Feit Electric 60W Equivalent A19 LED Dimmable Clear 4-Pack

These clear filament LED bulbs deliver 810 lumens at just 8.8-9W — replacing traditional 60W incandescents while using 85% less energy and lasting 15,000 hours (13.7-15 years at 3 hours daily use). The 90+ CRI and 2700K soft white temperature create accurate, warm lighting that actually looks good, not like those harsh early LEDs that made everyone look sick.

Worth it for contractors installing dimmable fixtures where the bulb shows. The clear glass design with exposed filament gives you that vintage Edison look clients want in pendant lights and exposed-bulb fixtures. Skip it if the fixture hides the bulb — grab the cheaper frosted version instead.

Energy Efficiency That Pencils Out

The 8.8-9W power draw versus 60W incandescent equivalent means these bulbs use up to 85% less energy. That’s not marketing fluff — it’s measurable savings on every electric bill. For Montana’s rural properties where utility costs run higher, the payback happens faster than in town.

Specification	Value
Brightness	810 Lumens
Wattage	8.8W - 9W
Equivalent	60W Incandescent
Lifespan	15,000 Hours (13.7 - 15 years at 3 hrs/day)
Base Type	E26 (Medium Screw)

The real win? That 15,000-hour lifespan. In those vaulted Montana cabin ceilings where changing bulbs means dragging out the extension ladder, these pay for themselves in avoided hassle alone. Multiple sources confirm the 15-year life expectancy holds up in real use.

Dimming Performance Without Drama

Fully dimmable with compatible LED dimmer switches — and that compatibility matters. These aren’t the buzzing, flickering LED disasters from a decade ago. The bulbs turn on instantly to full brightness without warm-up time, then dim smoothly down to create ambiance.

For best dimming performance, use with LED-compatible dimmer switches. That’s not just manufacturer boilerplate — old rheostat dimmers will make any LED flicker. Spend the extra on a proper LED dimmer and save yourself the callback.

Reviews note potential compatibility issues with certain dimmers, which tracks with field experience. Test one bulb with the customer’s existing dimmer before installing the whole batch. Nothing worse than installing sixteen bulbs in a chandelier only to find they strobe like a disco.

Design Details That Matter

The 90+ CRI (Color Rendering Index) puts these in professional territory. Anything above 90 makes colors look natural — critical in kitchens where homeowners actually want to see what they’re cooking. The 2700K soft white temperature matches traditional incandescent warmth without that bluish LED curse.

Clear glass design for a classic filament look serves two markets: vintage aesthetics in restaurants and bars, plus residential customers who hate the “ice cream cone” look of frosted bulbs in their dining room chandelier. The exposed filament design mimics Edison bulbs without Edison’s power bill.

Suitable for damp locations opens up covered porch and bathroom vanity applications. Montana’s humidity swings from bone-dry winters to monsoon-wet springs mean that damp rating actually matters here.

Real-World Performance

Aggregate ratings run from 4.1 stars on Amazon (246 reviews) to 4.7 stars at Ace Hardware (39 reviews). That spread tells you something — bulk buyers on Amazon probably hit more compatibility issues than folks buying locally and asking questions.

Users generally praise the ‘true’ color temperature and smooth dimming capabilities. Translation: these don’t turn greenish at low dim levels like cheap LEDs. The color stays consistent whether you’re at full brightness or romantic dinner mode.

Energy Star Certified, CEC Title 20 Compliant, CEC Title 24 JA8 Compliant, RoHS Compliant — all the bureaucratic checkboxes for code compliance. More importantly for contractors, these meet residential energy codes without special ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long do these bulbs really last compared to regular bulbs?

These LEDs last approximately 15,000 hours or 13.7-15 years based on 3 hours daily use. Compare that to a standard incandescent at 1,000 hours — you’re looking at 15x the lifespan. Even against those “long life” incandescents at 2,500 hours, these run 6x longer.

Q: Will these work with existing dimmer switches?

The bulbs are fully dimmable but require LED-compatible dimmer switches for best performance. Old rheostat dimmers from the 1980s will cause flickering. If your dimmer has a slider or knob and it’s more than 10 years old, plan on replacing it. Modern LED dimmers specify minimum/maximum wattage loads.

Q: What’s the actual energy cost savings?

Using only 8.8-9W compared to 60W incandescent means up to 85% energy reduction. That translates to significant savings on electricity bills, especially for Montana’s rural properties where utility costs tend to run higher. Multiply the savings by every bulb in the house.

Q: Do these really look like traditional bulbs when lit?

With 2700K soft white color temperature and clear glass exposing the LED filament design, they nail the vintage incandescent look when illuminated. The 90+ CRI means colors appear natural, not washed out like older LEDs. The only giveaway is when they’re off — the LED filaments look different than tungsten.

Q: What’s included in the 4-pack?

You get 4 A19 LED Filament Light Bulbs, ready to install. All use standard E26 medium base sockets, so they’ll fit any regular lamp or fixture. No adapters, no special sockets — just screw them in like any standard bulb.
