Great price for a great bulb. I bought 20 of these a couple of months ago from EarthLED at a little over $5/bulb and replaced most CFL's: better light, 1/2 the power. Also bought 10 of the 60w equivalent. Very good.
Funny thing is, I still haven't bought any LED lights for the house. Not one. I have a lot of CFLs yet and some are older ones that I paid plenty for. Now with me not working I'll wait until some of my CFLs are used up and LEDs get better and cheaper.
A little disappointed to see the actual price considering other deals I've seen on 60w equivs. After all the talk here about the led bulbs, been wanting to try an LED bulb, so the local Shoprite (which seems to have pretty good deals on lots of things if you follow their weekly flyer) had Sylvania 60w equiv, 10w 2700k, 800 lumens 25k hours for $5 a piece (half price), so I got 2. They're okay. Price has to come down a lot more on them.
Not crazy about the way they dim in a regular rotary dimmer--- basically just 3 steps: dim, medium, and bright, and if you don't have the setting right on the dimmer, they flicker. But they'd be good in places where cfl's don't work real well, like in the refrigerator, or in a closet where the cfl's don't have a chance to get full bright -- good when the price comes down a little more, anyway.

2700K is a little too warm for me. 3000 is better but I like mid 3K colors. Stuff like the fridge I don't sweat since there on just for a moment at a time. I like the Mr Beam battery powered motion lights I put in the bathrooms not long ago. I put two in each bathroom so when I get up at night to go I don't get blinded by the quartz vanity lights.
The SunSun I got from EarthLED are 3000K -- very nice, very dimmable, no flickering, no noise, even dim-down until just before out, then out completely. Yes, spent the money and now have a bunch of CFL's, but quality of life has improved, monthly electric bill has decreased, the air is a bit cleaner, and climate change is just a little more tempered.
Bulbs arrived today. I likee. They sent 3,000K instead of 2,700K listed. And 450 lumen instead of 400.

I can get them pretty cheap here locally because of power company instant rebates. If you wanted me to I could buy and ship them to you if you covered the purchase price and shipping.

No problem.
I have probably bought close to 1000 of them so far for relatives here and there all over the US.
The Home Depot that I go to has the zip of 98012 and you can see the prices online.

Hey now loadstarken, I pay utility rates to fund those rebates! You're stealing from me. JK, I don't know.

I know they say LEDs are better than CFLs but the 100 watt replacements are pricey ($100) and its not the big wattage difference I had going from incandescent to CFL. But the lower wattage replacement are getting pretty cheap if you look for a deal. And i use so little electric that If I use a little more power it wont raise my bill much and when you average everything in on my bill, for example my last one... I used 245 KWh and my KWh charge was .1855 averaged out. But if I use another 100 KWh it would bring my KWh cost down to .13 per KWh. Thats with a $11.45 hook up charge and some other lesser charges ie. low income assistance etc. i think my whole bill was $46 and change. I wish i could go off the grid sometimes and actually now i am considered low income myself so I would get an extra 30% rebate from the state on too of another renate or credit but its still too much moola for me!
