Ascher E12 LED Candelabra Light Bulbs, 5W, Equivalent 60W Incandescent Bulb, 550 Lumens, Daylight White 5000K, Candelabra Base, Non-dimmable, Chandelier Bulb, Pack of 5

Immediately after installing these, my wife and daughter both said they wanted to kill themselves because the light was so depressing. Seriously, not sure what kind of "daylight" this is, but not on this Earth. Bulbs seem fine, which is why I give them three stars, but most of you will likely want a much warmer light, unless you like feeling depressed.

Wow! These bulbs are amazing! The light is so bright... So glad they are available in the candelabra style... We can see again in our kitchen and dining areas. I just ordered 2 more sets! See photos... Left an old bulb in... You can see the difference...

I don't know if the Ascher E12 LED bulbs were defective or not. I received new bulbs of another brand (also LED) and they act the same, they flicker once when turned on and then go out. All of the new bulbs, just as all of the Ascher had. This was in a fan in which CFL and incandescent work fine.On a suspicion the fan was the culprit, I tried all of the new bulbs in a simple light fixture, the kind you touch to turn on. They work fine and do change in brightness as they should.So, I owe Ascher an apology for my 1-star rating. I think my fan is the problem with LED bulbs for some reason.

I bought these almost two years ago, and three are burned out already. If their lifetime were 20,000 hours, and they lasted almost two years (2 years=730 days), that means that I had them running 20,000/730=27.4 hours per day. Wait a minute...The first one only lasted about a year. The second about 1 year 9 months. The third gave up the ghost a week ago. So unfortunately I can't highly recommend this product. They are bright, and my wife loves the extremely white color (I'm more of a warm white man myself), so if you want bright and white then these are it. But if you estimate that I used them ~8 hours/day (the usual benchmark) then these should last almost seven years. From my experience the lifetime is more like 4400 hours (~1.5 years, 8hr/day). Hope this helps!

I like light bulbs to be like daylight. I don't like yellow light. I need to see color as clear as possible because I color hair by that light. I need a true test of how it looks. These bulbs have made the light a lot better and the colors seem to look more true.l

Originally purchased last September and bulbs only lasted approximately 2,000 hours, NOT 20,000 as advertised. Using in a dining room. Contacted Ascher directly and they refunded my Amazon account for the bulbs. So now I've ordered this 2nd box and will see if i just got a bad box the first time or if they do even last as long as advertised. The lighting itself is very pleasant and bright though. Keep your box and order number and if they don't work long enough, simply contact Ascher for refund if order is past Amazon refund date.

I bought this bulbs for my child's ceiling lamp in Oct. 2019, today in Oct. 2021 three of four are gone. I did the math and this was in best case something around max. 6000 hours lifespan, less than 1/3 of 20,000 hrs claim! You'll see inaccurate longevity claims for LED-bulbs almost throughout the entire LED-bulb industry, some are closer to the claimed durability, some (like this) are waaaaay off, means I've never reached the full claimed lifespan. I think those lifespan claims only regard the LED cell and not the entire bulb. I have burned through some LED lights in my life and almost all of them still had functioning LED-cells. It's the electronic part which fails. I think if you are able to install LED-bulbs with the socket down so the heat can scape upwards they would live much longer. I don't have a scientific proof for that, only my experience. But unfortunately most bulbs are installed with the socket up and that causes faster electronic fatigue or failure. So, for the inaccurate 20,000 hrs I give only 2 Stars.

I have a fixture over my kitchen table that uses 5 candelabra bulbs. A few years back I replaced the incandescent bulbs with 7w CFL bulbs. I’ve put up with insufficient light, and that only after they have warmed up for a few minutes. I replaced the CFL’s with these 5w LED bulbs, and oh my, the difference. I will have to remove 2 or 3 of the 5 LED bulbs because the fixture is now super bright. I’m happy with my purchase, but I would recommend that others do more reading about lumens and such, to better match your need.
