High Failure Rate in My U.S. Based Fixture
Began to flicker in 60 Hz 120V service (USA) after about one year in service. Have a 5 light fixture in the kitchen, and installed these bulbs in each socket. Randomly, over the course of several months, individual bulbs would begin to flicker and/or go out completely. Would replace with a Philips or GE LED bulb of the same wattage (60W) and those work fine. Have now, a little over a year after installation, had to replace 4 of the 5 bulbs due to failure. I tried them based on reviews that indicated they worked in the US, which is true - they did for a while. I can't recommend for use in the USA for sure since it is possible this is related to the European electrical design standard used (220 Volt / 50 Hz). This data is not provided in the product information; in fact, the product detail explicitly states 110 V, but that is not what I received. And if the issue is not the design standard, there must be some other issue. I would not recommend this item and suggest looking at other name brand LED bulbs (Philips, GE, etc.), particularly as the prices continue to drop.

Great for the price, with a couple caveats
This six-pack of bulbs comes in a brown box instead of individually wrapped, which is nice - no clunky plastic packaging to deal with. The bulbs themselves seem to be of decent quality. I did not experience any problems or drop-out with them. I am not convinced they produce quite the lumen output they advertise, but I did not have my lumen meter handy to actually test them. The room I was putting them in has little natural light, dark carpet and ULTRA-flat paint, so it may just be that the room soaked up the light more than I expected.That said, I did not experience any humming or buzzing. They seemed totally silent. They are the same size and shape as a standard incandescent bulb, but heavier. The light distribution is probably the weak spot for them. LED lighting tends to be very directional, so manufacturers try all sorts of tricks to make more even light output. Early LEDs I would rate a 1 or 2 on a 10-point scale. The best LEDs I've seen I would rate an 8. These, I would rate a 6. There is a definite dark spot towards the base of the bulb. If the bulb is used vertically it is pretty good, but if used horizontally, you will notice it. If the fixture uses two or more bulbs, you will be fine. But, I had two horizonal one-bulb ceiling fixtures, and the light was quite uneven.For the price, it is tough to complain too much about these. For table lamps, porch lights, or multi-bulb fixtures, these are great.

Not quite as advertised.
It seems that there is an endless list of various models of Vemotix bulbs, so these comments are specific to the ones I received marked "1506 AC110V Vemotix 7W 3000K". First, these are not 60W equivalents, the box is labeled 600 lm (lumens), not 800 lm like most "60W equivalents. Second, the bulbs seem a little larger than A19. Third, the light from these bulbs has a yellowish hue when compared to other bulbs marked 3000K. That might be OK for a hallway light needed to see your way, but not for reading, and not for any work in which accurate discernment of color is required. Fourth, the label on the box reads, "Great Looking LEAD BULBS". Surely, they mean "LED BULBS". Fifth, the rating of 7W, as for all LED bulbs, is somewhat inaccurate; the voltage times current for LED bulbs would properly be given as VA (volt amperes) not W (Watts). This number is needed when you add up the load supplied by a circuit breaker in your house, but does not give you an accurate measure for computing the cost of the electricity used. The good news is that the wattage is less than 7W (I measured 5.5 W).I downrated this item to 3 stars primarily because of the yellow color, and because, at 600 lumens, I don't consider this a 60W equivalent. I recommend that Amazon should revise the description to "45W Equivalent" and include "600 lumens" in the description.

Junk
14 months of sporadic use and two of them are already dead.These are in our guest bath so maybe get 20 minutes use a day.I have other leds installed and they last many years. These last less time than an incandescent.Avoid these.

you are better off spending a few more dollars per bulb to ...
I have had a sub-par experience with these bulbs. While the level of the light and the color of the light they produce is acceptable (even pleasant), the quality of the bulbs is far from desirable. I have been using them for two months and already two of the six bulbs have begun to malfunction---the bulbs turn on, but after about a few minutes (when, I suspect, they have heated up) they begin to cycle on and off at about 5 minute intervals. If the purpose of transitioning to using LED bulbs is to reduce the long term cost of lighting in one's home (or the impact on the environment of manufacturing light bulbs), then the failure rate of these bulbs that I have experienced is an insurmountable barrier to achieving that goal.In short, rather than jumping for these "bargain" bulbs, you are better off spending a few more dollars per bulb to buy something that has a solid (and hopefully demonstrable) record of long term performance.

What a cool light !!
The most amazing thing about these LED light bulbs is the lack of heat with so much better light !! And the type of light, or tint, or even the color. I'm excited about the new technology and the low wattage, but I hope the cost drops a little. Everyone has been saying how simple the LED light is, but the cost is way up there. I don't want to wait to change my old school bulbs, so I started with these. They work great!!

Hope you like to still replace bulbs.
/3 lights in one fixture are still working less than 3 months later. Update: all 6 have burnt out after laying less than a month. The CFL I put back in among the LEDs after the 3rd burnout is the only lightbulb in the fixture still going. These are by far the worst most unreliable lightbulbs I have EVER purchased. Buyer Beware these suck.
