Explux Commercial-Grade LED PAR38, 120W Equivalent, 1500 Lumens, 40000 Hours, Classic Full Glass Flood Light Bulbs, Dimmable, Waterproof & Anti-Ageing, Daylight 5000K Spotlight, 4-Pack

My apartment came with 75W incandescents. Its not a great look - the bulbs are ugly. As they expired, I replaced them with 90W halogens. Much nicer bulbs. They lasted pretty good too - a couple of years of 7 hours a day. Later I found first gen 100W CFLs (23W). These are rated at 1300 lumens and give out a very good light and are a genuine PAR38. The bulbs themselves are a bit ugly - you can see the CFL inside and the base is thin rounded glass. But once they are on you cant see the bulb in any case. They take a minute or so to warm up which is a minor annoyance. Next, I found a CFL made of thick glass - like a halogen - a more attractive bulb, but with pretty much the same characteristics. When these became unavailable - at least at a decent price - I tried out LEDs. These were all plastic units. They were 3000K, which was too white for me, so I used them for my garage motion lights and returned the rest. Later, they did them in 2700K and I got some more. Supposedly 1200 lumens (15W), but more like 1000 IMO and not a true PAR38 either. Perfectly serviceable but not great. These ones are an all glass construction (like halogens) and rated at 1300 lumens (14W). I love the look of these bulbs, the light is great, the color seems right, it appears to be a true PAR38. These will be my go-to bulbs from now on...until they disappear as these things tend to.

Puts out a decent amount of light. I have two on each corner of my house and there is at least a 12 foot perimeter of well lit ground surrounding the house.

Bulbs have lasted without failure for 6 months or so. The color temperature is as advertised (warm) - but the light is dull and somewhat dim. Im not sure these live up to the lumens promise. I will be replacing these in our vaulted ceiling recessed light fixtures.

using in motion detecting fixtures, works great

Provides more light than my prior incandescent lights. We were playing badminton outside after dark as the lights were so good.

EXCELLENT

These are being moved to places where I will not notice the flickering. Other than the flickering they seem fine.

These are bright AF! I got the 6 pack in 5000K which cast a very bluish light and looks nice! I use these for my landscape ground lights which I have 2 of these, I put 2 of these in the front flood light fixture, and 2 also the outback motion lights! I would highly recommend these bulbs because of the super longevity and the superior quality glass. Don’t buy the Hyperikon, Philips, Sunco or anything that’s plastic or has poor longevity. These can handle water while others can’t and these have the longest life. It’s worth the money and these are the brightest ones. It has replaced the old halogen ones and even my 6 year old led. I would highly recommend these because of the higher light output, glass, longevity, and give color. These are the best bulbs out there! Look no further. For the price, it cannot be beaten!

Very bright and appears to be highly weather resistant with one piece glass design. Havent had long enough to evaluate life. Great upgade!

Well made solid glass with the perfect light dispersal. My old dimmer works fine. Using them outdoors.
