I also got mine at Costco, and it only cost $8 after a rebate. It's not the perfect bulb, but for the price it exceeded my expectations.
The color is a great match for indoor use, definitely a warm light. I tested it next to a 65W bulb and the light output was indistinguishable to me. There is a small delay when it is turned on but it comes on at full brightness. The delay is a non-issue to me.
I don't intend to use it on a dimmer circuit, but I put it in one just to try it out. It definitely dims but it is neither smooth nor full range like a typical bulb. I tested it in a high ceiling location and the broad beam did not provide enough light at floor level.
But I am using this is a kitchen pantry and it is perfect for that location. I am going back to get more to use in our home office.

I bought a couple of these at Costco for $18 and then bought eight more from Menard's for $14. Not sure what is up with the one reviewer on this site. I use all of the bulbs in non-dimming locations, so I can't say anything about how they work in a dimming application. I have tried a few LED bulbs from Feit, Sylvania, and Philips on a dimmer, and none of them will work the full range of a standard dimmer the way an old bulb will. It could be that LED specific dimmers will work a whole lot better. As for packaging, well I guess I must have better scissors than the other reviewer. I have to say though that with LED bulbs being sold as "green" it would be nice to see a little less waste on Feit's packaging.Along with the positive review on this site I have to say that next to the 65 watts bulbs I replaced these with the look is exactly the same, and they flood just as high as what they replaced. I do feel that the output is higher than the 65 watters. Turn on is not instant. I notice about half to one second turn on delay if they have been off for awhile. This just seems to be a trait of the LED bulbs I have tried. Like all things in life it will not be an issue once one gets use to this. At first you find yourself thinking you did not flip the switch all the way on; but, after a few weeks you just get use to your lights taking half a second to turn on.

I bought 4 of them for a standard, indoor, non-dimming application. 1 burned out after a few months.Still better than CFLs.
Honest reviews on Feit BR30/DM/LED LED Dimmable BR30 Reflector
This review is perhaps years premature since I have only suggestions how long the lamps will last. The color is appropriately warm. The fraction-of-a-second delay in on-time convinces me my central nervous system is still functioning well, but the annoying warm-up time that formed my compromised opinion of the CFLs that these units replaced is now only a memory. The most trying aspect was freeing the lamps from their superbly protective packaging. Not only were they well isolated from impact with their well welded containers, they were also -initially -well isolated from me. The solution was using a utility knife to cut an opening below the flare big enough to insert the blade of a good pair of scissors and then completing a circumferential cut around the cylinder .Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Feit BR30/DM/LED LED Dimmable BR30 Reflector
Finally a good led replacement for incandescent BR30 lights. I have been using cfl lights but don't like the long warm up time they take to come to full light output. I've tried other led BR30 bulbs but they are either too white or are narrowly focused like a spot light. These are virtually indistinguishable from older incandescent bulbs in light color output and light dispersion characteristics. I haven't used them with a dimmer so I can't comment on that issue. There is the slightest delay when switched on, but most people won't notice this, I'm guessing about 1/10 second. Amazon limited quantity to three at purchase. What gives with this??????
