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

Genie GLEDB2-R2 light bulbs were a good addition to my genie garage door opener. They are bright and hopefully long lasting.

Gets the job done

Got these for my new genie garage door opener. Was tempted to try an off brand, but after reading reviews figured I’d get the genie brand. They are nice and bright and price on Amazon was cheaper than my local store

My original incandescent lamps were failing. Had tried cheap LED lamps before, but they interfered with the RF openers sometimes so the doors wouldn’t always recognize the open or close commands. Plus the heat from the incandescent lamps were destroying the stickers and portions of my openers. These put off way less heat (minimal damage to opener lenses, stickers, and objects close to lamp) , provide plenty of light, and, most importantly, haven’t caused any issues with the operation of the remotes!!

The only plus to these lights is that they are made by a known, brand and supposedly do not affect garage door openers (a problem I struggle with, constantly). The negative is the poor brightness and the bizzare, sterile color temperature, of the bulbs. They also cost WAY too much for LED bulbs these days. Kept them to satisfy a need, until I find something better.

Reportedly they dont interfere with remote controls with the garage door. Good light output.

4 of these are bright enough for a 2 car garage, but not enough to work on a car. Biggest plus is that they dont cause RF interference with the receiver. My remotes work well again.

I had ordered a 2-pack and only received one bulb? This was for my garage door opener!

If you have a newer model garage door opener then you need this product. Why? Because it used to work great back when you had your regular old incandescent light bulbs in the overhead fixture. Right? Then you changed that bulb to an LED… and suddenly your remote door opener is “finicky”. Because the LED is interfering with the signal from the overhead door opener to your remote door opener… Your opener now only works sometimes or with repeated presses or not at all. Same goes for the manual code opener on the outside of the garage. Often times you need to resort to using the stupid garage door phone ap just to get into your own garage/house. (Which is not convenient when you’re still trying to park the car and then wrangle kids, groceries, rain etc.) Solution #1) Put back in an Incandescent Bulb. Easy peasy, simple, cheap and done. Oooops! We threw all of those out didn’t we? Cuz they told us LED was much more efficient and lasted so much longer (yeah right! and oh by the way they forgot to mention how hazardous LEDs are to dispose of too). Solution #2) Obviously the only other choice is to buy these specialty bulbs that will not interfere with the garage door opener signal. I have no idea if this brand is better than the others. I based my purchase on my experience with the brand name. The difference in price was not enough for me to want to risk having to replace these again sooner rather than later. If/when I have more to add to this review as time goes by then I will add.

This is a bright bulb! Our garage door openers work everytime now! The last LED bulb we had was apparently interfering with the openers and luckily we figured that out before calling in the repair guys.
