PROS

* not fugly! looks like a regular vanity light bulb

(this was selling point for me; home improvement store had only ugly bulbs with metallic fins all over the place)

* color temperature very close to incandescent bulb; manufacturer says 3000° K, which looks to be about right.

* excellent efficiency (150 lumens, 1.7 watts)

* packaging protects product, but it's VERY easy to open (first ever for plastic clam shell packaging?)

* claimed lifespan (37.4 years based on 3 hrs/day)

* claimed yearly energy cost (20 cents per year based on 3 hrs/day and 11 cents/kWh)

CONS

* upfront cost per bulb

* may not be as bright as you expect (perfect for me, by the way)

I ordered 6 bulbs (for the somewhat ridiculous price of 4 Andrew Jacksons, including tax).

These are to replace the CFL (aka "twisty" kind, if you don't know) bulbs in my bathroom vanity.

I screwed one in at work and it is dimmer than a 45-watt Philips flood, but it's also using about 1/25th the power.

(Unscientifically, it looks like 1/2 or 1/3 the brightness.)

I will update this review when I have all of them installed and have used them for a few days.

By the way, Amazon's specs say 80 lumens. Manufacturer says 150 lumens.

SO I've included all specs from product packaging.

---------------

Model BPG25/LED

10 LEDs (Amazon says 28)

Brightness 150 lumens

Color Temperature 3000 K

Energy Used 1.7 watts

Life (37.4 years based on 3 hrs/day)

Yearly energy cost (20 cents per year based on 3 hrs/day and 11 cents/kWh)

UPDATE DAY 1

As advertised on the packaging, these light up instantly. No delayed start.

My bathroom vanity has 6 light bulb sockets total to light up the whole bathroom/shower area.

So far, I installed 3 of these LED globes next to the existing CFL bulbs.

The old CFLs are rated at 9W and, when fully warmed up, they a visibly brighter than the LEDs.

See the customer photo uploaded by user BVG.

Even if I only had 3 light bulb sockets, these might not be enough light output.

But seeing as I have 6, there's no question that these will be more than adequate.

Bought 12 of these for my bathroom remodel and they look great.

Nice clean white light.

My "old" incandescent bulbs were using 300 watts (12 bulbs x 25 watts each) and after changing them out for these LED's I'm only using 15 watts total (12 x 1.3 watts each).

@ were broken on arrival and Amazon shipped me replacements immediately.

Great product backed by great service.

Ya can't go wrong.

Best Deals for Feit Electric BPG25/LED/RP Accent LED G25 Globe Bulb, Soft White

I purchased these bulbs after reading another reviewer used them in their bathroom lighting. These would not fit in many fixtures, since they are rather large. However, for strip vanity lighting like you see in many bathrooms, these are very practical. They also look great in the vanity lighting array.

I replaced 14 40w bulbs with these. Going from 560 total watts to 28 total watts is a significant reduction in usage! Additionally, these were a whiter light than the incandescent bulbs we were using, and more ideal for bathroom usage.

I am hoping we get a long life out of these bulbs, and if we do, they will be excellent value for the money.

Honest reviews on Feit Electric BPG25/LED/RP Accent LED G25 Globe Bulb, Soft White

I accidentally bought this bulb for my bathroom vanity (I needed a smaller base). When I realized my mistake, I ordered the proper bulb and decided to use this one in my living room. I put it in my main light, but it was very dim, so we eventually put the CFL back in that light and put the LED in the light on the end table. In both lamps, this bulb has an intermittent flicker that's quite annoying. I hate to waste the money that I spent on this bulb, so we keep using it and just turn the light on when we need a bit of extra brightness. I will avoid this brand of LED bulbs in the future; the flicker is inexcusable. That being said, I don't have a flicker problem with the other bulb (same brand) that I bought to fit in my bathroom lights.

Great bathroom bulb for a light bar above the vanity. We had a seven bulb unit that we had four 40 watt bulbs and three 25 watt bulbs. I replaced these with seven LEDs and they provide nice light and we are saving 223 watts of electricity every time we flip the switch.
