Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I never though choosing LED lights was such a long and painful task. Anyone that has yet had the experience and knowledge of installing LED recess lights in your house note that you have a HUGE surprise coming your way. Price of LED lights have gone down so much to the point that it's almost foolish not to install them. But, with that said and noted there are many many headaches to endure. Yes LED lights don't give off heat, yes they only use fraction of electricity, and yes you will save money on your bill so what can be so hard about installing one right? So here goes my experience (buckle up) I first purchased FEIT LEDs. These were the 100w equivalent 22w usage color temperature 2700K praised by many on Amazon and local electric supply stores. To backtrack those that are unaware LED light output is not only measured in watts but in temperature as well. The higher the temperature the brighter/whiter the light. It was noted that 2700 is warm white and it's the perfect balance to have for traditional houses. So I bring these home unbox them with few short dos and dont experiences get a few in each room (BIG NOTE always always test them in various rooms for output and color before you settling). I flick the switch and notice they are flickering and although box reads 2700k they feel like 2000k. I mean these were so yellow and dark I though I was in a movie theater when you walk in with dim lights. Let's just skip the color issue why are these flickering.....? Hmm maybe they are defective? Maybe it's the can? Maybe it's the wiring? Why are they flicker? This is where I am thankful I had purchased 4 to start and they were installed in multiple rooms with different switches and can models. So final conclusion 4 rooms, 4 switches, 4 cans some different brand all flicker its not my house wiring nor anything else this is a true defect. Next up some no name brand LED from a local store near my house. I figured I'd go with higher temperature since I hated the 2700 so this one was 4000k. Guess what another curve ball. 4000k was to white and I felt like I was sitting in my office which uses fluorescent tubs. It had that hospital white feel. So maybe 3rd time is the charm? Long story short third light was 3000k and although light was great and looked okay it did not dim ! At this point I was ready to give up. I mean to go from flickering, to bad color, to not dimmable I might as well go with regular bulbs and end the madness. Luckily part of me said lets try one last time. I went with SGL 6 inch lights and ....... BAM! They work perfect! No flicker, I can dim them, easy to install and great price. The only small tiny issues although it says 3000k it's closer to 3500k if anything and the light has a .5 second delay when turned on but I can live with both. These are very bright lights and fall in the middle of yellow and white. For my standards I found a winner and the seller is extremely easy to work with. I purchased 24x 6" and 12x 4" models to replace all lights in my house and best of all I am happy with all. PS sorry for long review but figured some can use all this info before diving into LED saga.
