Not 1500 lumens
This is for the 100W equivalent warm white bulbs rated at 1500 lumens. Upon installing the first one, it was obvious to me that it wasn't as bright as an incandescent 100W bulb. I took the light meter app on my phone and measured a 100W incandescent bulb and got a reading of 1430 lumens and a color temperature of 2900 Kelvin. Substituting these LED bulbs, I got a lumen reading of just 950 and a color temperature of 2800. That's over 1/3 less than the rated output and so I tried several out of the box of 16 and got very similar readings.I then went to the local big box store and bought a name brand 100W equivalent LED bulb. Physically, the bulb is quite a bit bigger and the light output was a whopping 1470 lumens at 2900K color temperature. This was what I expected from the Amazon branded bulbs so was disappointed. I did check the markings on the bulbs to make sure I didn't get the 75W equivalent and no, these were supposed to be 100W equivalent.This is the first Amazon branded product that I have been disappointed in - clearly they did not quality test these bulbs before branding them and selling them.

Akkk - Color Too White/Blue 😲
I put them in my kitchen fixtures. They are SO different than my usual more golden color. They made the room look white/blue bright, very awful aura and not comfortable for me at all, and took them (6) right out. I don't know what I did wrong in choosing them. I am putting them in my outdoor fixtures. Not a comforting light for me. I tried ordered a warm LED but idiot California will not ship to me in this State. Some new law again....Maybe the 100 watt is too much. I want my 'warm' light back!!! Where are you warm LED's??? Wish I could change out the politicians in California so easily...

Save your money!
REVIEW UPDATE:These bulbs don’t last at all. I have already had to replace 3 of them. I do not recommend this product, I bought it at the end of June and it’s the beginning of September.______________________Just received a pack of six. Pretty simple and good quality.

Seem good so far!
I purchased these for my boyfriend after nagging him for 3 weeks to replace the burned out lights in his ceiling fan to no avail. He was using his desk light instead (because that's clearly an adequate substitute).I lost patience with his promises to grab them "next time he was out" after the 6th time he failed to deliver and took matter into my own hands. Amazon prime 2 day shipping to the rescue. I purchased the 75W equivalent lights and screwed them in. There wasn't any delay with the lights having to warm up, and the three I screwed in all worked right off the bat. I came back later to find my boyfriend unscrewing one bulb complaining that they "worked too well" and were too bright.Even with one bulb taken out, the room is very well lit and the soft white is pleasant and warm, but not too yellow (which is important since I do my makeup in the room).I also noticed that the bulbs don't seem to heat up like the old ones did, which was a nice bonus since I've burned my fingers before.I'll update this review if anything happens, but for the past few weeks, so far, so good

Awful cold white light
I don't understand why this bulb is called "daylight." The room feels like a morgue. Cold, bright, unforgiving, and unpleasant light.

Avoid the 100W Equivalent Daylight (5000K) if you don't like a green tint.
From my usage, the bulbs (100W Equivalent, Daylight, Non-Dimmable, 10,000 Hour Lifetime, A19) have a lot of positive features:+ Speced at 100W Equivalent (15W, 1500 lumen).+ A19 'normal' light bulb size (many 100W Equivalent are larger A21 sized).+ Usable/safe in enclosed light fixtures (per a response from the manufacturer in the "Customer questions & answers" section).+ In my garage door opener, they do not seem to add any interference that decreases remote range.+ The Daylight 5000K color temperature seems accurate and they are not noticeably blue 6500K LEDs trying to be passed off as "5000K".+ So far I have not noticed any hum.I have found it difficult at this time to find LED bulbs in the ~1500 lumen range that are both A19 sized and safe to use in enclosed fixtures, so that is a big win.But there are some cons:- Non-dimmable (minor con and they are clearly labeled as such, but it would make them more multi-purpose).- 80+ CRI (again per the manufacturer in the "Customer questions & answers" section); 90+ would be nice.And the biggest con for me by far:-- There is a noticeable green tint to my eyes.This may be the cause of some of the negative reviews that call the 100W Daylight version 'harsh'. As I understand it, this is common with many currently available 4000~5000K LEDs, especially when they are driven at lower currents to keep them cool and efficient.As I was planning on using these for garage (supplemented by some nice 4000K LED lights) and outdoor (covered) lighting, this isn't a major deal breaker for me. However, I did use some for interior lighting to see how they worked; I am definitely not a fan for this usage.Still, 1500 lumen/A19/safe in enclosed fixtures may bring me back for interior lighting, but I would definitely choose the Soft White (2700K) version instead.

