with how it works.

My house came with 6-inch in-ceiling cans designed to use 150-watt incandescent reflector flood bulbs. These can no longer be purchased in this country. In fact, one can no longer purchase the 120-watt reflector floods which replaced them for a while. My husband and I have been casting about for a replacement which would give enough light. Many burned-out CFLs later, we finally found an adapter unit made by Luminus and sold by Costco which includes an 3000K LED bulb. It is such a bright, blinding light that, in order to use them in our kitchen, we were compelled to install a dimmer switch. We then embarked upon a desperate search for a comparably bright LED bulb with a color temperature of 2700K. This bulb was it! We put it in one of our hallway fixtures. It gave plenty of light without the cold overly bright light of a 3000K bulb. This bulb is instant on, but there is a split second delay before it goes on. At first it will surprise you, but it is easy to get used to it. It is not at all like the CFLs which can take a minute or more to get to full brightness. If you have 6-inch in-ceiling cans, this bulb is the solution for you. It is by far cheaper than replacing all the cans with ballast-included cans in order to use CFLs which do not include ballasts. With three hours of use per day, these bulbs are purported to last for about 28 years. Of course, I have not yet been able to test this out, since they have just recently come on the market at the Pegasus price which is much lower than the prices of comparable bulbs from other suppliers.
