GE 48688 60-Watt A19 Reveal Bulbs, 4-Pack

Comment: I have replaced all lights in the house over last 2 years with GE reveal. They seem to have a long lifespan and the difference in color is amazing... walls that once were yellow tinted are now white... colors are more vibrant... especially poinsettia plants at Christmas! The rooms seem more lush and vibrant. Whatever room you do first... be sure to replace all the bulbs or else he mixed effect may cancel out the benefit.

Comment: My home has an extensive amount of red oak woodwork. These bulbs make the wood look substantially deeper and richer. I think that a lot of the mixed reviews here are due to the environment where they are used. I can imagine that the difference is not as noticeable if they are used in a room with white walls and beige carpet. However, when it comes to bringing out the deep, rich colors of woodwork (especially darker woods) these bulbs make a major difference in my home.

Enjoy them while you can still get them - I don't know if GE will have an equivalent product when the U.S. ban on incandescent bulbs begins to take effect in a few years and we are only allowed to buy Obama bulbs.

Comment: I ordered 100 watt bulbs from Amazon and instead received 60 watt. I don't know why they didn't catch the error since I ordered 4 packs. I don't see where these bulbs are worth the extra cost.

Comment: I'm a fan of Reveal bulbs because they create a much more pleasing spectrum of light in a room and 'reveal' the colors that were distorted by the over abundance of the yellow spectrum in normal incandescent bulbs. I use them for all of my interior lighting (except for a few halogen floods) and they provide very pleasing 'mid day' light. This is a product that is worth the extra cost because the time you spend in your home (which for most people is a significant chunk!) can be dramatically improved with good lighting. To me its like spending the money to get a good monitor for work.

These 60-watt medium base bulbs are perfect for overhead lighting and especially enclosed 'globe' lights that require lower watt bulbs. They really do make a noticeable difference!

Comment: These bulbs appear a little whiter more like a halogen bulb, or about 3000k. Looking at different colored objects under these bulbs vs standard bulbs, colors are slightly brighter looking. Otherwise I don't seem to have a color preference for lightbulbs as I don't really care about such a small difference. I do just fine with standard bulbs. I do find they are dim and needed to get 75w to use in place of 60w. I got a pack at Wallyword for $2 just figured I'd try them out. I give them 4 stars just because they are lightbulbs and they make light as I expect, and I haven't had any early failures yet.
