Feit 10W A19 LED Daylight Bulb

Worth it for contractors who need bright task lighting without the energy penalty. The 10W consumption replaces 60W incandescent while delivering 800 lumens at 5000K daylight color temperature. At 80 lumens per watt efficiency, it cuts energy use by 83% while providing the crisp light commercial spaces demand.

Skip it if you’re lighting residential bedrooms or living rooms. That 5000K daylight color reads harsh in comfort spaces. Grab the soft white versions for those applications.

Performance and Specifications

The 800 lumens output matches what you’d expect from a traditional 60W incandescent, but pulls just 10 watts from the wall. That efficiency matters when you’re retrofitting an entire office building or upgrading a restaurant’s task lighting.

Specification	Value
Brightness	800 lumens
Power Consumption	10W
Color Temperature	5000K (Daylight)
CRI	80
Beam Angle	270 degrees
Rated Life	11,000 hours (10 years)
Base Type	E26 (Medium Screw)
Dimmable	No

The 270-degree beam angle spreads light wide enough for general illumination without the focused hotspots that plague cheaper LEDs. That 80 CRI won’t win any awards, but it renders colors accurately enough for workspace applications.

Installation Compatibility

The enclosed fixture rating means you can throw these in ceiling cans, glass globes, or any other sealed fixture without cooking them. Damp location rated handles Montana bathrooms, covered porches, and laundry rooms where condensation builds up during temperature swings.

Installation stays simple: power off, screw into any standard E26 socket clockwise until snug. These work in non-dimmable fixtures only — don’t pair them with dimmer switches unless you enjoy flickering and early failure.

The bulb measures 4.1 inches long by 2.4 inches wide, standard A19 dimensions that fit anywhere a traditional bulb goes. No clearance issues in tight fixtures.

Where It Works Best

That 5000K daylight color temperature excels where visibility matters. Workspaces, kitchens, and bathrooms benefit from the bright, clean light that makes detail work easier. Think task lighting over workbenches, under-cabinet kitchen lighting, or vanity fixtures where people need to see clearly.

Commercial applications love these bulbs. Retail spaces use daylight color to make merchandise pop. Offices get better productivity when workers aren’t squinting under warm yellows. The instant-on performance means no waiting for CFLs to warm up.

The non-dimmable design limits flexibility but simplifies specs for contractors. No compatibility headaches with dimmer types. No callbacks because the homeowner’s fancy smart switch won’t play nice.

The Montana Factor

Montana’s variable humidity makes that damp location rating valuable. Spring thaw brings moisture into spaces you wouldn’t expect. These bulbs handle it without shorting out.

The energy savings hit harder during long winter nights when lights run 16+ hours daily. Cutting 83% off lighting costs adds up fast in commercial buildings running multiple shifts. The 11,000-hour lifespan means fewer ladder trips in warehouses with high ceilings.

For contractors tired of warranty calls, the 4.6-star Amazon rating across 86 reviews suggests decent reliability. The 1-year limited warranty won’t wow anyone, but it covers infant mortality issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can these bulbs work in outdoor fixtures? They’re damp location rated, which covers protected outdoor fixtures like covered porch lights. Full weather exposure requires wet-location rated bulbs instead.

Why can’t these bulbs be dimmed? These are compatible with non-dimmable fixtures only. The driver circuit inside isn’t designed for variable voltage. Using them with dimmers causes flickering, buzzing, or premature failure.

How does the 5000K color compare to traditional bulbs? At 5000K, these produce daylight color — much cooler and bluer than the warm 2700K of traditional incandescents. Think noon sunshine versus candlelight.

What’s the actual energy savings? These 10W bulbs replace 60W incandescents, cutting energy use by 83%. Running multiple shifts with lights on 16+ hours daily means significant reductions in power consumption over traditional bulbs.

Are these bulbs mercury-free? Yes, they’re mercury-free and RoHS compliant, making disposal simpler than CFLs.
