20 Best Bathroom Light Bulbs For Makeup (2022 Updated)

Unfortunately I had ordered the wrong bulb, but when I called in and spoke with Customer Service Rep Valerie and asked for a return. She tried to give me a few options and help me locate the correct bulb.

Unfortunately we were not able to find the correct one. With the CORVID-19 and shelter in place, Valerie explained that the stores were closed and that Lamps Plus would cover the return shipping cost.

Valerie explained everything throughly and clearly, just as if she was speaking to me in person in the store. Lamps Plus and Valerie made my purchase and return a piece of cake. Thank you for your Awesome Help!!!.

I use these particular light bulbs for the bathroom vanity lights. My order arrived a bit late, but was just what I ordered, was packaged well to protect it and so far all work. I will use this source again in the future.

Good value. Work great. I found these cheaper than I could have bought them in store.

I love the color clarity on these bulbs (90) for accurate color representation. However I needed them in a situation where the full bulb was exposed and GE has now put blue text on the bulbs so you can see it all the time.

Going to try and remove it with alcohol but annoyed at the change. I’ve bought tons of these for the bathrooms and non have blue text on them and they’re all exposed. Hence the three stars. I don’t want to work at my bulbs.

But color and brightness is great. It’s not that harsh garage white, but it’s not a warm yellow. I would say it’s closest to a bright slightly warm white.

I’m impressed with the Refresh Daylight globe LED lights. They are frosted so the light is bright, but is muted so that it doesn’t hurt your eyes. It takes a couple of seconds for it to reach full brightness, but this isn’t a problem.

I’ve noticed this is the case with most energy efficient light bulbs. I am happy with how the bulbs are able to to brighten the whole room and love how it seems to mimic natural light. I hate fluorescent lights, which seem artificial so was pleased to see that these lights are nothing like that, but make the room seem like it’s immersed in sunlight.

There are some features in particular I really like. For instance these bulbs can be used with dimmable light switches. My daughter’s room has dimmable lights and I replaced her lightbulb with this one.

Now she can adjust the light for study, movies etc. without issue. I also like how energy and cost efficient these bulbs are; great for the environment and my finances. Overall, I’m happy with these lightbulbs; they do their job and have some bonus features which makes them win in my book.

I would recommend them to anyone looking for energy and cost efficient bulbs for rooms where you want some more natural light.

If you have shopped for light bulbs in recent years you have probably noticed that the options seem to be endless! Just reading the package can be overwhelming because there is a whole new language to be learned to make the best selection for your specific lighting needs at an economical cost.

“Reveal HD Filament 40Watt Equivalent Deco BC Blunt Tip Candelabra Base LED” does seem like a long name for such a small bulb, but the well-designed package offers all the details the consumer needs to know.

It just may take a few extra minutes to do the research. Despite all the new terminology, this bulb offers bold white light that is ideal for a space needing more detailed lighting. The fact that it is dimmable offers even more options for usage.

I have found this bulb especially useful in a ceiling fan which is located in a room receiving limited natural light. Along with increased visibility for everyday tasks, the feeling within the room has improved greatly.

I am also counting on this bulb to continue offering great light at a minimal cost for several years. So far, so good!.

To begin this is my first review on EBAY. I bought these bulbs on the points of the unusual shape of the glass bulb and the color temperature. For my 1920′ chandelier I’ve tried both WARM: very yellow (2700K) or NATURAL : very blue (5000K) and the light emanating through the yellow glass slip shades never looked quite right at one end or the other light level.

When I saw the advertisement 4000k I jumped right on these and I am pleased with the effect. Not too blue nor too yellow and at 6watts gives out allot of light. I believe its more than the electronic drivers plus LED chemistry alone its the shape of the glass being less spherical than a round A19 bulb allows even color luminance whether dim or bright.

It is about 1 3/8″ longer than a normal light bulb yet the low level of yellow does not conflict with the chandeliers yellow color shades.

I was so excited to see these bulbs. The shape goes perfect with my retro hanging light. It offers a soothing warmly lit ambiance, and is especially pleasing when not needing bright working lights. The lights are also dimmable, so if you have a dimmable light switch you can really control the lighting according to your needs.

