LED report of what I got, oh by the way all the bulbs said on the box that they were dimmable ( Ha, by what means?)...............Ok first thing I did was plug then into an ordinary on off switch and all worked fine, all 32 bulbs.
Next thing I did was plug them into a light fixture with old dimmer switch ( before LED consumer availability), here is where the problems begin, yes they all went on to full brightness, but when dimmed they flickered, was still possible to get some dimming without flickering with some hand dexterity but but the bulbs would not shut off with the dimming arm or the switch part on the dimmer (the dimmer had 2 ways of turning off. And to make it worse even the switch on that dimmer device would not shut off the bulb, the bulb would just flicker at low light. Bottom line the bulb left into the socket would just flicker day and night for 10 years+ , a non-starter.
So I have 2 choices, give up dimming them or investigate a new dimming switch specifically invented for this problem.
Well I anticipated this problem as I needed the 90 watt bulbs for a very dark area and would give up the dimming. I never could buy a regular 90 watt non LED as they ( a 6 pattern) would overload my dimmer and burn it out in a short time, so this LED is low heat and low watts 5-6 each so this is just great, as was thinking of adding more fixtures and now do not have to go that expensive route.
Now for the 65 watt bulbs, I may have to change the dimmer because if I can get them to dim somehow with a new dimmer made for these bulbs I almost never ever have to change them way above the ceiling (11 feet high), and can install them with my suction pole not worrying about dropping and breaking during this process as they just cost 1.09.
So I will now enjoy a higher standard of living,more light
less heat lower cost and almost never have to do the contant reinstalls.
Now I wanted %25 off the bill so started to get a credit card filling out the forms.was rejected (think it was because I was booked for one years ago and not cancelled), anyway she took of 20% of bill as compensation making this purchase a hall of famer for me as thought I would have to wait till 2022 for LED bulbs to be that cheap.
