I wonder if this style LED will become less common now that LED filament bulbs are a pretty good alternative. Interesting that Home Depot sourced these from a different company than TCP.

I haven't tried any filament LEDs yet. I've been sourcing my LEDs from the ReStore at $1 or $2 each. If they start getting the filament LEDs I may try them out.

I bet you're right though; the filament style may take top slot (at least in places where clear lamps were used) but these lamps might remain in enclosed fixtures, since you can't see the lamp. I'm still trying to find decently-priced 100W= LEDs. I only recently started seeing the 75W= ones show up at the ReStore for $2 each. Can't beat that! they're still like $12 a lamp here. You can buy a three pack of the 40 or 60W= LEDs for around $10 though. Incredible how low the price as gone. I remember when most were over $20 a pop just five short years ago.

The GEs are dirt cheap here, 2-some dollars for a single bulb, or 10-some for a 4-pack at my local Fred Meyer.

The GE brite stick LEDs are pretty cheap but they're also dimmer. 700 and change lumens instead of 800. They'd be equal to a typical double-life 60W incandescent but I want bright lol. Ironic how the BRITE stick lamps are dimmer. Laughing

Dim-stick! Laughing I can see their uses with their shape though, really narrow fixtures, in chandeliers replacing flame shaped incandescents, and the like.

Yeah the size of the lamp is great since they fit in small fixtures. I commend them for that. The Brite-Sticks definitely won't last as long since they're so compact and have no heatsinking but honestly I don't care about how long it lasts (as long as it's at par with CFLs) as long as it saves energy and is as bright or brighter than what it replaces lol. Maybe someday they'll have "long life" LEDs and "standard life" LEDs. The standard ones might last 10K hours and the long life ones last 20K hours.

actually some of the cheap Utlitech led bulbs are rated 5,000 hrs, theres definetly a market for both long and short life leds
streetlight98   [Sep 29, 2016 at 02:34 AM]
Yeah, I mean, even if the LEDs don't last a super long time, the energy savings will still be great enough to justify the switch. And places that are maintenance cost-sensitive will use the longer-life lamps. We have regular 1000HR incandescent lamps original to my house (2003) that still work fine. Granted they're not used much but the point is, a long life LED clearly isn't necessary there since even the short-lived incandescent lamps have lasted over a decade. A 5000HR LED would last well over half a century at the same rate lol.

I bought a pack of those Brightstik LEDs at Restore but I haven't tried them yet. Cheap LEDs have a use in infrequently used lights like closets, the fridge or even temporary lighting. For general lighting, I prefer better built LEDs.