Another favorite feature of these LED bulbs is that they look old fashioned and glass but they are a safe plastic and don’t get hot!.

Nice bulbs, Edison style look old fashioned which my wife loves. 6 bulbs @ about $3.47 is pretty good. I recommend.

The bulb is great overall. I did not want a super bright bulb on my front porch at night and this was the dimmest option I could find, which is perfect. Only complaint is that the built-in photocell is a little too sensitive.

My porch has about 5’ that is covered, so ambient light is less, but the bulb still comes on long before sunset or even if it gets cloudy/stormy outside.

I didn’t realize how bright the lights I purchased were & I’m curious if it’s too late to exchange them for a warmer setting. I also realize I’m a little late in making this request because I didn’t realize the email address I used.

Can I exchange them or is it too late? Thanks! Still like your products. Lorie Hartley.

They work perfectly. I switched from a dusk-to-dawn adapter to Sunco dusk to dawn bulb and it is so incredibly superior to the adapter. The adapter was very sensitive and did not work consistently. These bulbs are easy to use and work perfectly.

A good replacement for the traditional 25-watt bulb. The Ultra Warm description is accurate, providing good light. It’s perfect for social gatherings in the dining area. We used a similar 40 watt “Warm” bulb in another area that provided a brighter light without blinding anyone.

Both function well on dimmer switches, giving you complete control over how bright they are.

I now have nearly a 50% failure rate on these bulbs a few months over a year into ownership. One of the bulbs started flickering very badly and I returned it for RMA but had the exact same defective bulb sent back to me.

Shortly after the first bulb failed, one of the COBs/filaments on a second bulb started to act up. Then after I had already sent out the first two failed bulbs for RMA replacement, a third bulb had a COB/filament start to act up.

These are all in a bathroom fixture. A bathroom fixture that isn’t even exposed to moisture as the shower/tub is separated from the vanity. I have confirmed it is not the fixture itself as the problem continues to present itself in other lamps around the house.

Unfortunately, SuperBrightLEDs requires that defective items are shipped back to them and the shipping cost just about as much as the bulb itself! Additionally, this bulb lacks current smoothing circuitry, which causes banding when used with a camera.

They are so cool! Make them as bright as you like and 3 colors white warm and neutral. They dont have a plug it’s a USB so you need the block you use on phone chargers or a charging bank. Love these lights!!.

Great product would recommend and it is quite long

Worked great around our makeup mirror. Affordable and provides great lighting!

These bulbs illuminated our bathroom vanity with the ideal amount of light. I chose the warm white 3000k bulbs after reading other reviews because I needed something bright enough for my aging eyes but not so bright that it would make me blind.

Locally, it was difficult to find these bulbs.

The lights flash subtle but intermittently. Rougly once per second, but not always. Gets really annoying. All lights in the two boxes of 6 I purchased have this same problem. Would return, but need lights.

I ordered the daylight bulbs and they are way brighter than normal daylight bulbs. I’m thinking of unscrewing a couple so I don’t feel like I’m looking into the sun in the bathroom.

I found the app very difficult to navigate, and when I finally “figured it out” it didn’t work as it was supposed to. The lights themselves were difficult to get synced, and routinely go off line and start blinking at the most inconvenient times.

Definitely returning and will not purchase here again.

Have been using the LED Maxxima bulb products for years. They have significant longevity and never have reduced brightness. They are well worth their cost.

Your LED bulbs have been exceptional. I currently at least 4 different types of these bulbs. I have only had 2 failures among the 30 to 40 bulbs in use for the last t years. These bulbs are bright long lasting and economical.

This a product that out performed all the others. This product is value for your dollar and peace of mind that as long as the electricity is on you are saving money on your power bill, reducing your carbon footprint on the earth and providing your family with a light source that will out last all the others.

Highly recommend. I gave purchased many times, and will again.

It took a few minutes to get used to the ‘daylight look’ inside my house, but very quickly I learned to love it. It is just is SO much easier to read. and see in corners. and everywhere else! With these LED lights I’m saving energy.

and money. I am very happy! I’m not willing to do without them anywhere! I have already placed another order so I can change ALL my lights over to this Clean. Bright. White. Light.

The Maxlite 9w LED Bulb 60 watt A19 Daylight 5000K three have been installed on the front of the garage and what a difference they make. The Daylight turn on at dawn and go of at dusk and during the evening they give out a nice daylike look that it is very nice to look at.

Now compare to my neighbors regular lighting the Maxlite lights have a daylight look that lights up the garage area evenly and a lot better then regular light bulbs and less costly. They provide safety and are cost effective.

Replaced 4 40w G30 bathroom bulbs with 40w led bulbs, same soft white look on bulb and lumens with less energy. last home led bulbs to be replaced. Should have replaced long ago. So glad I did finding these from your company.

The GE light bulbs are made in Hungary. Most of the ones i received burned our in one to ten days. I don’t know if the early burn-out is a consequence of shipping vibration damaging the filament or poor quality control during manufacture.

On the other hand none of the K-Lite light bulbs have burned out after several months. The K-Lite bulbs are made in China.

I know now why lighting is so important. I just built a custom kitchen and these lights have taken it to another level. Everything looks picture perfect. My kitchen is made up of white and grays, and where I could not keep certain colors on the warm side of the gray scale (the backsplash is marble, slightly on the cool gray side), these lights help bring all the colors closer together while improving clarity.

I’m the morning sun, they add warmth, and look cooler in the evenings. Everything also stands out more clearly. I had brighter lights before but now everything looks clearer with less watts. Before you try Reveal, you may think it just marketing hype.

There’s not a big difference between the color rendition of GE Reveal and standard 3000K bulbs. You may not even feel there is a big difference between 3000K and 2700K. But GE clearly didn’t just pick a round number or go with what everyone else is doing because it’s “standard”.

They surely tested the range with people and picked the Goldielocks color on the rendition scale. I may never buy another standard color bulb again.

This bulb replaces a standard floodlight bulb, but adds built-in motion detection capability–the sensor is built into the bulb. No special fixture required–just replace your “dumb” bulb with this one.

This is a great way to add motion detection without rewiring fixtures; if you can change a light bulb, then you can add motion detection to your outdoor floodlights. I have found that it will detect human motion and turn on the light from approximately 30 feet away, which is pretty good–I have had other cheaper PIR-sensor integrated bulbs that were not as consistent as this one.

It will trigger upon someone walking by on the street, as well as anyone entering the front yard within the cone of its detection (approximately 120 degrees, from what I can gather). Color-wise, it is similar to legacy halogen flood lights–a warm color, which I personally prefer to the stark white LED colors that are prevalent today.

Overall, very pleased with the performance of this bulb. time will tell how it holds up to the elements.

It’s hard to find a mid-priced LED strong enough for flowering and fruiting plants. I wasn’t. convinced when I first bought this, but so far my two Feit 3-Setting lights have been up to the task. I’m growing an indoor 2×4 vegetable garden for the off-season with great progress, but there are a few caveats to keep in mind: The Good: – all of my plants respond very well to the lights – the variety of light settings do seem to work for their respective growth stages – barely any heat emitted, even after 18+hrs on, no running noise – great 1.

8 PAR efficiency, 1. 5 is considered efficient – my cherry tomatoes are fruiting with the light well-contained to only a 2×2 space The Bad: – the directions are not complete about setting up an optimal grow space – no mention of ventilation, reflective walls, light leakage which are all really important indoor growing conditions.

Only mention buying more of their lights to add intensity – confusing and convoluted wording in the manual, especially in the light distance and plant biology sections. I had trouble understanding how far my lights should hang from the plant canopy, but figured it out on my own after some experimenting.

All in all I’m really happy with the light. I just wish Feit had given customers more detail and insight into how to contain indoor grow light’s rays to stay concentrated on plants. You’re not likely to find another LED with this level of growing power for the price.

So I’ve been running several of these for a few months now during our darkest winter days and nights, and I’ve now ordered more because I like them so much. Previously I was running halogens giving half the lumens for four times the wattage, so now I’m saving energy and getting way more brightness.

They do sometimes flicker but I think that is more dependent on your switch hardware and wiring (are there other devices on the same circuit?), and in my experience most LED bulbs will flicker in these situations.

I haven’t seen anyone else offering B10s that put out this much light. I have some rooms that rely on a single B10 for their main lighting source (ceiling fan fixtures) and finally, these ones can handle the job.

