Brightech Ambience PRO LED Energy Efficient 2 Watt Warm White 2500K Dimmable Bulb - Outdoor String Lights – Edison-Inspired Exposed Filaments - 15 Pack - E26 Base

I bought the Brightech Ambience PRO LED string light set last year. Although the bulbs should last for many years, one has already died. Fortunately, I reasoned, I had purchased a replacement bulb set at the time; however, when I replaced the defective bulb, it was noticeably brighter than the others. Although the stampings on the bulbs are identical (apart from a ring that was black but is now white), the lighting effect is clearly not, and this matters because they must be dimmed as low as possible. The packaging did say 250 lumens and 2700K warmth, which I took note of. I thought this new online listing for bulbs with 200 lumens and 2500K warmth must be a better match when I saw it. Because the packaging is now blank, it's difficult to tell the exact specs of what I received, though the base stampings do say 2500K. Regrettably, the result remains unchanged - These new bulbs are brighter than the old ones (as seen in the photo) and are the same color temperature as the 2700K bulbs from last year. What this tells me is that Brightech is lying about the bulbs they sell; I wouldn't mind if the ability to dim them wasn't so important, but it is, so I'm not sure what else to do but return these as they don't match the description.

If you have the Brightech list set, you must purchase these. Even though the bulbs have a long warranty, try getting a bulb from them; you won't be able to do so without a lot of effort. After a month, one of the bulbs on my Brightech light strings went bad. When I contacted them about the failed bulb, they responded with a full page of instructions for determining whether or not the bulb was defective. I was a little more astute than that. The light string is made up of standard base light bulbs, which are found in almost every home, so that was the next thing I did. The first step was to make sure the bulb was securely fastened in the socket, and the second was to test it with a standard LED bulb from my house. After receiving the email from Bulbtech, I went out and purchased the 15 replacement bulbs. They stopped responding to me after I informed them that I had tested the bulb in my home and that it did not light up to full brightness. In any case, they do not readily honor their warranties, and in my case, they did not honor it at all.

I bought the original Brightech Edison-style string. We bought these style patio lights four years ago and have been enjoying them on our back patio ever since. Over the last few months, three of the original fifteen bulbs, located at various points along the string, have become very dim - They appear to be almost turned off because they are so dim - However, unlike an incandescent bulb, they did not completely burn out. The light strand itself (wiring/sockets/insulation) and the other 2012 bulbs are still in good condition, so we ordered these replacement bulbs to restore the string to 100%. br>br>The original bulbs were rated for 25,000 hours of operation (equivalent to 4 years x 365 days x 17 hours per day! I'd say they've only seen about 1,000 hours of runtime in the four years they've been around. a time frame of one year These bulbs are listed as 2700K (the same as the originals) and appear to be a good match for the remaining 12 bulbs in terms of color and appearance. It's also worth noting that these are listed as having a 200 lumen output rather than a 300 lumen output. the first 250-word essay Lumen bulbs included in the string - The brightness of the two batches of bulbs, however, does not differ. The replacement bulbs were, on the whole, a good buy.

Except when the bulbs break. I bought these lights for my backyard wedding last summer and they were perfect. br>We carefully stored them in their original box (even keeping the individual bubble wrap for each bulb). br>This summer, we strung them around the perimeter of our vinyl fence in the back yard. (I used plastic-coated wire to attach them to the fence. ) I coated wire from post to post, attached small clamps to each light, and clipped them to the wire (a lot of work, but I wanted to be able to remove them quickly when it got cold). And I adore the way it turned out. br>However, it got pretty hot last week (in the 90s for three days), and I discovered that three of the glass bulbs had broken away from their metal bases. The base of the bulb was still in the socket, but the glass bulb had broken and lay unbroken in the grass. br>I hadn't intended to turn off the lights until the end of the summer season. Is there a limit to how hot these bulbs can get outside? It's as if the socket's 'glue' isn't sticking to the glass.

There are probably seven strings in the back yard and five more in the vicinity of the horses for feeding. Burnout has been a frequent occurrence in my life. LEDs were supposed to last indefinitely, didn't they? There are only a few of these. They are not only two years old, but they are also constantly. I recently purchased 30 to replace the bulbs that were no longer functional. Two of the thirty items I ordered did not work. I was unable to locate a return policy. Since replacing these, there has been a hail storm, so I'll need another 45. I'm undecided as to whether or not I'll purchase these bulbs.

If the scene you're lighting is important, you should expect a significant difference from the incandescent bulbs you're replacing. These bulbs have a distinct physical appearance, with nothing feeling cheap or thin about them. They'll slide into their waterproof sockets with ease. There were no disappointments in their construction when I installed all 15 right out of the box. The light. br>br> Expect nothing like the joy you felt the first time you plugged in your incandescent string. Expect a lumen output nearly double that of an incandescent bulb and half the heat. If I've just given up some of my warmth in exchange for longevity and efficiency. I'm going to be- okay.

It was a chore to unpack everything after that. The colors are extremely vivid. Due to a lack of supplies, we were forced to use last year's lights to light the middle bush. (Photos are available. ) What a stark contrast! The appearance of these LED lights is "warm. " Did I mention how bright they are? I mean that in a positive light. Without fear of blowing a fuse, up to 45 strands of 17 feet each can be linked back to back. They're pricey, but with a three-year warranty and no bulb replacements, the cost will be justified if they last that long or longer. I wish I had placed a larger order.