Amazing Product!
Very bright and they don't get hot! I bought them to replace the standard 40W light bulbs that came with the apartment. Now I can see into the future. Lol! In all seriousness, these bulbs are extremely worth the buy.

Harsh Light
The light caused my eyes to hurt immediately. I returned them and got a refund. I use many led light bulbs in my house and these were the first to irritate my eyes and make my head hurt.

Fake advertizing by Amazon, these are only 6 watt bulbs not 10W.
These light bulbs are only 6 Watt bulbs not the advertised 10Watts. it is a blatant lie to advertise them as equivalent to 100 watts, if that were the case my light bulbs would be 10 watt not 6W.The bulbs I received are equivalent to 60 watts not 100 W.Unfortunately it will be a lot of hassle to return them and they do work but shame on you Amazon for telling the public that these bulbs are equivalent to 100 watt incandescent bulbs, it is simply not true.Buy them at your own risk.

Will not buy again
They're lightbulbs, they work, they shipped quickly. The light they give off is a warm white, which we prefer. That being said, we not at all happy with this product.With all the very obvious talk about environmental awareness, global warming etc, we would prefer to use LED bulbs AND shop online. Sadly, Amazon is sure not doing its part for the environment.Not only are these bulbs nearly 100% PLASTIC, each also comes individually wrapped in - you guessed it - MORE PLASTIC. Absolutely unnecessary, and a flagrant middle finger to anyone who happens to care about the fact that the planet has gone to environmental hell.Thanks very much, Jeff Bezos. While the rest of us die above ground, you can hide in your spiffy new underground bunker, paid for by your customers.Unlikely this review will see the light of day, as usual, as it's critical of Amazon & its operations.

You might get lucky
Only received 40 watt equivalent bulbs. Took over a week to come with prime. Sent the first set back only to receive another set of 40 watt a week later. The second set had a smaller sticker that said it was 100 watt, but the bigger product sticker says 40 watt on it. Opened it up and yeah, 40 watt.I don't like to gamble, and this is a gamble. If you get the right product, grats.

5x less energy needed than halogens
These LED bulbs are as described by amazon, the light is warm and bright just like the old halogen bulbs. The upside is that they are energy efficient which means the electricity bill goes down, but as importantly less energy needs to be created (where I live, energy is mostly created by coal and natural gas) to get the same product. Changing to these bulbs around your entire home is one of the easiest and most important things you can do to help reduce use of fossil fuels and emissions of greenhouse gases.

Works very well, excellent price
I picked up some 100w equivalen bulbs at 2700k (the yellowish colour) from a major store in person. they worked fine, but I wanted to add a single natural white light to the mix to get a more study focused vibe. I realized that the 100w 5000k on amazon are much cheaper than in store. So decided to try.They are VERY bright. Perfect if you want to light a room well. The colour/temp of these is whiteish, like natural sunlight. They work well in bathrooms, offices, outdoors, and in you garage. If you want a more mellow livingroom/dining room vibe get the 2700k or 3000k variant (which are a more yellow tone).There is a very evident difference in brightness between these and a 40w or 60w equivalent. Yet still quite low power consumption. No buzzing noises, no flickering. Longevity I cannot speak to yet, but so far so good!