I highly recommend.

These worked for a while, then they started rapidly blinking and had to disconnect them. My power supply had plenty of rated wattage, but it turned out they were incompatible. After speaking with an electrician, I learned that LEDs aren’t like other lights, which you can mix and match.

They’re electronic devices, and the power’s actual waveform (not just voltage and wattage) must match too, or the results are unpredictable. He said people commonly try to add third-party bulbs like these to systems where bulbs with certain specifications must be provided by the manufacturer.

We’re in the midst of moving and I have no idea where our receipt is, or I’d return them.

So these LED bulbs are the same size as their incandescent grandparents. Light level is similar to the 40 watt’ers. Most importantly, the light output is consistent from bulb to bulb, which I did not have with the old incan’s.

Color temp is very good. At first I thought that not having the back of the bulb lit would be a problem but it is not. Light dispersion is good and reflection of light on your face to the mirror is perfect.

Will definitely buy these again when needed.

The light bulbs looked nothing like the picture – the picture is very misleading. The bulbs are not globe-shaped, and they have a huge, blocky area of printing all over one side of the bulb. The shape is much more like a typical, non-decorative bulb – like an A19 bulb.

The color of the light seemed like a true 5000K.

Keep in mind that these globes are typically used across the top of a bathroom mirror (or around three sides of a mirror). Since these are decorative bulbs, you will not be using a shade over them so when they are in use you are looking directly at an unshaded light source.

At 300 lumens the light is quite intense, especially if you have a fixture that uses 4-6 bulbs or more. The solution is to use a dimmer switch. Make sure the dimmer switch is specified for LEDs and for the number of bulbs you will be running off it.

With a dimmer switch these bulbs are terrific. They look good and perform perfectly.

In a time when we’re being mindful of surface contact and the presence of microbials in our homes, it’s nice to have the LIFX Clean smart bulb as an additional option to take that extra step in protecting ourselves.

With innovative smart functions, easy installation, and a dedicated app, the LIFX Clean is a great choice for any smart, health conscious home. The bulb itself is like any smart bulb, plugging into your standard lamp base or socket and is ready to go.

The instructions give you multiple ways to get networked, either through the LIFX app, Apple HomeKit, or via the Alexa app. When using the LIFX app, you can tap into a wide array of customizable settings and presets created for you to curate your own lighting experience.

From here you can set up timed schedules for turning on and off the light, different colors to set the mood, and even setting up cleaning cycles to engage the HEV (High Energy Visible) LED function. The effectiveness of the HEV cleaning function will depend on where you install the bulb – a high ceiling fixture, for example, will be less effective than an up close desk lamp, depending on what you are targeting to keep clean.

I found the ease and convenience of the app to create these cleaning times around my and my family’s schedules to be well worth it. The smart function alone is its own reward, given all those times in the past when I had to tell the kids to turn off the light to save electricity.

However, now the light being on when no one is around makes sense since it would be performing a scheduled function of its own. The light turns on and off fairly quickly from voice commands to a nearby smart device – I didn’t notice any unusually long pauses between command and function like with some other smart devices.

I would have liked to be able to voice change the room’s light color on command, however the app does allow for customizable scenes and schedules that generally accomplish the same results. From the easy functionality, customizability, and health focused cleaning cycles, the LIFX Clean smart bulb is a great addition to your home.

Above all, this smart bulb is a smart investment. Full disclosure, I received this product for my honest, unbiased review.

The LIFX – Clean A19 smart light bulb is an intriguing mix between a smart, color-changing light bulb and a bacteria-killing HEV light. This is an innovative product but I’m a bit skeptical when it comes to the effectiveness of the HEV Clean Cycle and I didn’t really have any way to scientifically test this functionality.

Setup of the bulb was pretty straightforward: install the bulb, turn on the light switch, and then connect the bulb to the downloadable app on your phone. This was the easy part which is ironic because the only instructions that came with the product were instructions for this initial setup, the easiest part which really didn’t require much explanation.

Beyond that, you are left to simply play with the app and try to figure everything out on your own. I am normally pretty good at messing around with settings and figuring out how things work but for whatever reason, the design of the app and lack of clear instructions was a bit frustrating for me to work with.

