Great Eagle LED 23W Light Bulb (Replaces 150W – 200W) A21 Size with 2640 Lumens, Non-Dimmable, 5000K Daylight, UL Listed (2-Pack)

After looking at the lumen specs on these lights compared to 150w and 200w incandescents (along with the great reviews), it seemed that this was likely a true rating and I gave them a chance. I'd guess they are equivalent to an average of a 175W incandescent bulb, give or take, just as they are claimed to be. This is to say tath the bulbs are VERY bright compared to what they replaced. And the honesty of the company is commendable, as manufacturers frequently overrate their bulbs.I first purchased 2700K bulbs for inside the house. I bought two 2-packs and replaced two 23W CFLs in one lamp and replaced a 38W CFL in another lamp. As far as 23W CFL vs 23W LEDs, the LEDs are vastly brighter. Comparing the 23W to a 38W CFL, the LED is still markedly brighter. I used a very decent lux meter on my phone to compare the bulbs. Up close, and at a distance, the 2700K 23W LED produced about 50% more lumens than the 38W CFL it replaced. The lamp with two CFLs that were switched with LEDs got an even larger increase in lumens, something along the line of 80% more lumens. These are differences that are VERY noticeable. All 4 of the bulbs work and both lamps are on for about 12 hours a day, a main reason to get more power efficient bulbs in them (long with superior brightness.)Once I felt good about the 23W 2700K bulbs I bought, I decided that the backyard lighting also needed upgrading, but this time to the 5000K 23W LED bulbs. By the way I absolutely love that there are 4 colors choices for this bulb, it makes them very versatile. I take out my dog several times at night to pee and all 4 bulbs are required to see well in the dark. I ended up replacing three 100W incandescent bulbs (that had many hours on them) and a Cree 18W, 1600 lumen bulb in the last fixture.I opted for the 5000K version since they make it much easier to see what you are looking at compared to the yellow bulbs. I live in an area with Mountain Lions and Black Bears, so I need to see as well as possible. I would not go any lower than 4000K for outdoor (which is mostly neutral, but has just a hint of warmness, whereas the 5000K bulbs are PURE white with no yellow or blue that I can detect) bulbs. Anyway, the switch from incandescent to 5000K LEDs subjectively seemed to double the light output in each area. The 1600 lumen Cree 18W LED also got a great boost by going with this bulb.All 8 bulbs (1 backup) worked immediately and draw 22W according to my wattmeter. The 2700K bulbs already have a couple hundred hours on them without a hiccup. You never know when technology will die, but I believe these lights will be good for a very long time. So far I'm very impressed!Update: I've now also purchased the 4000K version of these lights to help with growing Bonsais in my house. 4000K is an optimal temperature for leaf growth and it certainly shows in the growth of my trees. It's being used as side lighting in order to fill in the back of a Bonsai which is more sparse than the front. Anyway, just like the 2700K and 5000K high watt Great Eagle bulbs, this bulb puts out tons of light, and in my situation, also helps plant growth to a strong degree.Update: I've brought another Bonsai tree inside the house due to cool nights, this time a beautiful Bougainvillea tree that was shipped to me in a hot box and took over 8 days for me to receive. I had to immediately repot due to fire ants in the soil. So I bare-rooted the tree and root pruned it so it had about 2/3 of its roots left. I also put it in an inorganic mix of Akdama, lava rock, and pumice, which is the same mixture as I use for all of my Bonsais. Needless to say, this tree was stressed after a long ride in a box with high heat, no light, being immediately root pruned and repotted in a completely different type of soil.This is where the lights come in. On its way to my house, the tree lost all of its leaves because of the stress. I'm now using a couple of overhead LED grow lights and four 23W Great Eagle lights in the four corners of the tree. I'm using two that are 4000K and two that are 2700K in order to get a range of spectrums for my flowering tree. The included pictures are of the Bougainvillea that was leaf-less less than 10 days ago and a Willow leaf ficus that is getting supplemental light from 23W Great Eagle 4000K bulbs (this tree is much more developed). These bulbs are awesome and put out extreme light.

These were the best overall value I could find on Amazon for a 150W-200W equivalent daylight LED bulb. I was a little hesitant to buy these at first because of some of the reviews stating that these bulbs didn't work or stopped working for them after a short amount of time. But after reading reviews of comparable, more expensive LED bulbs, I realized you're always going to have some customers with these problems. One caveat I read is that these bulbs should not be used with a dimmer even if you leave the dimmer fully on.So far, so good for me. I tested both bulbs and they worked fine out of the box. I've been using one of them for a couple of weeks now without any issues.The brightness and color temperature are just what I was looking for. It's bright enough to light up a dark room well without being too bright. I have some other LED bulbs in the same room that supposedly have a 5000k color temperature but those are unpleasant at night. This bulb looks fine at night, though I still try not to use it much at night because it is so bright and "daylight."Overall, highly recommended!

These bulbs are excellent. The brightness is as described (150 - 200 watts). There is no flickering whatsoever, and they come to full brightness the moment they are turned on. Before purchasing, I was afraid the 5,000 K color temperature would be a little yellow for my taste, but actually it is just perfect for my kitchen and bathroom or anywhere that daylight lighting is desired. This color temperature is much easier on the eyes compared to the higher/harsher ones I used before. I also bought some soft white bulbs from Great Eagle a year ago, and they have been performing flawlessly ever since. Great Eagle also provides first class customer support if it is ever needed.

I've purchased 8 of these in total for my workshop, only three remain. These are advertised as a 25,000 lifespan, I've gotten less than a 10th of that. Average lifespan has been in the range of 1500 hours. You will be replacing frequently.

I originally purchased 2 packages (4 bulbs) of the 23W LED bulbs. 3 of the 4 worked perfectly, but the 4th delayed turning on and was only half as bright as the others. I contacted the seller, and received a refund within a few days. I ordered a replacement package and they all work now.As to the bulbs, they are very bright. I'd liken them to the old bright flood lamps in brightness, but the light spread is much more narrow. The light is very clean white light. It doesn't have the blue tint you sometimes get with these white LED lights. My only dislike, and it's only a matter of preference, is that only half of the bulb is translucent. That does make it a good fit for outdoor lighting that points towards the ground, but not for vanity lighting, as you expect some of the light to bounce of the mirror as well, and these bulbs do not do that.

I love these i recommend for all!!! These are what we used to have as kids in all light fixtures. They are white! Super bright. Don't get hot. Old school light bulb. You might be hesitant on price... don't !! BUY NOW! You will be happy. I got a bad bulb out of 12 from shipping. Seller gave a full refund. I need more money to buy more. I have 16 already. Replacing all my GREEN poisones mercury fluorescents bulbs that California recommends. These are the best bulbs. It has been 15 years since i had a white bright bulb here in Kalifornia. Now i found these!Buy you will not regret, i promise.Just bought 12 more! Sooo happy.Put them in every fixture. So nice to see bright white light again. Now i see my wrinkles... and age. Ha
