Purchased one of these bulbs at a local big-name hardware store as well. Placed it in a standard upright table lamp that I'd previously had a flourescent in. I only received about ten hours of light over 7-10 days before the bulb began to flicker and finally failed. It was turned on and left on in a plain lamp for a couple hours at a time and then turned off again: no dimmer, no fancy light fixtures, no touch lamp. I haven't been able to identify any reason for it to fail so quickly. I put the flourescent bulb back in the lamp.
While the LED bulb DID work, it was excellent did not hurt my eyes, no glare on the computer screen nearby, very soft but vivid white glow. Also important to me: bulb remains very, very cool while in use and exudes extremely little warmth.
Also, on a customer service note -worth considering with your purchase, I think:
Instead of just returning it to the store, since it failed a week in, I decided to follow the contact info on the package and contact the manufacturer instead.
Got in touch with Feit a few days after I sent them an email, got asked a few questions about how long I used the bulb before it failed, and was told I'd be sent a replacement no replacement arrived, and about ten days later I received a few more messages instructing me that actually before I could get a replacement I'd have to have the bulb I already had shipped to them and "tested." Asked if they could provide a mailing label for me to ship their faulty bulb back (rather than paying half the cost of the item to ship it back to them), and still haven't receieved a responce.
Willing to accept this may be a fluke or simple mistake but it was a little disappointing! Will be updating my review accordingly if/when I receive a replacement, but in the meantime between the strange turnaround of my replacement request and how quickly the bulb failed I would not yet recommend this product to anyone -at least not until it's been out on the market a little longer.

I own a lot of led lights and this is the first true incandescent replacement I have seen. I've been wanting to switch over to LED lighting for some time because of the mercury seen in CFL (compact fluorescent light) bulbs, and because CFL's never last as long as they say they're going to last. LED bulbs last a LONG time and are very energy efficient. The price should come down as these bulbs become more mainstream but until now, LED bulbs weren't really good enough to replace your current incandescent of CFL. These particular bulbs are definitely good enough to replace your standard incandescent bulb. Sylvania makes one that looks very similar but the price at the local store was $10 higher than this bulb.Best Deals for Feit Electric A19/HP/LED 5-LED High Performance A19 Bulb, 7.5-Watt
Just bought this A19 bulb from a local "big box" retailer for $18. I have it installed in my desk lamp. The color is good (3000 degrees kelvin). It's not quite as "yellow" or warm as an incandescent bulb but it's close. Manufacturer claims that power consumption is 6.5 watts, 340 lumens, 30000 hours of life, 84% more efficient relative to a standard incandescent bulb. It's warm to the touch but not hot. Not intended for use with dimmers. I'm not one to notice, but I understand that these lights don't "strobe" like CFL bulbs do. Efficiency is 25-40% better than CFL, but the cost is 10x higher. If cost come down a bit more, I'd probably buy this again.Honest reviews on Feit Electric A19/HP/LED 5-LED High Performance A19 Bulb, 7.5-Watt
Bought this at big box retailer for about 20$ and it produces more light than a condescend bulb and a compact florescent. Definately a white-ish light but not really bright enough to blind anyone when you step outside and provides good enough light to be able to see the keyhole to the house, If you are considering indoor light or outfoor light that is covered so it doesn't get wet then this light is for you! Also Feit is probably one of the good companies to buy LED from right now, Phillips is also but if choice, go for FeitFind helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Feit Electric A19/HP/LED 5-LED High Performance A19 Bulb, 7.5-Watt
This bulb is the best bang for your buck when it comes to LED bulbs. This is by far the cheapest 40 watt replacement bulb, and it only draws 6.5 watts, the next best thing is Sylvania's A19 replacement, but it costs $5 to $10 more, and it draws 8 watts. This bulb looks like an incandescent bulb--you can't even notice it when it's screwed into a socket, and the light is much whiter than an incandescent, but not harsh like a fluorescent. As a result, the perceived light output is similar to that of a 60 watt incandescent. Also, the LED bulbs do not flicker like CFLs. I have replaced every A19 bulb in my home with these and do not miss the incandescents at all! I would recommend these bulbs to everyone, as long as you're not looking for a bulb with dimming capability, as these cannot dim.DO NOT BUY THIS BULB FROM AMAZON--YOU CAN BUY THESE FROM LOWES FOR ONLY $18!
