5.0 out of 5 starsGreat LED bulbs - value for money.

This is the best deal in terms of LED bulbs:
Context: I do not have access to buy the EESL led bulbs. Hence I had to resort to looking for deals among the other vendors.
Kind of usage expected: I wanted the led bulbs to replace my tube lights. I compared the lumens from the tube light and hence bought the 13-watt led bulbs from Eveready for that usage. So far I am very satisfied.
Quality: The quality of the bulbs is very good. I did a lot of research especially for the heat sink that is faulted for most of the failures in LED bulbs. Other than Osram, none of the other bulbs have a good heat sink - including Philips. So far, I have had very good use of these bulbs and they have been very reliable. Howveer, they are of chinese make and I do not expect them to have a good heat sink. Most of the places that I use are very well ventilated.
In terms of brightness quality, they re really good and I have no issues.
One of the common complaints is that of shadow that the bulb produces. However, I have had limited issues because of that. The temperature that I use is also very bright. The CRI is also pretty good. I have had no issues in terms of reading or any shadow in the rooms.
What makes this a very good deal is the free AA batteries that come with it. The batteries are -of course - pretty good.
To give a full picture of the other brands that I evaludated before were Wipro, Osram, Philips and other third party brands.
Osram was too expensive. Philips and Wipro were very shabby. Philips was a disappointment given that it was very expensive - almost twice as expensive as Eveready and not enough value for that.
The only issue that I have is that this bulb is quite heavy and does not sit well on the bulb holders that are side ways inside of upside down.
