am seen that's right Chris and this is the GE energy smart 60 watt replacement LED now the prices of these kinds of bulbs has fallen pretty steadily over the last few years right now you can get a 60 watt replacement LED from Cree or Philips or GE here for about $10 you can find this one at Walmart Target Sam's Club it's a very easy bulb to find but how does it do in home lighting well it does very well uses 11 watts to put out 800 lumens and that's nice and efficient at 72 or 73 lumens per watt but not as good as Krier Philips which both boast better efficiency scores however the GE bulb makes up some ground when you're comparing it if you look at its color rendering capabilities now this bulb has a color rendering score of 80 out of 100 and that's the same thing you'll get from creer Philips but those scores don't tell the whole story they're an average of every color it's trying to render and so you can have 180 be better than another 80 and in the GES case it's a pretty good 80 take a look at this bowl of M&Ms a lot of nice colors that white bowl that natural wood tone we've got it lit by the Cree 60 watt LED right now and now watch what happens when you fade to the GE 60 watt those colors pop a little more the white doesn't look quite so yellow the wood looks a little more natural it's just a very slight subtle uptick in color quality now if that's the type of thing that matters to you if you have artwork in your home or you have a really specific color scheme you might like that about this bulb and that might make it worth the fact that it's not quite as efficient and doesn't have as long a warrantee as that cree LED so all in all not my favorite 60 watt replacement LED but still one that merits consideration for Sina I'm right Chris
