So far so very good, unless you have to exercise the warranty, that's a hassle. Energy efficient, nice color temperature, I like the bright white color for the kitchen, dims nicely, stays cool, less glare than an incandescent, but do not look directly into them, best if in a sunken can fixture or track light. They could get an initial 5-star from me if they fix their customer service. The real test will be over time. They are rated for 22 years at 3-hours a day. Light spread will depend on your fixture trim type.
I have a kitchen with an 8-foot ceiling that has seven 6-inch diameter sunken can lights; six are on one circuit partially over the counters and work areas and one is on a separate circuit directly over the double sink. A dimmer controls the set of six. We have been using 50W Halogen PAR30 bulbs in each can, they put out 600 lumens each They are on about 4-hours a day resulting in an energy use-cost of 1.4kW/h a day or 42kW/h a month. At 11-cents a kW/h,...Read more

Offers the Clarity of Halogen - A Remarkable First!,

I've been buying LED for many years and these are the best as the offer the Clarity of Halogen. In fact they should be considered an LED knockoff of Halogen. Quite an accomplishment!
I went to Feit's Electric site to confirm what I see (feit electric 52095-8):
"DIMMABLE PERFORMANCE LED Bulbs use ocular lenses to harness the output of high power Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). The light output is comparable to incandescent and halogen products and can be used for both distance and close-range directional light."
My wife notice the difference and commented she could see every spec of dust in the air over our kitchen sink.
I bought the $40-50 Consumer Reports top rated LED PAR30 and they were too yellow and did not offer the clarity, even though they are CREE LEDs too. Go figure!
A Cost warehouse has'em for 40% less.
Perfect light in the kitchen,

I bought one light and placed in right over my counter. What great lighting for doing kitchen work. I subsequently bought more to other areas. These light work best where bright white light is needed. Two drawbacks: 1. if you have a light dimming system, check that this type of bulb is compatible; 2. EXPENSIVE.
