Better Homes & Gardens A19 LED Vintage Bulb, 4.5W, 40W Equivalent, E26 Medium Base, Dimmable, 2-Pack

Perfect. Exactly what i was hoping for.

These bulbs emit a soothing glow rather than a harsh glare like standard light bulbs. The package says each will last 13 years (when used three hours a day) so that is impressive. They have a standard 'medium' base and fit well into the sockets of my side-table lamps. They are dimmable but can be used in non-dimmable lamps. Care was taken when preparing for shipping with the use of Styrofoam noodles, so they arrived in perfect condition.

This is a two pack of LED bulbs. These are styled as vintage which means that the filiaments are exposed. Plusses are that as LED's they should last a long time. They are dimmable. The box claims a 13 year life based on using these for 3 hours a day. These are billed as 40 watt equivalents and use 4.5 watts. The estimated yearly cost, based on 3 hours a day and 11 cents per KWH is $0.54. These do have a 1 year warranty. For me, the soft white color is not the same as a regular bulb and these do not provide the same amount of light as a regular bulb. I don't know if that is because these are billed as "vintage" style or if it is because they are LED. I do know that the LED lights at work are very bright and we run half the light fixtures that we did with non-LED lights. The elements had a different glow than the picture on the box. But, if you are okay with a slightly less bright light than a standard bulb, these would be great. I could see them working well in a situation where you need a low light solution versus where you need a brighter light solution. In my case, I tried these in a bedroom with a single lamp and the light just wasn't enough for my needs.

I wanted a lower watt, soft light with a yellow cast as an alternative to the soft white 60w bulbs I had in an area used for sitting and reading in the evenings. These are good for that, giving the area a soft light while using a Kindle. Will look for same product in a 25watt.

This is a fun lighting choice for a vintage retro look but with the latest technology in mind! A long lasting LED bulb in a soft white light that is also dimmable. It is great for accent lighting, perfect for bedside and we are happy with this choice.

I have these bulbs in bright white and love that they are dimmable because they will wake you up with the brightness so I was excited to receive these in the soft yellow light . I must admit , I miss the soft light and with them being dimmable , you can adjust them up when needed. The clear glass lends that vintage vibe and if they truly last 13 years then that's a cost saving to me …win !

I lighting from these medium base LED clear 40W bulbs is just what I needed. The clear glass is nice and the fact that they are dimmable is a plus. They are energy efficient and even though 40 watt watt they are equivalent to only 4.5. They come with a 1 year guarantee and are made to last. They are perfect for my bedroom lamp and set off a nice warm glow to my room.

I remember seeing light bulbs like these years ago. I am reviewing Better Homes& Gardens LED vintage style light bulbs. I have the soft white and they give out a soft glow light. I don't have any decorative lighting instead I used in a small lamp. These are 40 watt equivalent and only use 4.5 watts of energy. I have placed on my vanity in the main bathroom. They are clear where you can see inside. They have a medium base like most LED bulbs. They may not be compatible with all dimmers. I really love the look.

These bulbs are best for somewhere like a bedroom, a living room, or a den because the color that the lightbulb produces is not white light. This is not a bad thing because the soft pinkish glow is soothing and appropriate for areas that harsh or bright light is unwanted. You would not use this bulb, for instance, in a lamp for a desk or in the kitchen. The cool glow softens shadows. The retro look of the filament seen through the clear glass of the bulb is fun, but of course you shouldn't look directly at a bulb! So be aware that if you want to use the lightbulb in a lamp or light fixture that holds more than one bulb, you would need to replace all the bulbs with the same type. See attached photos.

When the Edison style light bulbs became fashionable a few years ago, I bought numerous ones for lamps in our home. Loved the look and the elongated glass bulb but the filaments seem to break easily and the life was short. These LED bulbs are vintage style but the filaments appear to me to be sturdier. I am thinking they will last longer. The box says thirteen years for life and I will be happy to get half that. I got the 40 watt soft white bulbs and they do have a bit of a yellow cast to them. I am using them in lamps that are not really reading lamps because I do not think they would be bright enough. But they provide a nice soft glow in our family room.
