Do these get really hot?
I would assume not, since they don't even have a heat sink. Certainly no warmer than a CFL, and nowhere near incandescent.

How does the color compare to an incandescent? The wife is extremely picky about that.
I have a bathroom fixture that looks exactly like that - you're not supposed to put A19 bulbs in there, you're supposed to put in G25 bulbs. A19 bulbs are meant to be put in fixtures with diffusers, like most overhead lights, and they make few concessions to direct viewing. G25 bulbs are big spheres, and most designs are intended to for bare bulb installations.I bought a ton of these for my bathrooms after testing out a pack.
I have those same strips of lights in my bathroom. 12 total. I've replaced every bulb in the house, except for those lol. There's just so many. I've already bought 26 of these lights and they're already gone and I still have to get 8 more for my mom's house too.
I bought a ton of these for my bathrooms after testing out a pack. I have 3 & 4-bulb user-facing open lighting strips above each bathroom mirror in my house; I haven't found any LED bulbs until these ones that were suitable for direct-vision viewing. They are still a teeny bit too bright, but we've gotten used to them. They provide so much more light than the old bulbs, they are awesome! Excellent price too :thumbsup:

2015 and how come your bathroom lights look like this? Looks so 80s. My bathroom have these lights too. I went to HD and all they had were those lights to buy.
thanks op , but you can find more cheap stuff from myled as well .
1 of my bulbs seemed dead at first, I unscrewed it and then put it back in a little tighter and it lit up and has been working fine. Or try it in another socket before you bother trying to get warranty.
Great post OP. I picked up a 2 pack at lunch. I already have a small surplus of 60 equivalent LEDS. This price too good to pass up. Since we are on LED..... Silly question... I have 2 fixtures; that state no more than 40 watts. Is it safe to put in a 60 watt equivalent that is using 6.5 (or whatever) watts? Yes? No?
I know the wattage cap is USUALLY heat driven. I have several brands of 60's, some of the bases do get hot. A GE one, the bulb actually gets hot, which was surprising. I will check these out tonight.
Do these get as hot as an incandescent? I don't think so.
I cant WAIT for 75's to go on these type of sales. I can ONLY DREAM of 100's LOL.
