LED bulbs

[WB4JFI]

One other thing to be careful about on these LED bulbs.  Some of them (maybe including the one below) are LONGER than regular incandescent bulbs.  I have a ceiling fan that I could not put some LED bulbs in because the bulb was too long and the cover would not fit over.

If you are putting them in a tight location, such as a ceiling fan with cover or garage door opener, make sure you check the length of the bulbs first.  Just because the base screws in doesn’t mean they are an exact replacement physically.

Rob,

I missed your question. Yes, the box says Staples. The product does not show up at www.staples.com. The box shows the number 26790 and that may be the Staples SKU. The receipt shows 718103222051.

  Dimmable 3000K sounds like quite a winning combo.  The 2700K bulbs always seem too yellow to me, while the 5000K ones are way too blue.

  Just to be clear, "Staples Brand" means you can buy it at Staples right?  :)
