9.5W LED omnidirectional A-Lamp 60W compatible with 91+ CRI

Saves 84% over a 60W incandescent bulb

MaxLite's LED light bulb that looks, feels and works like a standard light bulb but uses only 9.5 watts of power, saves 84% over a 60-watt incandescent and lasts 20 times longer. The payback is one year or less depending upon usage! After that, it's money in your pocket.

Not only does this super-efficient lamp offer huge savings, but there's no compromise in looks or performance. The light output (lumens) are 800 (comparable to a 60-watt incandescent) and the color is a 2700K (CCT) soft-white, which makes it virtually indistinguishable from a normal incandescent. It is omnidirectional with a 300-degree beam angle that throws light in all directions, making it ideal for a wide range of applications such as pendants, chandeliers, wall sconces, and table, floor or ceiling lamps.

Unlike incandescents and compact fluorescents (CFLs), LED lamps create light without wasting energy in the form of heat. They run much cooler and can be handled without gloves. If they break, they don't cause panic, because there is no mercury inside like in most CFL bulbs. They also turn on and off instantly, without wearing out a filament or without a slow increase in light or flickering like in CFLs. And they are dimmable down to 10 percent. Special dimmers may be required. (See features below).

But, most importantly, the color accuracy (CRI) is 91 which makes objects look even better than the 82 CRI. Gone are the days of weird-looking light bulbs with strange blue or white colors. This bulb will fit into any normal socket, and can be used indoors or outdoors ; it will last for 25,000 hours.

All of MaxLite's products are Energy Star rated which means they are UL listed and LM-79 certified to the highest standards of efficiency and luminous efficacy. This product comes with a 5-year limited warranty.

LEDs may cost more initially than incandescents or CFL bulbs, but due to falling prices, they are an excellent investment that will save you money immediately, and will probably never require your changing a light bulb again.

Why we like it

If you have nice artwork or are fussy about color, this one is for you. The 91 CRI compared to most other 82 CRI means this renders objects much truer in color. It is noticeable and, according to some lighting specialists, it can even make you feel happier!

Features & benefits

• Low operating cost/big savings — save 84% on energy; payback in approximately one year. Average operating cost is $1.08 per year (depends on rates and usage)
• High-efficacy — approximately 84 lumens per watt vs. 15 for incandescents and 50 for CFLs
• Accurate color — 91+ CRI, closest to incandescents in color, but much more accurate color rendering than other LEDs or CFLs
• Safer — contains no mercury; ultra-low EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies; dirty electricity)
• Reduces cooling costs in summer — operates much cooler; requires less air conditioning
• Longer-lasting — no filament or ballast to burn out from over heating; lasts approximately 22 years or 25,000 hours vs. 2,000 hours for incandescents and 5-10, 000 hours for CFLs (based on 3 hrs. per day)
• Less lumen degradation — over time, LEDs lose up to 30% of their light output while incandescents and CFLs lose 50% or more
• Dimmable — can be dimmed with Lutron or Leviton dimmers without loss of color: Lutron CTCL-153P, Lutron DVCL-153P, Lutron LGCL-153P, Lutron S-600, Leviton IPL06, Leviton IPI10, Leviton 6631-LW, Leviton 6683-IW
• Easy-to-install — standard medium Edison base
• Use almost anywhere — indoors or outdoors; in chandeliers, sconces, and table, floor or ceiling lamps
• Soft warm-white appearance — looks like a traditional incandescent, not harsh white or strange blue
• 5-year warranty — With short payback of one year, this is a great investment
• Energy Star — UL listed and LM-79 certified
• Rebate-qualified — all utility companies require a minimum of Energy Star standards
• Qualifies for LEED points — up to 16 points for energy and atmosphere, indoor environmental quality, sustainable sites, innovation and design process
