SELS LED PAR38 Dimmable 100-Watt Equivalent LED Light Bulb, E26 Standard Base, Soft White (2 Pack)

I purchased the Samsung equivalent at both $32 each and one time for $22 each (but they are back up to $32 again? - I am speaking of, single lamp price) I really like these SELS brand devices as they are essentially equivalent to the Samsung but at a fraction of the cost. Yes, one still has to pay a premium to get a good "Halogen-looking" light spectrum out of LEDs. Do not let yourself be fooled by the statement "soft white" as many sales pitches try to sway you, because that can mean all the way up into the ugly white 3000k and higher bands. These SELS definitely have more of the orange-yellow content. ...and they ARE bright like you would not believe!!! I have not yet tried them on a dimmer but I'm betting they'll be just fine. Remember, ALL LEDs have a minimum brightness capability that is unlike (and higher than) that of incandescent or halogen lamps, but that's just the nature of the beast. Buy these lamps with confidence. You will not be sorry.

I am very disappointed with this product. I replaced eight bulbs across the front of my home (accent up-lights) with these bulbs four months ago. So far, five of them have burned out. I contacted Amazon about them, and received one free box of bulbs, which I used to replace some of the burned out ones. I won't buy any more of these bulbs.

I had purchased these bulbs and one of them was not working. I contacted the seller and they said they would send a replacement pack, but it never happened.Most of the bulbs worked fine and I was happy that they would stand behind their product, but they did not follow through on their promise.

1. Good service and fast delivery from Amazon (as usual).2. Bulbs well packed.3. The base of the bulb has a very flat piece of metal at the very bottom. At first, this did not make adequate contact with the metal piece in the bottom of the socket. With the help of some needlenose pliers, I was able to bend the contact enough to touch.4. The flood width is fairly narrow. Users intending to light a room will be fine. If using them for a vent hood over the range, there may be a few darker areas that the light does not evenly hit.5. As mentioned, I used these in a vent hood. As previous posters noted, these will not work with a dimming switch. My range hood has both a low and a high setting. High is fine. The low setting flickers and blinks like a night at the disco! Since I never use this setting, who cares.Hopefully they last as long as they claim. Time will tell if I would buy this product again. Now off to buy that Bee Gees album.....

I was very disappointed in this product. I purchased it for use in a range hood that has two light setting, low and high. The manufacturer/seller indicated that these lights are dimmable and even stated in the answer to a question on the product page that they would work fine in a range hood:Question:Will these work in a kitchen range hood that has 3 light settings, low, med, and high?Answer:Dear customer.Our SELS led par20 will work perfect for that application. You will have 3 light intensity 100%, 60% and 30%.Best regardsSELS customer service see lessBy SELS LED on October 2, 2015Unfortunately, they don't. On the high setting, they work just fine and are every bit as bright as the halogen lights they replace. Five stars for that. But, when "low" is selected they just blink and are unusable. Zero stars for that.I emailed the manufacturer/seller but they did not respond.I think if you are planning to use these in an application where only one power setting is used, they'd be fine... but they don't work as advertised in a Low/High environment. Disappointed.

I have a hood over my stove in which I have had three Sylvania Halogen Flood PAR 20 50w bulbs. The hood does not have a dimming or LO/HI feature, so dimming capability for the LED bulbs is unimportant to me. These LED bulbs provide roughly equivalent brightness, color balance, and spread of light when compared to the halogen, with a power draw of just over 25w total instead of 150w. All three work perfectly, come on quickly, and fit in the hood without difficulty. The fit isn't perfect, however, as the bulbs are just slightly too long, so instead of being flush with the surface, they stick down by about one quarter of an inch. They also have a slightly smaller diameter at their surface so there is a small circular space around them that's not present with the standard halogen bulbs. Overall, I'm very happy with the operation and the power draw differential.

So far so good. I always worry that these things won't last as long as advertised. I'll get back with you in 20 years when I find out. As for function, these things dim really well. They can't get quite as dim as a halogen, but dim enough to not matter. They are also plenty bright and match color well with the halogen's in the other fixtures in the room. I would recommend a good switch designed for dimming LEDs. I picked up one at the local big box that works great. It has a feature where you can calibrate the brightness of the dimmer, so was able to match these with the bulbs that are still halogens.

I purchased these expensive bulbs because the light over my dining room table is hard to access and changing bulbs in it is a pain. These bulbs were supposed to last and last. I put the bulb in on Saturday and in burned out on Monday!!! Waste of money!!
