I hope this is the right section this. I haven't done a whole lot of research on LED house lighting but I've found 9 watt leds at Home Depot for $17 so I've been stocking up on these.

Just wondering if there are any cons besides the cost and the fact that most can't be dimmed (the cheap HD ones can).

So far I love these things. No wait for full output. Almost no heat. The color is warmer than most flourescents but not as yellow as incandescents.

I got the 9 watt ones partially due to the price and partially because I was replacing the 10 40 watt bulbs in the bathrooms which these are supposed to replace. Suprisingly the 9 watt leds are brighter than the 40watt bulbs they're replacing. I ended up using only 3 of the 5 bulbs in each bathroom.

I haven't seen a whole lot on these bulbs, just wondering if anyone knows of any cons or some place they sell them cheap. I want to replace every bulb in the house with them but I'm wondering if anyone thinks the price will come down much in the next year or two.

 

Pics?

 

Here's some 9w I have



the picture is not accurate to the color temperature as my iphone over exposed as you can see by the blown out counter top. They are actually pretty natural in light color
