Cree's new bulb lights up the room

2013-12-03
hey I'm seen that's right Chris and today we're talking about crees new 75 watt replacement LED bulb and here it is right here in this lamp you can see it looks just like the old Cree bulbs but this one is a lot brighter it's got eleven hundred lumens as opposed to 800 lumens and the 60 watt replacement Cree bulb if you turn it on you can see that it's quite bright it puts out a lot of light it's good for filling your room it's enough light for a lot of residential uses we like it quite a bit it does cost a little more costs 2397 as opposed to 1297 for the 60 watt replacement that's a lot more that's eleven dollars more than the 60 watt replacement but as bulbs get brighter they do get more expensive it's also worth noting that the Cree bulb is pretty good price compared to competitors if you look at a 75 watt replacement from Phillips for instance that'll cost you about thirty dollars so 2397 not great but not unreasonable by any stretch and this bulb keeps a lot of the attractive specifications of the previous cree bulbs it's got a 25,000 our lifespan so it'll last you over 20 years if you use it for three hours a day it also has 2,700 k of color temperature which gives it a nice warm yellow glow and it's got a 10 year warranty like other creep olds and we love that that's something you can't find out any other manufacturer perhaps best of all is that this is a very efficient bulb it gives off its 11 hundred lumens of light using only 13.5 watts of power and that means it's about 81 lumens per watt right there that's a really good number we like that quite a bit the 60 watt LED replaced with the Cree put out got Energy Star certification because it had 85 lumens per watt so we'll see if 81 is good enough for Energy Star that happens the price this bowl could go down a little bit if you're looking for a better brighter bulb in your home I think you're going to like the crease 75 watt replacement quite a bit for cnet I'm right wrist you
