I bought these bulbs in the daylight (5000k) non-dimmable option. So far I'm very pleased with them.
We recently moved. Our old house had Sylvania brand 2700k soft white LEDs throughout, which we liked. After moving into the new house we learned that they had fitted the whole thing with incandescent bulbs. A brand new house built in 2017 with filament bulbs. Ridiculous, right?
One of them burnt out the day after we moved. Obviously they had to go.
Rather than buying 2700k again, I decided to go with 5000k this time since this house is much more modern-looking than our old one. I tested the first box in the bathroom just to see how they would look and was stunned by just how white they are. There's no hint of yellow or blue, just straight up, stark white. "Daylight" is an accurate description. I put them in half of the first floor to compare them to the incandescents and it made the old ones look yellow. Not just warm, I mean ugly urine-yellow, like a sepia filter on a camera.
The stark white light gives everything in the house a truer color. The walls look especially better. The floor looks less brown and more like driftwood, which is what we were going for. The furniture looks newer. The bathrooms look cleaner. Everything just looks better. It actually took a couple of weeks to get used to, coming from 2700k bulbs, but now I can't imagine going back.
As for the bulbs in general, time will tell how well they hold up. It's only been a month since we installed them so I can't attest to their long-term reliability. We had our old LEDs for years, though, so I'm expecting these to last the decade that they claim.
The brightness description is accurate, although these are actually very slightly brighter than a 60W incandescent bulb and 8W LED bulbs (these are 8.5W).
All 64 bulbs I ordered work. No duds.
