I bought these 60 Watt A-15 Frosted Appliance Light Bulbs to use on our oven hood. Even with Shipping they were quite a bit cheaper than what you'd pay for similar bulbs if purchased at the local grocery store (something like $2 a bulb!!) ...so I was very happy with the cost ( 89 cents a bulb including Shipping).

But once installed on the hood, side-by-side with a higher-priced bulb, I noticed the light produced was noticeably not as bright....nothing dramatic but very noticeable.

So....not sure whether or not I'd recommend them....depends on where your priorities are I guess....light or savings.

I like these frosted bulbs because they seem to last long, and the shadows are much softer than with clear bulbs.

Pros: No Glare, Long Life, Bright, Fits

Cons: Gets Hot

Best Uses: Oven, Kitchen, Covered Fixtures, Closets