All that aside, I do really like being able to control the brightness and color of the bulb and one of my favorite features is the Color Cycle setting which allows the bulb to slowly change colors over time.

I mainly use the light in this setting in my bedroom for mood lighting but suspect that I could probably find a cheaper bulb that does the same thing. I don’t rely on the HEV Clean Cycle but I guess it is nice to know it is there and it certainly isn’t hurting anything unlike UV cleaning lights.

With all of this in mind, if you’re looking for a color-changing smart light bulb that has some minor cleaning benefits, I would still recommend the LIFX – Clean A19 smart light bulb, but if you only really want a smart light bulb that can change colors, you might be better off purchasing a cheaper one that doesn’t have any sort of cleaning functionality.

I had no idea if this would work with our 3 panel switch when we first got it, but I quickly discovered it was made to work in single or multiple switch areas. I am a succulent enthusiast and have many smart plugs and bulbs around my home, but this is my first smart switch.

We decided to use it in the living room and I couldn’t be more pleased! Gone are the days of trying to decide who is going to get up and adjust the light before movie time, or who is going to get out of bed to turn off the light we left on.

just bring up the app on a phone and boom. its done! Even better is I can tell Alexa to do it and it was super easy to pair it to my Alexa device. We really love that we can even turn the lights on or off or set scenes while we are away from home.

If people see lights changing in a house, they are going to assume someone is home and hopefully be less likely to break in. That gives us a bit of extra security and peace of mine. You can use it with traditional bulbs, or it even pairs with smart bulbs to do even more cool stuff! I think I may be grabbing another one soon to use for my plants!.

This thing is so cool. It turns my normal, everyday, ceiling fan into a smart device. It was super easy to install, no different than installing or changing out any other wall switch and took maybe 20 minutes.

To set up the functionality you have to install the Cync app and follow the prompts. Easy peasy. We use the switch with our Google assistant and once it was set up through Cync other users in the house were able to add the device to their Google home app.

I can either use voice controls through Google to control the light or use the app. I like that I can set a schedule for the lights to turn on or off and even control the lights when I’m not home. The best part for me is that I don’t have to get up to turn the light switch on at the wall anymore.

Definitely want to get more smart bulbs to use with the smart switch in my home.

This is a very nice switch. It looks classy, easy to install and use. The instructions are very clear on how to install. This switch does require neutral and ground. I have not checked it without neutral and ground.

Before installing make sure you have ground and neutral available. After wiring it, the app easily found the switch. You have to create an account in the app. It was easily recognized by Google Assistant and the voice commands worked great.

I just used a regular bulb with the switch , but you can use smart bulbs too. Something to improve, I wish the switch had a smaller back. The back of the switch is big, so you need to make sure you have enough room for the ground, neutral, load and line wires, plus any traveller you may have.

Will definitely buy this again.

These are very good bulbs at the best price around that I could find. However, the colors emitted are not absolutely perfect as a philips bulb would be, just close. Like one Amazon reviewer said, about this Tourchstar brand, great for a guest bathroom, or any bathroom, you do not need for the exact and perfect color of your cloths (he used a spectrophotometer, if I am remembering correctly, because he had one and was in a business that needed one).

This is a nice fitting light bulb. I love the light output it gives off with the beam angle it gives along with the brightness it gives off saving you energy with providing you a low watt consumption.

I like one feature in this light bulb while. I was dusting off this light bulb and accidentally touch it with my bare hands mind you. I do not know if this truly is a feature with the light bulb or not but it did not feel hot to the touch it was cool therefore this light bulb does not give off heat which proves to me it is saving me money also.

I love the over all look of this flood light and how it is. The best part it gives off a lot of brightness but does not affect my electrical bill.

This GE Nighthawk Dimmable Flood Light is a very good bulb to use as security lights or just to produce great lighting. This bulb produces a very bright, but warm light. My yard is so dark at night due to being surrounded by trees, I need it to be well lit when I take the dog out.

It does an excellent job of illuminating my backyard. It has a 13-year life, so only time will tell in regard to its durability, but for now I am pleased with the output of brightness so far. It is heavier than any bulb that I have ever purchased, but I don’t care because it produces quality results.

I recommend this bulb to anyone looking for excellent lighting whether inside or out.

