Corn-style LED bulbs pack a lot of LEDs into a normal bulb shape, and this JacobsParts one was way brighter than the bulb it replaced.
I have been warming up to LED bulbs because they come on instantly, unlike compact fluorescents. This JacobsParts corn bulb in 6000K cool daylight white has a standard E26/E27 base and a regular bulb shape, so it fits places where a big corn bulb would not. The button below goes to a current 6000K daylight corn bulb.
- Way brighter than the incandescent it replaced
- LEDs on top also light the area below
- Instant on and off, no warm-up
- Normal bulb size fits regular lamps
- No diffuser, so it is hard to look at directly
- 6000K is a crisp daylight white, not a soft warm light

Design
Compared with a bigger corn bulb I reviewed before, this one is close to a regular bulb shape and size, a little longer and flaring out more quickly. LED elements cover boards along the sides, kind of like a space module.
There are LEDs on the top too. My other big bulb had them only on the sides, so it lit the room like a lighthouse but left the area right below a bit dim.
Brightness test
Compared with the incandescent bulb that was in the fixture, this is way brighter. It is hard to look at directly. The old bulb gave a soft warm white, and this is a bright daylight white.
Light also streams straight down because of the top LEDs, so it lights a room like a regular bulb even without a frosted cover.
About the buy link
My original link only went to an Amazon search, so the button now goes straight to a 6000K daylight-white LED corn bulb with an E26 base. Wattage and lumens vary by listing, so check them for your fixture.
Verdict
It turns on and off instantly with no compact-fluorescent warm-up. It is small enough for normal lamps and probably glass globe fixtures. Impressive, and not expensive.
