Genie GLEDB2-R2 2 Pack Garage Door Opener LED LIGHT BULB, 4000K,White

Very easy to install

Pros: • Works flawlessly with Genie Garage door opener • No Radio Frequency interference with opener • Whiter light (as compared to previous Genie bulb) • More energy efficient (as compared to previous Genie bulb) Cons: • None – hopefully it lasts at least as long as the previous bulb This Genie LED bulb works flawlessly in a Genie garage door opener. It lights quickly with a white light, and does not appear to produce radio frequency interference as many standard LED bulbs do that can interfere with the receiver. It does exactly what it is supposed to do. This bulb is actually a replacement for the previous generation Genie LED bulb LEDB1-R. I checked my Amazon orders, and I had ordered 2 of the original Genie bulbs in December of 2016. One of those 2 bulbs failed after roughly 6 years of service. When I went to order a replacement, it appears that Genie has updated the model for the bulb to the newer GLEDB2-R model. The newer, current GLEDB2-R bulb appears to be a new, improved and likely lower cost design. It is a cooler color temperature and appears to be more of a pure white than the definite warm white of the GLEDB1-R previous bulb. The new bulb is specified as 4000K color temperature. I’ve taken photos of both bulbs in the opener with both the plastic cover open and closed for comparison. The left, more yellow bulb is the original, the right bulb is the new GLEDB2-R. The new bulb does appear to be even more energy efficient than the previous generation. It is specified at 78 mA versus 102 mA with both specified at 800 lumens light output. Other than the color temperature, the light output appears similar. The new bulb is also somewhat lighter, so has likely been cost reduced as well. It is hard to know if any RF filtering components have been cost reduced. It does seem to work fine, and there is no problem with closing the door remotely when the bulbs are lit.

Great bulb for garage door.

These are nice and bright in my garage door opener. I got these to reduce the interference that general purpose LED bulbs produce.

So far so good. My opener takes 2 of these, so the fact that they’re not the brightest actually works for me because I don’t necessarily need a mini Sun to emerge every time I use my garage, and besides have the actual garage light in case I need additional illumination, which will be very rarely. So the brightness works for me. Light temperature is perfect too - it’s bright white (not yellow) but not that super blue sterile bright, just right in my opinion. Used on a modern Chamberlain by the way, and absolutely no signal interference with remote that I can notice. I typically use HomeLink in my car, and I’m able to operate the door from the same distance as I did before installing these.

I had another brand for a while from a big box store and they all burned out within a few months even though they were rated for a garage door and on the acceptable list for Lift Master. I bought these a few months ago and so far they are still working without interference to the remote operation.

Product met my expectation. I hope it lasts for as long as they claim it to be.

LED bulbs are generally not recommended for openers due to electrical interference, but these are designed for openers and weve had no problems. Bright light.

I believe the problem one may have with LED opener bulbs is with dimmable bulbs. Dimmable LEDs use interfering RF frequencies to adjust the flash rate of the bulb, i.e., to change its apparent brightness. I installed 4, $1.97 NON dimmable 60W equivalent, LED bulbs in two Genie openers. My driveway entrance is about 300 from the garage doors which face away at that point. I have had no problem opening either door from that distance with NON dimmable bulbs. Just be sure youre using NON dimmable LED bulbs.

Ok
