Quoted from Aniraf:The order says “100-PACK-1LEDBA49SWWBTF *100 PACK* - SAVE- 1 LED 6.3V AC/DC WARM WHITE SUPERIOR LED DOMED "BULLET" BULB - Frosted - #44/#47 Bayonet - Warm White”. So I am not entirely sure?
Yep, those are the lesser LED bulbs, rather than the SMD bulbs.
Quoted from ryanwanger:Struggling to figure out what to do about these bulbs. People won't stop buying them, and they work in low-use environments, but it comes with a lot of bad press and threads like this which probably do damage to the brand.
It might be time to retire them if they're starting to cause headaches. It's not the first time I've seen the dimming complaint in recent months. I still do use one LED bulb, though--the 6 LED fan. I think it's perfect for Gottlieb pop bumpers; good color, nice spread, and no blooming.
Maybe replace the LED bulbs with something like a 3528 or 3014 SMD for folks who don't like the brightness of the 5050 SMD? And maybe design that as the "retro" bulb for a near close equivalent to incandescent?
