kruton Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 That's a great deal man. I haven't used any of the Cree bulbs. What are your thoughts? Would you still go with them at full price? I have been changing out my bulbs when they go out with led's. I have always seen the Cree bulbs but never tried them.Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted June 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 I'm not sure I would pay full price for them and it's not because of quality it's cause I'm cheap....my son has a cree flash light and loves it.....I know they are always more money than the rest so when I heard about this deal it was a no brainer....

Chris Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 That is an epic deal, I've been slowly changing all of my lights over to LED bulbs. I have yet to change out every fixture but all the ones that run regularly are swapped. Whenever I put in a new light fixture I always put in an LED.

Nalu Rash Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Wow what a deal. Those look very nice, glad you got them at a great discount! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 I replaced most of the lights in my house with Cree LED lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalu Rash Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Are these different than those spirally ones? I forget what they are called, but they sometimes go on sale at Costco for a penny a 5 pack or something crazy like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted June 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 no these are not and can't see it with a regular price of $19.95ea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalu Rash Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 I just checked, the spirally ones are called CFL bulbs. LED bulbs, the one that you scored the deal on, are far better than the CFL bulbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hathatyl Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 At work i convinced the boss man to go almost all LED. Got like 800$ worth of those bad boys. 60W dim-able I believe. Only issue we've had so far is that on a few of our dimmer the lights flicker at certain levels. That might be due to aging dimmer switches though.

JerryNY Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 LED's can be a little finicky. They get binned for different characteristics but some just aren't happy at running at certain lower voltages than others even from the same batches.

n00b Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Yeah, My power company is STILL all about the crappy CFL bulbs, free bulbs, coupons etc. Swapped out nearly all my light to LEDs from Costco. Energy consumption is down drastically. So rad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n00b Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Feit is the Costco brand. Thinking about swapping out fluorescents for LED tubes, but they're hella expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the consumption rates I couldn't tell how long it would be before you could see a noticeable decrease in cost.Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't guage the differential in cost, just the "energy consumption" graph/numbers showing year-to-year-month-to-month consumption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comp56 Posted July 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 in our city we have smart meters, different rates for different time of the day.....as far as I see a money grab they had to come up with because so many people are trying ways to save on utilities......so in saying that you make toast at the wrong time of day and there goes all your savings....

n00b Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 This is what I'm referring too...The only thing I can attribute it to is the LED swap. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
