They put only a fraction of the claimed light (probably measured after they've been on for a long time). Mine doesn't dim well, takes forever to come on, and never gets bright enough to be useful. I've gone back to incandescent. What a piece of crap these things are. They put only a fraction of the claimed light (probably measured after they’ve been on for a long time).

You were going to post back temperature, wattage, etc. I purchased one of these and put it into my living room (have 8 recessed lights) and it did dim, but not sure IF I AM READY TO PULL THE trigger, to get the rest. These are going for $11.99 each at Home Depot, so almost $100! I also have 8 additional recessed cans in the kitchen, so that in total would be $200. Do you know of an online retailer that has a better deal? Thank you in advance, Kevin How are these working over the last month?
