class=\"value\">While the Feit bulbs didn\u2019t perform as well as the Philips, I do like the idea of selectable color temperatures, not because I think people will be changing them often, but because I think people might not know their preference and having adjustable color temperature allows for experimentation in different rooms, at different times of day, and the ability to match existing lighting. The 60W Feit bulbs from Costco had more flicker than I\u2019d like but had very decent CRI and brightness especially for $1.67 each, while the 100W Feit bulbs had much better flicker and efficiency with the tradeoff of higher cost. Unfortunately, while they do specifically say they are damp rated, neither the 60W or 100W boxes say anything about enclosed fixtures or downlighting, and the older style plastic and aluminum construction tends to get much hotter than the newer all glass design, not to mention the fact that the glass bulbs do a much better job of evenly lighting an area rather than just emitting light in a single direction.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-post-featured-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/39-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" style=\"object-fit:cover;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/39-1.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/39-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/39-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/39-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/39-1-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<div class=\"is-display-inline-block is-acf-field is-link-field acf-content wp-block-mfb-meta-field-block\"><div class=\"prefix\">More information:<\/div><div class=\"value\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/QEvIUA7Ffp4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/QEvIUA7Ffp4<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f47521;color:#f47521\"\/>\n\n<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","rec_category":[52,23],"class_list":["post-10392","recommendation","type-recommendation","status-publish","hentry","rec_category-led-light-bulbs","rec_category-smart-home"],"mb":[],"acf":[],"mfb_acf":[],"mfb_rest_fields":["title","gutenberg_elementor_mode"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recommendation\/10392","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/recommendation"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/recommendation"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10392"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"rec_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rec_category?post=10392"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