I live on a very dark street, so having the proper flood lights that activate with motion is essential in making me and my family feel safe. I have regular lightbulbs in my motion sensor floodlights and they have done their job, but they weren’t very bright.

I put this lightbulb in and actually had to readjust the direction of the lights because it is so bright. It fully lights up my driveway and part of the street. I like that this one is dimmable, and I actually only need one of them in my dual light fixture because of how bright it is.

I definitely feel more secure now, there is no denying when someone crosses the motion sensor path!.

First let me say there are great videos out there on how to properly install the GE dimmer switch and I would advise watching them in advance of installing the dimmer switch if you’ve never installed a smart switch before.

I’ve done a few so it was less than 15 minutes to install mine. Probably took more time having to go out to the garage and shut off power at the breaker and then having to go turn it back on. I had plenty of room in the switch box to easily install the GE dimmer switch.

That can sometimes be painful, and I have had to switch out to a deeper switch box on another wifi switch that was too much bigger than the manual switch it was replacing. So, ease of installation was a huge plus.

Aesthetically this is easily the nicest looking of all my wifi switches. It does continuously glow and makes it easy to find in the dark, but you can turn that off if you don’t want that feature in the app.

You will need the GE app for setup. During setup it easily linked with Alexa which is what I primarily use to control all my lights/switches. Dimmer on the switch also worked pretty seamlessly and takes a medium amount of pressure when pressing directly on the switch.

I have a couple other dimmer switch brands and this GE dimmer is easily the most eye appealing in my opinion.

As a member of the International Dark Sky Association, an association dedicated to preserving the night sky for viewing pleasure, I used an 11 watt incandescent bulb by my front door. Knowing the bulb would burn out some day (I rarely turn on the light) I have been looking for an LED replacement.

Unfortunately most LEDs are way to bright or the kelvin temperature is not given. Many ‘night lights’ fall into this category. In addition the lumens advertised often seem questionable, and sometimes the kelvin temperature too.

So it was with some apprehension that I recently ordered four different S14 sized bulbs, all 2700 kelvin, all low lumens, and all low wattage from 1000bulbs. One at a time I visually tested (I don’t have any measuring instruments, just my eye) each bulb at night by replacing the 11 watt incandescent bulb with one of the four LED bulbs and then repeating with the next LED bulb.

My testing quickly eliminated two of the LED bulbs, both rated as 150 lumens, as way to bright, leaving this bulb advertised as 1 watt, 55 lumens and the other bulb advertised as. 7 watts, 75 lumens.

To my eye this bulb came closest to matching the 11 watt incandescent bulb I was replacing and so this is the bulb I now have installed next to my front door. That said, if I was more concerned about energy efficiency than esthetics I would recommend the.

7 watt (advertised!) however it appears to me as marginally brighter. Bottom line, I am very pleased with this bulb and intend to order two more, one for the back door and one for a spare.

Great bulbs, haven’t had a problem with them in the 40 somewhat days I’ve had them. They are really beautiful, the picture doesn’t do it justice. Looks like an authentic old style bulb. Dims perfectly, can’t go as low as some other bulbs but I knew that as it’s described perfectly in this listing.

Easily gets low enough though, and I see no reason for them to get lower as they’d just be a light to see in the dark but not a light to light up the dark. only nitpick which is why the. 5 star loss, is the price.

Very expensive compared to an identical bulb that isn’t for decorative purposes. I do not know what other companies charge for these decorative Victorian bulbs, and I’m sure it’s similar. Still alot for bulbs, though I bought them cause I only needed 2 to put in some mason jar style hanging lights.

I don’t regret it, worth the buy either way.

I’ve been trying many different LED bulbs over the years, and of the ones I’ve tried, this one looks the best- by far! Color temperature looks as it should, and it looks just like an old-fashioned multi-filament incandescent! I couldn’t even believe how great they look.

The only reason it didn’t get five stars is because it is advertised as dimmable, (and this may be due to old wiring in my house) but it didn’t work properly with the old dimmer in my house. Besides the dimmer issue, works great for any application where you would want a 40 watt (or even closer to 60 watt) incandescent.

I have four of them in lamps and overhead light fixtures. Great value for light output, appearance, and efficiency. Two thumbs up!!.
