I've been very happy the the CREE bulbs for table and desk lamps. We also got six of the flood bulbs for recessed cans in the living room, can't remember the brand. They have great color and a ton of light. However one has failed already after about a year, appears to be due to overheating (discolored plastic). It is under warranty but I would be careful using any of these in enclosed fixtures and save your reciept. On Nov 2, 2014 4:36 PM, "Bill Prince via Af" <[email protected]> wrote:
