Originally a manufacturer of LED components, Cree first caught my attention back in 2014 after the North Carolina-based company started selling light bulbs of its own. That first generation of Cree LEDs performed well in our tests and didn’t cost as much as the competition. But that was then — these days, most of the competition has caught up to Cree’s low-cost strategy, and some have even surpassed it.
That’s why it’s no surprise that Cree’s newest flagship bulb, Judi Poker Online a 60-watt replacement LED that sells in a two-pack at Home Depot for about $8, is its most affordable yet. Cree got there by borrowing a page from the bargain bulb playbook and going with a cheaper, less distinctive design, but fortunately, the performance is still solid. In my tests, the bulb was brighter than advertised and quite good at dimming, too. Most reassuring of all, it still comes with Cree’s category-leading 10-year warranty.
At four bucks a pop, it’s as close to a sure pick as you’ll find in the lighting aisle, and a safe choice for anyone who just needs a quick, easy replacement for a typical household fixture or lamp.
