I have been slowly converting my entire house to LED lights for the last couple of years. As of right now, it is about 20 percent incandescent, 10 percent CCFL, 40% CFL and 25% LED. Despite my goal of eliminating all power hungry filament bulbs, its hard to find LED's that can replace Halogen and Candelabra lamps, since the fixtures are either dimmable, small or both.

So far, of the 20 Candelabra lamps, 10 are CFL, the rest so far have been incandescent. The LED's available to replace them have been either too large, non dimmable, too dim, too expensive or all four.

The Feit Candelabra LED's are the first Dimmable LED's that are just as bright or brighter than the 40W incandescent lamps they replace, and at a reasonable price of around $15. I got mine through Polarray which was linked through Amazon, but you can order it directly from them, just Google the name. Polarray appears to stock these when no one else has them available.

What you get:

True 40W replacement bulb at 300 Lumen or about 62.5 lumens per watt vs filament bulbs typically are less than 10 lumens per watt.

Pretty close to Incandescent light color at about 3000K. Strangely enough, they don't list the Kelvin, but I would say they are a bit Whiter than 2700K, at around 3000K 3200K. Haven't noticed any CRI issues.

The dimming works flawlessly with my standard ceiling fan incandescent dimmer. Note that on many ceiling fans that use the wireless remote, you may need to leave one incandescent in as a load. On my remote controlled ceiling fan in a different room with different LED's, using all LED bulbs made them flash constantly.

They are close to instant on.

They are very compact and will fit in most Candelabra fixtures.

They only use about 4.8W of power which is close to 90% less than the 40W incandescent they replace. In my case I went from 160W to under 20W.

Possible cons:

They are not "true" instant on. They have about a .5 second delay before turning on. The reason I mention it is because when I turn them on, there is just enough delay between me turning on the switch and my brain wondering, Where is the light? before they turn on. I also mention it because many other LED types I have are true instant on with zero delay, those are not.

They probably won't fare well long term in completely enclosed fixtures, especially small ones, since they will require some ventilation.

At $15 each, they are very reasonable for a LED, especially dimmable and 300 Lumen.

So far, I'm very happy with the 4 I got so far. I have an almost enclosed fixture that is just a hair too small for these to fit since it is designed for Candelabra globes. I plan on doing some minor modification and testing to see if I can make these fit, and see how well they hold up.

Very impressed with those. Been waiting for a bright and dimmable Candelbra LED and it appears it is finally here.

I wanted to replace the 40-watt incandescent bulbs on all of my ceiling fans with LEDs. When I saw that this bulb was labeled "40-watt replacement" on Amazon and that it was well priced, I bought two immediately, with the intent to buy more if they work well. They were delivered quickly and were well packaged. The bulbs look sturdy and have a good heft to them. After installing them on one of my ceiling fans, however, I see that they are not nearly as bright as the two replaced incandescent bulbs and are too dim for normal use. I then realize from the package that each bulb is rated only 300 lumens. To warrant a 40-watt replacement label, each bulb should give off at least 450 lumens. Although the bulb is not appropriately labeled, I feel responsible for not reading the description more carefully before buying, so I am keeping them (rather than returning them). I, however, will use them in one of the rarely used guest rooms instead. For 300-lumen bulbs, they look good, but I knock off two stars for the misleading label.

Honest reviews on Feit CFC/DM/310/LED LED Dimmable Clear Chandelier Flame Tip

Purchased two of these LED bulbs for my wife's Tiffany lamp in TV room. I constantly find it "on" when no one is in the room. Went from 80 watts to less than 10 by screwing two bulbs in. Did one at a time, and I could not tell the difference in brightness or color from the incandescent bulb.

These are great quality like the rest of my Feit LEDS, which all happen to be outside, Operate no matter what the temperature and have last three years so far.

I complaint, dang packaging is so wasteful and hard to get into!

I'll start out by saying that I really like the quality of light these bulbs give out, and I really wanted them to work for me. In fact, when they started burning out, I looked at the packaging and saw that they will last for 22,000 hours, so I took them back to the store and got an exchange. No problem.

I've done this now, three times, on each and every light I purchased. I originally bought 9 of them, at about $15 apiece. Not a single bulb lasted 30 days. Some only lasted 1-2 weeks. The local store has been exchanging them, with no question, but I'm simply too tired to keep it up.

This weekend, I'm boxing all 9 bulbs up and taking them back for a refund.

In short, these bulbs are a complete waste of money and time.
