60W equivalent LED lamp at $6

Internet-based lighting retailer 1000Bulbs. Com has introduced a new LED lamp for home lighting, which can provide 800 lumens output and can replace the traditional 60W incandescent bulbs, priced at only 5.99 US dollars. But the lamp is not dimmable and not an omnidirectional lamp, but it looks a lot like the A19 incandescent bulb and produces a warm 2700K color temperature.

The new bulb is a design specified by the 1000 Bulbs Precision Lighting Transformer brand (PLT). The PLT's 101233 A19FR lamp is the brand's first A19 lamp. The company hopes to open the market at a low price. Previously, US retailer Home Depot sold 60W equivalent TCP LED bulbs and Philips SlimStyle lamps are priced at 8.97 US dollars, but all have dimmable features, drive electronics have increased Cost. In spite of this, the company stated that many places do not need dimming lamps. And will also provide an adjustable version, but the price will increase by 1 US dollar, in addition, will also introduce 40W and 50W equivalent products. 1000Bulbs did not say whether the new design was launched for Energy Star. The lamp produces a well-balanced, warm beam, but there is very little downward light and the design does not meet the full range of A19 lamps required by the Energy Star. Cree's 60W-equivalent to A19's product is also priced at less than $10 at Home Depot and has a government rebate of $5 or higher. The 1000-bulbs bulb has a two-year warranty. The company expects to have a lifespan of about 25,000 hours and a power consumption of 10W for 800 lumens.
