Picked one of these up at Wally World last year on a whim, was not thrilled with its output at all or its yellow-brown color tint. Lasted about 3-4 months, minimal use, then it went into super dim mode. Couldn't find the receipt (my bad, but who files and keeps light bulb receipts?) so ended up tossing it. For the moment Flourescent is still the lumens per watt leader, I'm sticking with CFL's until these are perfected. GE says they invented LED's, is that correct? You'd thus think they could get it right, so much for that.

I have a good bit of electronics experience so figured if I had to toss it I would at least investigate the failure and maybe harvest the emitters, after much frustration I got it apart finally and see that all the electronics on the driver board have been encased in a potting compound, which almost certainly retains the heat in the components rather than let the air shed it away to the heatsink. Purely speculatory but I suspect this is what caused the unit to fail as the individual emitters tested good.

I would avoid this particular line from an otherwise reputable manufacturer until their supplier gets their act together with a better design. It does leave a bad taste in your mouth when you buy a product looking to save money and it ends up costing as much as 8 of the CFL's you bought it to save money on not buying.

I bought one of every PAR30 LED bulbs that I could find in local retail and electrical supply shops. Several are slow to light Sylvania, Philips, EcoBrite. GE is instant on, but throws a narrow beam most suitable for high ceilings. Best of the lot were FEIT and Kimberly. Both are instant on with a good spread. FEIT is also sold at Lowes as UtiliTech. Kimberly is harder to find.

Bought the bulb a year, maybe two ago. Light was fine when it worked. Started working intermittently, now TOTALLY DEAD. Have other bulbs, not GE, purchased before this one which are still working fine. Would not recommend this bulb.

I highly recommend this LED light to replace a CFL porch light. It turns on instantly and uses a fraction of the energy used by CFL's. The light is more than adequate for a porch (flush ceiling mount) fixture.
