Cree Lighting TA21-20050MDFH25-12DE26-1-11 A21 125W Equivalent, 2000 lumens, Dimmable LED Bulb, 1 Pack, Daylight

CREE lights are my go-to brand for LEDs. The make the best quality. Bought these to replace another brand that only output 650 lumens. It was night and day. Pros: Lumens: 2000 Lumens. At 18 watts, that's 111 lumens per watt. Color Temp: 2700k. The 2700 kelvin range is equivalent to the standard incandescent bulb. CRI: The color rendering index of 90+ is the minimum you should buy. Anything less is bad. Other: Dimmable, shatterproof (not that I'm about to throw it) Cons: Size. It is very large compared to a standard sized bulb. See picture. It may not fit in some enclosed fixtures. Surface Temperature: HOT! I could not hold my hand on the base for more than a few seconds without feeling the pain. This might also be an issue in enclosed fixtures. Summary: Would absolutely buy these again for open fixtures where size isn't really an issue. They are super bright, have an excellent color rendering index and a pleasing tone of 2700k. Perfect for living rooms where you can also dim the lights. Note that these are not "smart lights" which would be a PRO for me. I would just connect these to a smart switch or a smart plug instead.

I recently purchased this Cree LED bulb and have been extremely satisfied with my purchase. I have used this bulb in my home office and it provides the perfect amount of light for any task I am working on. One of the things I appreciate most about this bulb is the fact that it is made by Cree Lighting, and not just "made with Cree LED Chips" which is very different. Cree is a company that is known for producing high quality products, so I know all of the parts such as the power supply and heatsink are well made. I have used other Cree Lighting products in the past and have always been impressed by their durability and performance. The 2000 lumens of this bulb are very bright and provide a lot of light. This makes it perfect for a room with a high ceiling or a room that doesn't have many windows. The warm light temperature also adds to the ambiance of the room and makes it feel more comfortable and inviting. Another great feature of this bulb is that it is dimmable. This allows me to adjust the brightness to my liking and create the perfect atmosphere for any occasion. It's also energy efficient and long lasting, which is a big plus. I am just using a standard wall dimmer, nothing fancy or expensive. Overall, I am extremely happy with my purchase of the Cree Lighting TA21-20027MDFH25-12DE26-1-11 A21 125W Equivalent LED bulb. It is a high quality and bright bulb that is perfect for any room in your home. I would highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a new LED bulb.

This is, by far, my favorite light bulb. I haven't used the dimming feature so cannot speak to that, but the bulb is bright and provides beautiful light with great color rendering. It is worth spending a little extra for light of this quality.

A nice, high cri led bulb which is advertised at 2000 lumens. Side by side against a 800 lumen led, this bulb was significantly brighter but hardly 2 1/2 times. It’s an A21 not an A19 so it may not fit in certain fixtures. Overall a decent bulb, albeit relatively expensive with output Les than advertised.

Over the past 10 years I've only been using LED bulbs. First Philips and now mostly Cree. I had a Philips 1600 lumen in a bedroom lamp and it was dimmable, lasted about 4 years and went out. I replaced it with this Cree 2000 lumen, and can tell that not only is it brighter, but colors look better due to the CRI 90 (philips was 80). This Cree also dims just fine using a Lutron table dimmer. I tried the dimmer in the bedroom lamp and living room lamp, and the Cree was able to dim without any problem.

I'm not familiar with other brands, so often choose CREE. The color temperature is what I wanted, color rendering and brightness are good. Longevity is TBD, but I have a dozen or so other CREE products that failed pretty early into their estimated life expectancy. I hope to return them for replacement in one batch to save shipping costs. The problem I have is dimmer compatibility. I use Leviton Decora Slide Dimmers which claim to be LED compatible. They work so-so, not nearly as well as when using an incandescent bulb. I have terrible flickering with a couple of Tiffany Floor Lamps. Who knows what kind of dimmer they use, but they work flawlessly with incandescent bulbs. The only way to stop the flicker is to turn the dimmer to the highest setting, which I don't like.

Great bulbs

I own five of these bulbs now which I use in my unfinished basement. They made a huge difference in brightness and my ability to find things over the 100 watt equivalent bulbs that I replaced. I bought these because they were made by Cree, a company well known for making quality light bulbs of various types for many, many years.
