110v LED bulbs? Any experience with them?

[Frank]

I have been thinking of swapping out my CFL with LED dimmable. I have trust issues with these things for some reason. I don't care for the bluish tint some have. Has anyone converted their house to these and how do you like them?

Have 2 ceiling fans with them and they look more white than cfl and less noise. I like them

I have some LED bulbs in fixtures at the house. Got a great deal on them a while back. If they would drop the price of the BR30 can lights, Id swap them all out in the house.

Cree is the best manufacturer out there and is sold by Home Depot

We bought a few for the garage, attic, a couple lamps. Like them so well that we are in the process of switching all bulbs to LED. Whiter and brighter than CFL bulbs.

Does anyone have experience with LED floods? I have a few fixtures up high on my second story that only get about 6 months before they burn the regular bulbs out. Would love to not have to climb all the way up there twice a year.

Here's what I put in and they look excellent and are dimmable...

I switched all the BR30 can light bulbs out with FEIT brand dimmable LED's from Costco when we moved in. The color on them is nice (soft white, comparable to incandescent) and they come on instantly. I have not noticed any noise from them either.

The PO had CFL's in all the fixtures and they would take forever to warm up.

Been switching a couple every paycheck or so to the Cree LED. I like them especially in a small place like my guest bathroom. They put out way less heat in small places.

LEDs are the future. They offer different colors... the lower the kelvin, the more yellow the color. I prefer the 6,500k versions myself, I like the whiter light over the yellow.

I replaced one in my kitchen over the sink, it's REALLY bright! Instant on too. I want to replace more, just waiting on costs to drop.

I also installed LEDs under my cabinets and in my aquarium. I have not been disappointed with any purchase yet.

We need friends in California. These things always go on sale with local subsidies. Cree BR30s often are $10 (normally $25 here).

I'm in Cali right now, you're saying I should buy some and take em home?

yeah man... if you are willing to buy some (if your area gets the subsidy) and ship them, you could make a few bucks and help people out. If you are in the sacremento area, those Cree bulbs above are $10.97 right now... $24.95 here in DFW

I replaced the 6 BR30's in our kitchen with these dimmable LED's http://www.homedepot.com/p/EcoSmart-...0-DG/204853016

They give off a Whiter light, they're brighter than the bulbs that were in there. However, they won't dim to as low light as the regular bulbs will. They also come on kind of abruptly. If they're off and you only want them on a little you have to bring the dimmer up until they come on then move it back down a little. It's kind of a pain but I'm getting used to it.

Relamped the kitchen with 4100k LED's last summer. Love 'em. Whiter/brighter light & no heat.

I'm working in Monterey county but have friends in LA and a few other counties. I may ask them about picking up a box or two for my house. Hopping a flight to Vegas for the weekend so I'll check with them when I'm back in cali
