Nice snag!

You can snag one too....hopefully your local Lowes has the same reduction price...I found mine at the lighting department (not the lightbulb aisle, I didn't see it there...but I walked farther and when I went to where the fans were displayed, I found a bunch of them for limited sale!

Interesting, I rarely see the LED lamps for 50% off, nice catch.

Yeah, nice catch! Did you test it so far?

Read the discription Vince.....its also very nicely dimmable!!!

How much did this actually cost? LEDs are expensive, so even at 50% off, it was probably over $15?

nope...9.98 bucks

Wow. I gotta see if they're still there.

The shelf was FULL when I was there (not the bulb aisle...it was acutally at the light fixture aisle at Lowes)

I have seen them for 50% off at the local Lowes too. Haven't decided if I will buy one or not. However someone at candlepowerforums.com bought one and he said it failed after 12 hours of use or so, driver failure. Haven't seen this lit so I can't comment on color quality and brightness, but my Philips 12.5w AmbientLED has pretty good color and its as bright as a 60w inc.

Ihave to say, once some improvements are made and cost goes down, I may consider LED as an alternative.

You will have a choice of three light sources: CFL, Halogen and LED. There's always talk that LEDs will take 90% of the lighting market but professionals (engineers who design lamps) keep telling me they don't believe it. We will see I suppose.

90% of residential maybe. Definenatly not commercial as LEDs just aren't bright enough of tough enough.

Well for me, I thought the brightness was GREAT, the color was actually good, but not as close to incandescent as this GE CFL I have but I must say it seems much brighter than the GE one! Probably because it spreads out MORE light instead of being more directional....so I was rather impressed with it for the quality of the light, the spread out of the light, how it lit.

Failure rate? I donno....but even in the olden days, Westinghouse had it's own quirks

And to streetlight98....actually LED is much more common in commercials as of now! My college has a big big art studio room LIT entirely with LEDs! They do rather well for the purpose! Also my local supermarket, has a bunch of LEDs in use for the veggies and fruit aisles, and the frozen aisles....

The biggest problem with LEDs is cost. Even at $10 the Utilitech LEDs still aren't selling at Lowes. The industry is trying to reduce costs through improved manufacturing processes. Some say LEDs will cost $2-4 apiece someday.

Well it was exactly the same sistuation for CFL back in the early 90s!!!!!!!!!!!

All LEDs are worth is about $15 max, they just want huge profits, so they sell them at a higher price.

I wekt back to the store, apparently, its not a sale price, but a permanet price for this specific one........

Oh well.

@Streetlights98 No...That's actually even better! Meaning it's a reduced permanent price! Meaning it will not be increased again, it will stay at 9.98 bucks!!!
