I've been buying the CREE's for $48 for the six pack.
Outside I run the 5000K and inside 2700K and love the looks of both in their locations. |

Sure, save the bulbs you replace and then put them back in and take the new LEDs with you when you move. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I've been perfectly happy with the Feit bulbs from Costco.
$40 for a 4-pack They're 2700K, but maybe you'd prefer that. |

I have a 75W equivalent LED in the lamp I read by. Just about everything else in the house has been replaced by Cree 60W equivalent bulbs or 60W equivalent Walmart bulbs which I picked up for around $4.00 each.
I have a stockpile of regular bulbs but the damn things were burning out in weeks. Some of my fixtures in ceilings were too hard to change so I figured LEDs would save me from falling down stairwells and breaking my neck trying to change bulbs all the time. I haven't seen any difference in my electric usage. |

I am doing my whole 30 x 45 building with led cree daylights. Looks better and will light up better in the winter than fluorescent tubes.

I have replaced my recessed lighting with these. I tried one of the led bulbs in the old recessed light housing and hated it too.

I won't be buying any more Cree POS light bulbs. 75 watt $18.00 LED light bulb I posted about a few weeks ago burned out already. I probably had it a total of two months but no longer have the receipt. I bought LED bulbs thinking they would last for years. No such luck with this one. I'll stick to buying Walmart LEDs at $4.00 before wasting any more money on Cree crap.

It of course can seen in a lot of pics, which pisses me off to no end.

80% of the bulbs in my house are LEDs now. I should have over 90% by the end of the year.

Same here - I've converted my whole house to the Cree and TCP LEDs except for the dining room chandelier and a couple flood lights outside. I have a mixture of the 40/60/75/100 watt equivalent bulbs as well as 16 TCP LED candelabra bulbs. Probably have $500+ invested into them. Most of the bulbs replaced were CFLs, but the instant on and the ability to turn them on/off repeatedly without affecting life sold me (bathrooms/closets). |
