DiCUNO ProOE A19 LED Bulbs 60W Equivalent, 5000K Daylight White, 806 Lumens 9W LED Light Bulb, High CRI 98, Non-dimmable, 100-240V, E26 Medium Base, Frosted, Pack of 6

So far these seem to be good bulbs. CRI is really as high as advertised, no flicker, power consumption is as advertised as well. The only question is how long they will live... well, we'll see

Having a high CRI with a High R9 is critical for showing accurate colors for artwork and everything else being illuminated. It is difficult to find a bulb like this with a CRI over 98, while also having a strong Red Light Index (R9). Manufacturers tend to go for a high CRI for advertising while neglecting R9, which is more difficult to produce. This bulb also reduces blue light to help reduce eye strain, without sacrificing CRI. Normally, a bulb with this color profile is much more expensive.

Great color rendition. A bit dim for 60 watts.

CCT(Kelvin) measures at 2860k, which is just barely closer to 3000k than 2700k.... but it essentially dead in the middle. This is how alot of bulbs test, they are never dead on the CCT rating. So its best to buy all of the same brand bulbs for each room. Now to the good stuff, these test phenomenally. VERY high CRI, and not just a fake high CRI, all the color bands including R9 are very high. This is as close to an incandescent as I have ever seen in an LED bulb. And for the price? WOW! Yes they get hot, but high CRI bulbs are ALWAYS less efficient. You get high efficiency, or high CRI.. not both. They are still miles ahead in efficiency than an incandescent. The test results speak for themselves... maybe when I get around to it, I will buy some 5000k and test those. Also, I dimmed them.. it worked, and they didnt flicker.. but I would not recommend it as they are not built for dimming which means it will likely lead to flickering eventually. But other than the slightly off CCT and the no dimming.. these are just fantastic. I wish these were available in a smart bulb.. but you can hook your lamp up to a smart plug if you want to remotely turn these on or off...

I had high hopes for these... a CRI of 98 and less than $3 per bulb? On paper, these aounded ideal, and I was getting ready to replace all the bulbs in my house if these looked good. Sadly, they have an unnatural yellow hue that halogens of the same alleged color temperature do not have. The white balance looks so off that any additional perceived benefit from the higher CRI is lost.

I was so pleased by the immediate/apparent performance of these bulbs, as soon as I had all 6 installed, I sat down on my PC and ordered another 6!Noticeably brighter-feeling, and *much* better color rendition than cheapie Phillips '60W' 5000k bulbs!I cannot convey (in words) just how much better the color rendition and "effective illumination" is, vs. every other LED or CFL I've ever used.Ex: When you look directly at the ProOE bulb [ill-advised], the light looks very 'cool'. However, when the light lands on surfaces (like wood cabinets) there is no color fading, blue-shift, or wash-out; it looks fantastic! Even in a mostly-white painted kitchen, these bulbs do not *feel* 'blue', at all.Previously, with the 'baseline' Phillips 60W-equiv 5000k bulbs, the kitchen would look 'bright' but *feel* very dim; like there was light spectra missing. Now, with these ProOE bulbs (for the same '60W' wattage ratings) the kitchen feels *immensely* better illuminated.All 6 arrived fully-functional, even under-packaged.No immediately-noticeable flicker or audible noise.The 'universal voltage' implies some kind of ActivePFC inside the bulb; not sure if beneficial or not.In my case, it's an interesting feature to have; I use both 120VAC and 240VAC (60hz) outlets in my home.It will take time to see how long these last...Most will be installed in glass dome-covered ceiling fixtures; which, had a tendency to excessively heat the old cheapie Phillips bulbs.Unless, these end up having reliability or degradation issues, these'll be the *best value* 'high performance' LED bulb I've ever used.

Wow, these bulbs are nice if you miss old bulbs and that almost 100 CRI. I compared it to a halogen incandescent and it looks identical. However, the 3000 kelvin one seems more like around 2700-2800k in appearance (more yellowish than white).

The color on these are truly amazing and in line with their marketing claims. I just wish they would have a 100W equivalent (e.g. 1600 lumens). These ones are a bit too dim for my intended application. I suppose I'll wait for them to release a higher-watt version in the future.
